WTC 2027 SL vs BAN: Dream11 Prediction, Who Will Win Today's Match?

Sri Lanka (SL) and Bangladesh (BAN) are preparing for their second series match in Colombo as the World Test Championship (WTC) 2027 action starts. With the first Test ending in a draw, both teams are looking to secure crucial WTC points as they head into the second game starting on June 24, 2025.

Sri Lanka return to their home fortress in Colombo with plenty on their minds. The post-Angelo Mathews era has begun, and a new name must now step up to fill the leadership and experience void. The first Test gave Sri Lanka a wake-up call, especially with their bowling attack lacking bite on a flat surface.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, showed grit and control with the bat, thanks to a composed innings from Mushfiqur Rahim and the ever-evolving Najmul Hossain Shanto. Their ability to build partnerships and resist Sri Lankan spinners will be crucial as they eye a rare overseas Test win.

Pitch Report – SSC, Colombo

The pitch at Colombo has historically favored batsmen in the early stages, offering little assistance to pacers. However, it is anticipated that the surface would deteriorate and greatly aid spinners as the match goes on. First innings totals have recently gone beyond 600, which underlines the importance of winning the toss and batting first.

Weather Forecast

Unfortunately, weather could be a major disruptor. Rain is forecasted across all five days, which raises concerns about time lost and the possibility of another draw. Intermittent showers and overcast skies could bring moisture into play, making the new ball crucial early on.

Dream11 Team Prediction: Top Captain and Vice Captain- SL vs BAN

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (BAN):

With Shakib Al Hasan absent, Mehidy becomes the central figure in Bangladesh’s bowling unit. His spin could be vital on a turning Colombo track.

Dinesh Chandimal (SL):

A proven match-winner at home, Chandimal has rediscovered form and composure. His experience in handling pressure will be crucial for Sri Lanka’s middle order.

Given their home advantage, superior spin options, and a strong record in Colombo, Sri Lanka are favorites to win the match. However, rain interruptions could once again level the playing field and frustrate both sides’ chances of a result.
