SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction 1st Test: Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be kicking off the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle with a two-match series against each other. Pakistan will be returning to Sri Lankan soil after a gap of one year. The first Test match of the series is scheduled to start from Sunday at the Galle International Stadium.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka could not qualify for the WTC finals in any of the previous two cycles. Both teams had a very disappointing WTC season last time and they ended their campaign with 64 points each. With the new cycle about to start, the Asian giants will be looking to get back to their winning ways.
Pakistan cricket team boast a fiery pace attack and a solid batting unit that can cause some trouble for Sri Lanka. But home advantage is expected to work well for the Lankan side. With skipper Dimuth Karunaratne leading from the front, the hosts will be aiming to secure an impressive outing in the Test series against Pakistan. The last series that both teams played had ended in a tie with Sri Lanka winning the second game.
