SL vs IRE Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 6, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 6 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between SL vs IRE to be played in Colombo.

Sri Lanka have been going through a tough phase both on and off the field. Since the Asia Cup 2025, they have been struggling a lot. A sudden change in the T20I captaincy and losing consecutive series have not helped them a lot.

But as a co-host of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, they are expected to do well in home conditions. Sri Lanka will be in action on Sunday, taking on Ireland at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Sri Lanka recently lost ODI and T20I series at home against England. They look to have an unsettled lineup, which will be a big area of concern. Meanwhile, Ireland seem ready for the challenge, and they are playing really good cricket of late. They have a real chance here.

SL vs IRE: Pitch Report

The wicket in Colombo is expected to be more in favor of the bowlers. Seamers get more out of the new ball here with good bounce and movement.

But as the ball gets old, it is expected to grip, and spinners will get fast turn here. With the rain predicted on Sunday, teams might look to bowl first and use the conditions to better impact.
