The Australia vs. Netherlands T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up match is scheduled for today, February 5, at 5:00 PM IST at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Since this is a warm-up game, teams often rotate players. Reports suggest Australia might rest Adam Zampa, Tim David, and Nathan Ellis to keep them fresh for the tournament opener.
Here are 5 Dream11 team predictions in a simple format for you:

- Wicket-keeper: Josh Inglis, Scott Edwards
- Batters: Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Max O'Dowd
- All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Bas de Leede
- Bowlers: Xavier Bartlett, Logan van Beek, Ben Dwarshuis
- Captain: Travis Head
- Vice-Captain: Glenn Maxwell
Team 2: Spin & Slow Pitch Special (Premadasa Conditions)
- Wicket-keeper: Josh Inglis
- Batters: Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Michael Levitt
- All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Matthew Kuhnemann
- Bowlers: Aryan Dutt, Roelof van der Merwe, Xavier Bartlett

Team 3: All-Rounder Heavy (Balanced)

Team 5: Grand League Differential (High Risk)

Key Tips for Today:
- Toss Factor: In Colombo, the pitch can slow down as the game progresses. If Australia bats first, their top order is essential. If bowling first, their pacers like Bartlett and Dwarshuis might dominate the early overs.
- Rotation: Keep an eye on the final playing XI (if announced), as warm-ups allow more than 11 players to participate in some cases.
