Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will compete in Super 4 Match 2 of Asia Cup 2023 today, on 9th September. Bangladesh had to face a defeat by 5 wickets against Sri Lanka in the group stage match. Sri Lanka’s performance in this tournament has been excellent. On the other hand, Bangladesh also had to face defeat against Pakistan in Super 4.
SL vs BAN Head to head record:
If we look at the statistics, the Sri Lankan team looks very strong against Bangladesh. A total of 52 ODI matches have been played between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh so far. Out of these, Sri Lanka has won 41 matches, while the Bangladesh team has managed to win only 9 matches. There was no result in 2 matches.
SL vs BAN Past performance of both teams:
In the last match for Sri Lanka, opening batsmen Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne had given a good start to the innings. In this match, excellent performance will be expected from these two players once again. All eyes will once again be on Kusal Mendis, who is handling the middle order exceptionally well. He is in excellent form at the moment.
In the middle order, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, and Dhananjaya de Silva are there to handle the team’s innings. The cause of concern for the Sri Lankan team is the batting of captain Dasun Shanaka. The team will hope that his bat scores freely in this match. Talking about bowling, the fast bowling will be led by Kasun Rajitha and Mathisha Pathirana, while the responsibility of spin will be in the hands of Dunith Wellalage and Mahish Theekshana.
The Bangladesh team needs to improve their performance in the last few matches. Bangladesh openers Mohammad Nayeem and Mehdi Hasan could not show their fire against Pakistan. To win against Sri Lanka in Super 4, the team will have to rectify their past mistakes. Miraj scored a century while performing well against Afghanistan. Liton Das and Tauhid Hridoy are expected to perform well in this match. Captain Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim showed their experience by scoring half-centuries against Pakistan. In bowling, Taskin Ahmed, Shorful Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman will have to take wickets continuously for the team to win.
Bangladesh Playing XI:
Mohammad Nayeem, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Liton Das, Tauhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shorful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shamim Hossain.
