Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

SL vs BAN Preview

There is pressure on Sri Lanka because they have only won twice in their last ten games.
Shakib, Taskin Ahmed, and Mahedi Hasan bowled brilliantly in the most recent game, giving Bangladesh’s bowling attack a positive impression.
Sri Lanka’s batting has been weak, and in its last 10 games, the team has only three times reached 150 runs.

On Thursday night at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will square off in the final Group B matchup for the 2022 Asia Cup. The winner of this game, which will finish in second place and advance the winner to the Super Four stage, has already fallen to Afghanistan in the competition. At 18:00 local time, this match begins at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Sri Lanka was defeated by Afghanistan after only 10.1 overs with the ball after not using all of their allotted 20 overs when batting. They need to do better overall in this game.

With four over left against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, who are still struggling in this format, had a commanding lead. They were unable to finish it, and therefore winning this game is essential.

SL vs BAN Weather Report

On September 1, Dubai would experience a warm evening, and ideal batting conditions are anticipated.

SL vs BAN Match Toss Prediction

Only twice in the last 30 games played at this location did the team batting first manage to win. The team that is awarded the toss in this situation will undoubtedly choose to bowl first.

SL vs BAN Pitch Report

For this game, we anticipate another sluggish wicket and low bounce. The surface will be very helpful to spinners, whereas pace bowlers would have to work much harder to take wickets.

Sri Lanka Team News & Probable Playing XIs

In the defeat to Afghanistan, left-arm pace bowler Dilshan Madushanka, 21, and medium pace bowler Matheesha Pathirana, 19, made their IT20 debuts. Despite the fact that neither player grabbed a wicket, the selectors will want to back the two, thus we predict they will both be selected again for this game.

Bangladesh Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The Tigers fielded a team against Afghanistan with a fair amount of experience, but by the middle of the seventh over, they were down 28-4. There are few choices for Bangladesh to choose from at the top of the order because injuries have prevented players like Liton Das from competing in the Asia Cup in 2022.

Sri Lanka is the favourite to win this match.

A victory in this match for either team will ensure more games against the top teams in this region in the Super Fours, which will take place right before the T20 World Cup. We expect neither team to contend for the Asia Cup, but we are betting on Sri Lanka to win this match.
