Editor
Last updated: 43 minutes ago

Sri Lanka are in superb T20I form, with a four-match win streak, including a recent six-wicket win over Afghanistan. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka have been consistent performers with the bat. Bangladesh are also performing well, having won two of their last three matches, notably defeating Afghanistan by eight runs. Key players for Bangladesh include Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das. No injuries are reported for either squad, and both are expected to field strong lineups. The preview backs Sri Lanka to win, with Kusal Mendis and Tanzid Hasan tipped as top run scorers for their respective teams.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Predictions


Sri Lanka are on a great run of form and I’m backing them to repeat their six-wicket win over Bangladesh from a week ago.

  • Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis has scored 30 & 74* in his last 4 innings.
  • Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka has scored 33, 50 & 68 in his last 4 innings.
  • Bangladesh’s Tanzid Hasan has scored 29, 54* & 52 in his last 5 innings.
  • Bangladesh’s Litton Das has scored 73, 59 & 28 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head


Sri Lanka have won two and lost three of their last five matches against Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka Form


Sri Lanka have won their last four T20I’s in a row, with the last match a six-wicket win over Afghanistan. 

Nuwan Thushara (4/18) bowled superbly to reduce Afghanistan to 40/3 in the fifth over. They ended their 20 overs on 169/8. 

Kusal Mendis (74* off 52) led his side to victory with eight balls to spare. Sri Lanka ended on 171/4. 

Sri Lanka Team News


Sri Lanka are in excellent form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. 

Bangladesh Form


Bangladesh made it two wins from their last three matches when they beat Afghanistan by eight runs. 

Bangladesh were made to work hard for their 154/5 off 20 overs. Tanzid Hasan (52 off 31) starred with the bat for the Tigers. 

Afghanistan’s top-order failed to fire and they were bowled out for 146 off the last ball of their 20 overs. Mustafizur Rahman (3/28, econ 7.00) was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers, with great support from Rishad Hossein (2/18), Taskin Ahmed (2/34) and Nasum Ahmed (2/11).

Bangladesh Team News


There are no injury reports from the Bangladesh squad. 

Verdict

I am backing Sri Lanka to win. I am also backing Kusal Mendis to top score for Sri Lanka.

Tanzid Hasan is a good bet to top score for Bangladesh.
