Bangladesh
Bangladesh have series of problems that needs to be resolved if they want to win their match against Sri Lanka. Their top order order as well as their fast bowling does not look good against Afghanistan during their last game. It was only Mosaddek Hussain who managed to play well in their squad. There are a lot of inconsistencies that were shown by Bangladesh. At some point, it is good that they managed to put 20 more runs during their last game.
This team lost wickets within the powerplay, and from there, they were not able to recover. Hussein stepped up big time for Bangladesh. But aside from him, it is also expected that Shakib Al Hasan will lead Bangladesh in this match.
Sri Lanka
Although Sri Lanka have a lot of winners on their team, they still ran out of gas on their first match which makes them lose that match. They were completely outdone by Afghanistan where they were not able to play their full quota of 20 overs. They also played a horrible batting on their last match. Now that they will face a knockout game, they constantly need to trust each other to win.
Since almost none stepped up during their last game, all of the players needs to bounce back for them to stand another day in the tournament. Dasun Shanaka is expected to lead Sri Lanka for this match. Contributions from Bhanuka Rajapaksa is also crucial and is much-needed by his team.
Prediction:
Bangladesh (2.43)
