BAN vs SL Dream11 16th Match Prediction | Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup 2019

The sixteenth fixture of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between two subcontinent sides – Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the County Ground in Bristol. Both teams are struggling in their campaign and will look to gain momentum in the ongoing tournament.

With two defeats and one win in three games, Bangladesh is in an alarming state. They started with 21 runs win over South Africa but have faced two back to back defeats against New Zealand and England. One more defeat will make things worse for the side. And, hence it is a must-win game for Bangladesh Tigers.

Sri Lanka’s last fixture with Pakistan ended in a no result due to rain coming into action. In three games, Sri Lanka has one win, one loss and one no result and are in a better position than the opposition.

Bangladesh

Tamim Iqbal | Shakib Al Hasan | Mushfiqur Rahim 

Tamim Iqbal has amassed 645 runs in 20 innings at an average of 33.95 against Sri Lanka. He will be a crucial batter Bangladesh and will open the innings along with Soumya Sarkar.

Soumya Sarkar has an average outing against Sri Lanka but his current form can be a criterion to rope him in the fantasy team

In 25 innings against Sri Lanka, Mushfiqur Rahim has managed 608 runs at an average of 24.32. He will be key in the middle order.

Sri Lanka

Angelo Mathews | Lasith Malinga

Angelo Mathews averages above 50 against Bangladesh and will be a key batter for Sri Lanka. In 8 innings, he has scored 219 runs. However, he is not in good touch lately. His last 4 innings score against Bangladesh are 16, 74*, 20* and 56*

Lasith Malinga will be the key in pace attack for Sri Lanka. The veteran pacer has bagged 24 wickets in 13 innings against Bangladesh. With 4/23, 3/35 and 2/45, he has bagged nine wickets in last three innings
