Welcome to our preview of the match between SL vs BAN of Nidahas Trophy. The match is to be played at R. Premadasa Stadium, Columbo. We cover Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable Playing XI.
With a win like that in the series opener, that too against India, The Sri Lankan confidence must be skyrocketing. They win, and they win with some fireworks in the inaugural T20 for the series. The Powerplay set up the tone of their batting innings, and after a mid-innings glitch, they were home safely thanks to Thisara Perera. Before that, more than half of the work had been done by Kusal Perera’s 66 off 37.
Bangladesh, on the other hand needs a win desperately or they will have a hard time surviving in the series. The match against India brought their bowling attack together, though not a lot to defend, their bowling looked up to the mark and on their day they can do some serious damage. It would be their batting which will need a step up to take them to a big score.
The game will decide many things for Bangladesh future in T20s, and Sri Lanka would love to prove that their first win against India wasn’t a fluke and they mean business.
