Who will win the match?

A match that has very little implications when it comes to the points table but it a must win match for both the teams as the spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy is on the line. Sri Lanka positioned seventh on the points table with four points needs one more win to advance to the 2025 Champions Trophy, while Bangladesh need to win both the matches with a better net run rate to go ahead of the Netherlands net run rate and qualify for the tournament.

Sri Lanka though still has an outside chance of making it to the semi finals and that can only happen if Sri Lanka win their next two matches by a huge margin of more than 150-200 runs or chase down targets in less than 25 overs. If Pakistan loose to to England by a fair margin of more than 100 runs then the Lankans will have an outside chance of making it to the knockout stages.

Sri Lanka has won three of the last five ODI matches played against Bangladesh and has a slight edge over the tigers. Our final prediction is Sri Lanka to win the match.

Bangladesh chance of winning: 38%

Sri Lanka’s chance of winning: 62%
