Srilanka Preview:
With two wins in two matches, Sri Lanka entered the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup as the only unbeaten team. However, their last match against Afghanistan gave them a proper scare and highlighted the need for consistent performances from their top order.
Opener Pathum Nissanka has been in great form, scoring 472 runs in his last 10 matches at an impressive average of 59. Betting on him to continue his run-scoring spree could be a smart move. Nissanka’s partner Dimuth Karunaratne has also been among the runs, while Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka have provided valuable contributions in the middle order. Matheesha Pathirana‘s consistent yorkers have made him the standout bowler for Sri Lanka in this tournament, and he could be a valuable addition to your fantasy team.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana
Bangladesh Preview:
With Najmul Hossain Shanto out of the tournament, Bangladesh will have to rely on their experienced batters to step up. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim are no strangers to pressure situations and can be solid picks for your betting lineup. In their previous game, Mushfiqur’s knock of 64 was their highest score and Shakib added a useful 53.
Another player to keep an eye on is Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has been in fine form with the bat. His century against Afghanistan as an opener shows his tenacity and could prove to be detrimental to their opposition’s fortunes. The Tigers’ pacers have also been impressive so far in the tournament, making for an exciting prospect as they look to establish themselves as serious contenders.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Naim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud

Pitch Report and Weather Forecast:
- It is a good cricketing pitch where 230-250 runs are a fighting score, anything more than 270 should be match-winning and defendable for either side.
- When it comes to weather, expect rain to play spoilsport as clouds are expected throughout the day.
Match Winner:
Bangladesh to stun Srilanka! Bangladesh has recently improved its performance so it could easily surprise the opponents, who are also in good form. As Srilanka eyes their 13th successive win to tie the second longest winning streak, we expect some jitters and the Tigers seem ready to pounce on it.
