BAN Vs SL Match Prediction

BAN Vs SL Match Preview

The second T20I match of the series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka got heated around the beginning of 2nd innings regarding Soumya Sarkar’s controversial wicket when Sri Lanka’s players swarmed around the umpire Sharfuddoula questioning the decision. 

The third and final match of the series will undoubtedly be thrilling, and with Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka's captain and star player, back in the lineup, there’s no telling who will win today's match.
 

Bangladesh Preview

Bangladesh has played the 2nd T20I composed and gracefully from the get-go. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto chose to field first and Shoriful Islam’s maiden 1st over gave them time to settle in. Bangladesh for the next game has made almost no changes to their lineup, opener Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar will open, followed by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, and then they have Mahmudullah in the middle order creating an excellent batting front. 

On the bowling side, they have excellent pace bowlers such as Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, and Mustafizur Rahman but not a lot of options on the spin bowler front except for Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain which is a problem Sri Lanka can exploit.
 

Bangladesh - Who Will Be The Best Batter?

In the next encounter, Bangladesh's top batter will probably be their captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. He played wonderfully in his 53 (38) innings in the last game that won him the player of the match title. 

He bats in the middle order so our cricket betting tips say he will build a partnership with one of the openers Litton or Soumya and score another fifty again to be the best batter in the upcoming match as well.

Bangladesh - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?

Bangladesh's top bowler is most likely going to be Shouriful Islam. We've seen him pick up an early wicket in the first match and bowl a maiden over In the second T20I, so his opening few overs are absolutely vital to Bangladesh's victory. 

Although he’s not snatching many wickets, Bangladesh will surely benefit from his medium-paced, well-balanced left-arm delivery that the Sri Lankan batters have to play tactfully.

Sri Lanka Preview

The way that Sri Lanka interacts with umpires has left them disappointed; their captain has previously been suspended for a misdemeanor, and during the most recent game, they nearly got into an altercation with an umpire once more. 

With Wanindu Hasaranga's ban having been removed, he is once again leading Sri Lanka, who now hopes to clinch the T20I series with a victory in the third match. The bowling front is led by young players Matheesha Pathirana and Angelo Mathews, who are seemingly adaptable and effective. Since Nissanka isn't available, they will depend on Wanindu Hasaranga and Charith Asalanka for batting.
 

Sri Lanka - Who Will Be The Best Batter?

In the next second T20I, opener Kusal Mendis might be Sri Lanka's best batter. His 59 (36) innings in the first match turned out to be the decisive factor in Bangladesh's loss. 

While Nissanka's replacement opener A. Fernando is underperforming, the team relies more on Kusal Mendis for opening and he has the best cricket betting odds to be Sri Lanka's best batsman due to his aggressive batting style and fast-scoring abilities.

Sri Lanka - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?

Matheesha Pathirana's fast-paced deliveries with his right arm are distinctive and problematic, making him a potential top bowler in Sri Lanka. Like the legendary Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka, Matheesha Pathirana bowls with a unique low and slinging motion. 

Bangladeshi hitters may find hitting M. Pathirana's deliveries challenging and dangerous after he claimed 2 wickets in the last game. In the upcoming third and final T20I match, Matheesha Pathirana may be Sri Lanka's best bowler.

Wanindu Hasaranga, the captain of Sri Lanka and their most valued player, is expected to have a major impact in the last T20I encounter and might be a strong candidate for the Player of the Match title due to his outstanding batting and bowling ability. 

He was selected player of the series in their last friendly series against Afghanistan with 102 runs and 4 wickets. Should he be able to regain his form, he is a strong contender.
 

BAN Vs SL - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
