VENUE: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium – Chittagong, Bangladesh
TOURNAMENT: BAN vs SL 2024
Bangladesh (BAN) versus Sri Lanka (SL) is brewing up to be one of the hottest rivalries in cricket. It all started with the ‘Nagin Dance’ celebration and has now come down to the ‘Time Out celebration’. Notably, veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews was given out against Bangladesh for coming late to the crease during the ODI World Cup. However, the matter didn’t end there. In the third T20I of the series, Bangladesh players mocked Mathews after his dismissal, while the Sri Lankan players replied by doing the same with the trophy during the presentation ceremony.
This has ignited the situation ahead of the ODI series, which is slated to begin on March 13 in Chattogram. After a disappointing ODI World Cup, both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka would be desperate to do well in this format, especially keeping an eye on the Champions Trophy, which will take place in Pakistan next year.
Pitch Report
The surface in Chattogram is usually on the slower side as it heavily supports the spinners. Batting first is ideal as anything over 270 runs will be a good total on this surface.
Probable Playing XIs
Bangladesh:
Litton Das (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain
Sri Lanka:
Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (c/wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka(c), Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Pramod Madushan, Lahiru Kumara
Probable Best Batter of the Match
Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis is in brilliant form at the moment. In the three T20Is against Bangladesh, Mendis made 181 runs at a strike rate of 160.17. He can once again make a difference in the upcoming three-match ODI series.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match
In the spin-friendly conditions of Chattogram, Wanindu Hasaranga can prove to be a massive threat. He was banned from the first two T20Is against Bangladesh but on his return in the third match, the star all-rounder picked up two wickets at an economy of 8.
