- Bangladesh vs. Sri Lanka in ODI World Cup on Nov 6.
- Both teams desperate to stay in the tournament.
- Sri Lanka has a strong historical record in ODIs against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are set to square off in the 38th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup, with both teams desperate to salvage their tournament hopes. The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday, November 6.
Bangladesh, led by Shakib Al Hasan, is coming off six consecutive defeats and is currently languishing in ninth place in the ten-team table. Their last loss came against Pakistan, who defeated them by seven wickets, effectively eliminating them from the tournament.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has also suffered setbacks in their recent matches, losing to Afghanistan and India. Their most recent defeat against India was particularly humiliating, with the team succumbing by a massive 302 runs.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is known to favor batters, with its dry conditions and short boundaries. Spinners are expected to come into play later in the match as the pitch dries up. The toss-winning team is likely to bat first to take advantage of the batting-friendly conditions.
The head-to-head record between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in ODIs is heavily in Sri Lanka’s favor, with the latter winning 42 out of 53 matches played. Bangladesh has only managed to win nine matches, with two matches ending in no result.
Both teams are expected to field their strongest possible lineups for this crucial match. Bangladesh’s probable playing XI includes Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam.
Sri Lanka’s probable playing XI includes Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dushan Hemantha, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, and Dilshan Madushanka.
Sadeera Samarawickrama of Sri Lanka is expected to be the top performer with the bat, while Dilshan Madushanka could be Sri Lanka’s best bowler.
This match is a must-win for both teams if they want to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament alive. The match promises to be a thrilling contest, with both teams fighting for every inch.
