BAN vs SL Team Previews
Bangladesh
Bangladesh lost two wickets inside the opening three overs of their chase during the series opener, but recovered to successfully reach a testing target of 256 runs with 32 deliveries to spare. This was a convincing result for the hosts, who can build on that momentum here.
Najmul Shanto struck a superb century in the first match. The responsibility of the captaincy is empowering rather than limiting his primary role with the bat. Shanto's 122 not out received solid support from wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim, who collected an unbeaten 73. Both players should be key in this fixture as well.
Bangladesh can look to new-ball bowlers Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed for instrumental performances again. Islam and Ahmed took three wickets each in the series opener. Conditions in Chattogram could be to their benefit in the follow-up fixture as well.
Bangladesh Playing 11
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy, Soumya Sarkar, Mehidy Hasan, Mahmudullah, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka had two batters reach 30-plus and two others convert to half-centuries in the first match, but they didn't have one that was able to go on to triple figures. This telling lack of individual and collective version cost them earlier this week. A few days later, they have the chance to improve - and quickly.
Janith Liyanage and Kusal Mendis were Sri Lanka's half-centurions in the series opener. Liyanage top-scored with 67 in the middle order, showing enough class and composure to suggest he will be retained in the ODI XI for the foreseeable future. Mendis' spot is almost never in doubt.
Dilshan Madushanka was responsible for Sri Lanka's two early breakthroughs in the first match, but generall proved ineffective thereafter and lacked support around him. Surprisingly, Wanindu Hasaranga was expensive and didn't take a wicket. The leg-spinner is usually a lot stronger than this.
Sri Lanka Playing 11
Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Wanidu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Dilshan Madushanka, Lahiru Kumara, Pramod Madushan.
