Match Preview

As expected, Sri Lanka picked up an easy victory in the first ODI of the series against Bangladesh. Although the margin of defeat was on the larger side, the Bangladesh team had some positives to take away from the contest. Some of their batters, such as Jaker Ali and Tanzid Hasan, batted well.

The Bangladesh bowlers also bowled well to pull back the Sri Lankan batting charge, which looked all set for a score over 300 runs at one stage. Sri Lankans, on the other hand, would be happy with the result. They played well despite some spirited opposition from the Bangladesh team in both the batting and bowling departments.

The curator at the R Premadasa Stadium is likely to use a batting-friendly surface for this contest. But the pitch will gradually slow down, and spinners might come into play after a while. The side batting first is likely to look at a score of over 280 runs to feel safe. There is a good chance that we will get a rain interruption during the contest.
