SL vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka, 2nd Test

Written by: Chirag Naiknavare • 23.06.2025

Match Preview

The first test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ended in a draw. However, it was anything but a tame draw. The contest had its share of drama, and when the Bangladesh skipper declared the innings with 38 overs to go on the last day, he created a furore in the Sri Lankan camp as some early wickets went down.

The second test is anticipated to be more dramatic as Sri Lankans will no longer have the services of Angelo Mathews. Rain interruption is possible, which can alter the course of a contest. All in all, you can expect a keenly contested affair in this contest.

SL vs BAN Team Expert Advice

The Bangladesh team did no harm to their confidence in the first test. They were in a better position than Sri Lanka on the last day of the test.
