Match Preview

As we enter the Super Four stage in the ongoing Asia Cup, Sri Lanka takes on arch-rivals Bangladesh in the first match on Saturday. Sri Lanka has remained unbeaten in the first stage and is in fine form. The batsmen at the top of the order have done most of the heavy lifting and will look to take their team to a big total.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers have done an excellent job as well, with both spinners and seamers picking up wickets.

Bangladesh hasn’t been in the best of form in this tournament, but has shown flashes of brilliance. The team boasts of a good mix of youth and experience and can spring a surprise when it is least expected from them. Also, playing against Sri Lanka is likely to bring the best out of them.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a typical Dubai wicket for this match, one which is slightly on the slower side. The batsmen have struggled to play the big shots on this surface and have to work hard to score runs. Rotating the ends and waiting for the loose deliveries will be the key for them. The spinners are likely to play an important role in this match,

The weather will remain warm and humid, and the dew might come in during the second half.
