SL vs BAN Betting Tips
Litton Das to score over 19.5 runs
Litton Das is the leading run-scorer for Bangladesh in this tournament. He has scored at least 20 runs in 2 of his 3 innings. Also, he has scored three half-centuries in his last 6 outings. Das has an average of over 25 against Sri Lanka and has scored at least 20 runs in 5 of his 7 innings against them. I think this is a bet worth considering.
Sri Lanka total runs before fall of 1st wicket - Over 21.5
Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis make for a strong opening pair. They have scored at least 22 runs as a pair in each of their last two outings. As a pair, they have an average of close to 35 in 49 innings. I would definitely add this to my pre-match bet slip!

SL vs BAN Team Previews
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has enjoyed a perfect run in this edition, winning all three matches played so far. As a result, they finished at the top of the points table in Group A.
Sri Lanka’s latest win came against Afghanistan on Thursday, where they won by 6 wickets. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka make up for a strong opening and are also the leading run-scorers for Sri Lanka in this tournament.
Mendis scored a brilliant half-century on Thursday and appears to be in fine form. The middle order has a good mix of youth and experience thanks to the presence of Kusal Perera, Kamil Mishara, Kamindu Mendis, and Charith Asalanka, while the two all-rounders, Dasun Shanaka and Dunith Wellalage, add depth to the batting.
Wellalage will join Wanindu Hasaranga in the spin department. Sri Lanka is likely to continue with the new-ball pair of Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera as they have bowled well throughout the series.
With its confidence sky-high, Sri Lanka is going to be tough to beat.
Sri Lanka Expected Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (WK), Kusal Perera, Kamil Mishara, Charith Asalanka (C), Dasun Shanaka, Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Nuwan Thushara, Dushmantha Chameera, Kamindu Mendis

Bangladesh
Bangladesh hasn’t been in the best of form in this tournament, but has done enough to ensure a top-two finish in the group stages. They will now hope to put up better performance going ahead as the stakes get higher.
Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan gave Bangladesh a solid start in the previous match and will look to do the same in this match as well. Tanzid Hasan was in particularly good touch as he scored his first half-century of the tournament.
In the middle order, Litton Das has led the team from the front as he is the highest run-scorer for his team so far. Das will be joined by Towhid Hridoy, Nurul Hasan, and Jaker Ali. Bangladesh also has a solid all-rounder in the form of Shamim Hossain, who can play the big shots during the death overs.
Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed have picked up 4 wickets each and will lead the attack with the new ball, while Rishad Hossain and Nasum Ahmed will feature in the spin department.
Expect a strategy similar to what Bangladesh employed in the match against Afghanistan.
Bangladesh Expected Playing 11
Tanzid Hasan, Saif Hassan, Litton Das (C & WK), Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed
SL vs BAN Toss Prediction
Three of the five matches played here in this tournament were won while batting first. Also, in three of those matches, the team winning the toss opted to field first. We expect that trend to continue in this match.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch in Dubai has usually favoured the seamers. There is some grass on the surface, and if the quick bowlers pitch the ball in the right areas, they can expect some movement. The batsmen need to treat the ball on its merit and wait for the loose deliveries.
The average first-inning score here in this tournament has been under 150, but the team batting first will look to score at least 160-170 to give the bowlers a cushion. The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 34 degrees.
SL vs BAN: Who Will Win?
The rivalry between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh has thrown out some close contests in the past, and we are expecting another cracking encounter here. We feel that Sri Lanka has an edge here as they have a stronger batting unit and a well-balanced bowling attack. Bangladesh’s batting has been a bit inconsistent, and the performance of the spinners hasn’t been up to the mark.
Bet on Sri Lanka to win.
SL vs BAN win percentage stands at 69% in favor of SL.
Todays Match Prediction: Sri Lanka to Win.
