ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 38 | Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka – Will BAN be able to break out of its losing streak by defeating SL? | Nov 06

BAN vs SL Match Analysis

Bangladesh has been eliminated from contention for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 knockout stages. In the 38th match, they will play for dignity against Sri Lanka. The Bangladeshis were defeated by Pakistan in their previous match and have been struggling with poor form. The Sri Lankans were humiliated in their previous encounter against India and must rally to win here.

Bangladesh has now lost six consecutive games. The team has been uneven, and the major players have failed to deliver as a unit. They have a dismal record versus the Lankans, having lost six of the last eight meetings. The Lankans are also not in a good mood, and we anticipate a close battle in this matchup.

BAN vs SL Team Preview & Squads

Bangladesh

Shakib al Hasan’s team began with a win and has since lost six consecutive games. They were eliminated from the competition after losing by seven wickets to Pakistan in the last match. It has been a major setback for the team, which was supposed to do well under these conditions. They play for pride and hope to put on a nice show in this match.

Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan haven’t been consistent, and the duo will try to deliver in this top-tier encounter. The middle order will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mushfiqur Rahim. Mahmudullah has performed admirably in the lower middle order, and he will seek to contribute quick runs alongside Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Bangladesh’s bowling assault has been inconsistent in terms of form. Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam will attempt to challenge the Sri Lankan batting line-up, which is lacking in confidence. Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Shakib are veteran bowlers that the team expects to do well in this match.

Bangladesh Squads

Bangladesh

Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam.

Sri Lanka

Kusal Mendis and his team must overcome their defeat to India. The 302-run setback in the previous match has generated various concerns about their abilities and temperament. They have suffered crushing defeats. Though the team still has a chance to go to the next round if other matches go their way, Mendis and his team would need a huge win to improve their terrible run rate.

The batting order imploded against India, being knocked out for 55 runs. Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne will need to get the team off to a solid start. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama batted effectively in the tournament and will try to form partnerships in the middle order with Charith Asalanka. Angelo Mathews and Dushan Hemantha in the lower middle order will be crucial for the side.

In most games, the bowling attack has failed to implement its plans. Dilshan Madushanka has been the standout bowler, and he needs to get early wickets with Dushmantha Chameera. To keep the scoring rate under control, Kasun Rajitha and Maheesh Theekshana must bowl tight periods in the middle overs. Hemantha and Matthews will also be expected to deliver in supporting roles.

Sri Lanka Squads

Sri Lanka

Pat Cummins (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood.

BAN vs SL outfield report

Arun Jaitley Stadium

The side batting first has won three of the four games played at this location during the 2023 Cricket World Cup, thus we expect both captains to bat first in this match.

The humidity is expected to be low throughout the match, although the temperature will peak at 29 degrees on Monday. There will be no rain at this location.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has a superb batting wicket with plenty of pace for the strikers to exploit. A par score will be approximately 300, however, the spinners will have some turn.
