BAN vs SL Preview

Bangladesh (BAN) versus Sri Lanka (SL) is brewing up to be one of the hottest rivalries in cricket. It all started with the ‘Nagin Dance’ celebration and has now come down to the ‘Time Out celebration’. Notably, veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews was given out against Bangladesh for coming late to the crease during the ODI World Cup. However, the matter didn’t end there. In the third T20I of the series, Bangladesh players mocked Mathews after his dismissal, while the Sri Lankan players replied by doing the same with the trophy during the presentation ceremony.

Sri Lanka won the T20I series with a result of 2-1. Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, and Wanindu Hasaranga were the top Sri Lankan side performers. Whereas, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed & Mahmudullah were quite good from Bangladesh.

Tanzid Hasan, Mishfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzim Hasan Shakib are added to the Bangladeshi squad. On the other hand, Pathum Nissanka, Dunith Wellalage, Chamika Karunaratne, Pramod Madushan and Lahiru Kumara are added to the Sri Lankan Squad.
