SL vs BAN Preview

Sri Lanka began their journey in the competition with a solid win over Bangladesh. However, Afghanistan gave them a run for their money in the second game but the Lankan Lions managed to hold their nerve to register a 2-run victory. Now, they will have to improve massively if they want to have a go at the final.

On the other hand, Bangladesh were outplayed by Pakistan by 7 wickets in their last Super Four fixture. Now, it has turned into a do-or-die game for them as a loss here will see them crashing out of the competition. Shakib Al Hasan & co. will be eager to bounce back and stay alive in the competition with a win here.
