BAN vs SL Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of Asia Cup, 2023 For Match 2

BAN vs SL: Sri Lanka will lock horns against Bangladesh in Match 2 of the Asia Cup, 2023 on Thursday, August 31, 2023, at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele.

Bangladesh got hit hard before the 2023 Asia Cup – key player Liton Das and pacer Ebadot Hossain are out due to injuries. But there is still firepower with them. Shakib Al Hasan leads the team, so they could put up a strong fight against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh’s batting hopes rest on Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Afif Hossain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, and the maestro Shakib Al Hasan. Meanwhile, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mustafizur Rehman, and Taskin Ahmed are poised to make a real impact with the ball.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka is co-hosting the Asia Cup 2023 alongside Pakistan. Now, when it comes to playing at home, Sri Lanka has a pretty solid reputation. So, once again, they are heading into this match as the ones everyone’s got their money on.

Sri Lanka is in the same boat as Bangladesh as they have also got their share of injury drama. Their top all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, speedster Dushmantha Chameera, and Lahiru Kumara are all out for the whole tournament. While their batting remains unaffected, the big question is how their greenhorn bowlers will hold up. Summing it all up, we are in for an exhilarating 50-over battle in the 2023 Asia Cup.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 2 of the Asia Cup, 2023.
