BAN vs SL LIVE Score: In the upcoming match of the Asia Cup 2023, scheduled for August 31st (Thursday), Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from group B will face off at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. This match marks the tournament opener for both teams, and they will be eager to kick-start their campaign with a victory.
Bangladesh’s historical performance against Sri Lanka in ODIs, particularly in the Asia Cup, has been less than stellar. Having secured only two wins against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, the Bangladesh team is well aware of their past struggles. Despite facing some injuries, Sri Lanka will have the advantage of playing on their home turf. Both teams are determined to begin the tournament on a positive note, suggesting a closely contested match ahead.
Shakib al Hasan aims to overcome Bangladesh’s poor record and begin the tournament positively. As the team’s most seasoned player, he’ll lead by example. Exploiting their opponents’ injury issues is a key focus for Bangladesh’s captain. The team relies on strong batting performances from Mohammad Naim and Litton Das, while Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy add middle-order stability.
Contributions from Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz bolster the lineup. The opening duo of Hasan Mahmud and Mustafizur Rahman must excel with the new ball against Sri Lanka’s aggressive batters. Experienced bowlers Shakib and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be aiming to control the game, with support from Ebadot Hossain and Shoriful Islam.
Despite injuries, Sri Lanka, led by Dasun Shanaka, enjoys home advantage and a positive history against Bangladesh. They seek inspiration from past victories. A strong opening by Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne is vital, followed by middle-order partnerships led by Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and Charith Asalanka.
Quick runs from Shanaka and Dhananjaya de Silva are crucial in the lower order. Kasun Rajitha and Dunith Wellalage need precise new-ball bowling. Absence of Wanindu Hasaranga is a setback; Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana must perform in the middle overs. Dhananjaya de Silva and Shanaka’s roles are important in support.
