Battling the horrific Delhi pollution in the build-up to their next ICC World Cup 2023 face-off, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka enter the historic Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday (November 6) for a must-win league stage clash.
Even as their knock-outs contention has vanished following a spree of disastrous results, both the stumbling and struggling Asian rivals have much to play still with the Champions Trophy 2025 context in mind.
Placed in the bottom half of the points table, the Lankan Lions and the Bangla Tigers require victories in their remaining World Cup matches to avoid an embarrassing ouster from the next 50-over ICC tournament in Pakistan.
With only the top 7 teams at the ongoing World Cup plus the hosts qualifying for the eight-team tournament, Bangladesh, placed ninth, and Sri Lanka, who are one spot above, need to overcome the Delhi clash to make sure they don't slip down to the bottom two slots by the conclusion of the league stage.
Arun Jaitley Stadium Ground Stats
Bangladesh are heading up north of India after enduring two successive hammerings in the east in Kolkata at the hands of Netherlands and Pakistan. The loss to the Pakistanis drowned them in further sombre of a disastrous campaign, featuring a solitary triumph and six defeats.
For the Lankan Lions, the journey from Maharashtra to the Feroz Shah Kotla ground would've felt equally painstaking after losing consecutive matches to Afghanistan and India. They now stand 2-5 in a horror campaign featuring heaps of inconsistency and injuries.
Of the 30 previous ODIs played in Delhi, teams batting first have clinched victory on 15 occasions with the side chasing coming out triumphant on 14 of the remaining instances. It has been a high-scoring venue at the ongoing World Cup, the track playing extensively true and flat for all the games.
