Sri Lanka (SL) and Bangladesh (BAN) cricket teams will collide in the second T20I of their three-match series at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla. The action is slated to commence from 7:00 PM IST onwards on Sunday, July 13. Sri Lanka won the series opener in Pallekele a couple of days ago to go 1-0 up in the series.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka won the first T20I of the series by seven wickets and with an over to spare. Under the leadership of Charith Asalanka, Sri Lanka also outclassed New Zealand by seven runs earlier this year in Nelson. However, the Sri Lankan cricket team lost the preceding two T20Is of the same tour to the ‘Black Caps’ to lose the series 1-2.

Bangladesh

The Bangladesh cricket team is currently on a six-match losing streak in T20Is. Bangladesh’s unfortunate run began with two humiliating defeats to the UAE in Sharjah a couple of months ago. Under the leadership of Litton Das, the Bangladeshis were also blanked 0-3 by Pakistan in Lahore in late-May and in early June. Trailing 0-1 against Sri Lanka, it is imperative for Bangladesh to win the impending second T20I to enforce a decider.

How Will The Rangiri Stadium, Dambulla Pitch Behave?

While the conditions at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla are ideally considered to be favorable for batting in men’s T20Is, the last two matches played here have turned out to be low-scoring affairs. Nonetheless, the average first innings total at the venue in all the eight men’s T20Is so far has amounted to 163. Spinners and fast bowlers both seem to be taking charge of the proceedings here off late, especially during the middle overs of the innings.

Players To Watch Out For In SL vs BAN 2nd T20I

Sri Lanka

Pathum Nissanka

Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka went ballistic with his 16-ball 42 against Bangladesh in the first T20I of the series. The cricketer has also tallied 384 runs in his last 10 matches for Sri Lanka.

Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis compiled a match-winning 73 from just 51 balls for Sri Lanka in the first T20I against Bangladesh. A veteran of 79 T20I matches, Mendis has scored nearly 2,000 runs in his career at a staggering strike rate of 132.07.

Wanindu Hasaranga

After getting excluded from the playing XI, Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will likely make his return to the team for the second T20I. In his last nine matches alone, the cricketer has picked up 19 wickets. Hasaranga is also capable of unleashing some huge hits with the bat during the slog overs.

Bangladesh

Parvez Hossain Emon

Bangladesh opener Parvez Hossain Emon top-scored for his team in the first T20I with a fiery 38 off just 22 balls. The attacking left-hander has overall composed 255 runs for Bangladesh in his last seven matches at a strike rate of 177.08.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz conceded just 24 runs off his four overs, and picked up the wicket of a raging Pathum Nissanka in the first T20I. The seasoned Bangladesh all-rounder can also score quick runs with the bat.

Rishad Hossain

Rishad Hossain has collected 12 wickets in his last nine T20I matches for Bangladesh at a bowling strike rate of 17. Rishad even delivered a tight spell in the series-opening first T20I.
