SL vs BAN 2nd ODI Expert Advice

Hosts Sri Lanka will once again start out as favourites to defeat Bangladesh and take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Sri Lanka will be banking on their spinners, Wanindu Hasaranga and part-timer Kamindu Mendis to skittle out the Bangladeshis.

For Bangladesh, it is imperative for middle-order batters to provide assistance to in-form players like Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali. The Bangladeshi batting line-up needs to be extra cautious of Sri Lankan spinners in a bid to enforce a series decider.
