Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Match Live Preview, Pitch Report, Probable XI, Match Details, Key Players & More (Asia Cup 23)
The second match of the Asia Cup 2023 will see Bangladesh take on Sri Lanka. This exciting Group B fixture will take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Thursday, August 31.
Bangladesh's last global task came in July when they confronted Afghanistan in a multi-design series. From that point forward, they haven't played any games. All things considered, their players have partaken in different establishment associations across the world.
Bangladesh have assembled a strong crew for the competition. Encountered all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been given the obligation of driving the group in the Asia Cup and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Any semblance of Shakib, Mushfiqur Rahim, Taskin Ahmed, and Mustafizur Rahman have a lot of involvement added to their repertoire and it will prove to be useful in the Asia Cup.
Sri Lanka, in the interim, have been hit by wounds. Many of their players will be feeling the loss of the competition, with the outstanding truant being Wanindu Hasaranga. The leg-turning all-rounder got a physical issue in the as of late closed Lanka Head Association.
Dasun Shanaka will keep on driving the Lankan side and he will trust that they move forward before their home group and get off to a triumphant beginning. They have a drained bowling assault and they should fire as one to challenge different groups.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Pallekele Worldwide Cricket Arena is on the more slow side. Run scoring will not be simple for the hitters, who should invest some energy in the center before they can begin playing their strokes uninhibitedly.
Climate projection
Not the best circumstances for a round of cricket. There is weighty downpour anticipated in Pallekele on Thursday, with the temperature expected to be during the 20s.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mohammad Naim, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Shoriful Islam
