SL vs BAN Prediction: Match Details

Tournament: T20 World Cup 2024

Match: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh

Date: June 8, 2024

Time: 6:00 AM IST

Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas

SL vs BAN Match Preview

Sri Lanka aims to get back to winning form when they face their fierce rivals, Bangladesh. After a significant defeat in their opening game, Sri Lanka is under pressure to avoid an early exit from the tournament. In their first match, Sri Lanka was bowled out for just 77 runs by South Africa following a disappointing batting performance. Despite the low total, the bowlers put up a commendable fight but the team needs to excel in their upcoming game against Bangladesh to keep their chances alive.

Meanwhile, Najmul Shanto’s Bangladesh will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign aiming for a strong start. Although they faced a heavy defeat to India in their only warm-up match and have only one win in their last five T20I matches against Sri Lanka, they will be looking to turn their fortunes around.
