BAN vs SL Match Prediction - May 23, 2022

The second test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is going to be played at Mirpur. This has been a venue where exciting, result-oriented cricket has been played in the past.

Both teams have some injury issues going into this match. We can expect some changes to the viewing lineups because of injuries and also because of the expectation that the pitch is going to take a lot of turn.

From a betting point of view, you should look for bets that favor the spinners, bets against the batters in most cases, and look for hedging opportunities as the scales can shift quickly.

BAN vs SL Team Previews

Bangladesh

Bangladesh will not have the services of Nayeem Hasan and Shoriful Islam available to them in this match after they picked up injuries.

That is not a huge concern for them as they still have some good skin options available. We expect Taijul Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mosaddek Hossain to do the bulk of the work.

You can look at Taijul Islam for the top wicket-taker Bangladesh betting market.

Among the batters, we are going to avoid betting on them as the pitch can crumble quickly making run-scoring a bit of a lottery.

Bangladesh has lost its previous two matches here and has also been troubled by quality spin in recent matches. It is not going to be easy for the batters to score freely and that will put pressure on them for sure.

Bangladesh Playing 11

Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mosaddek Hossain, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Taijul Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed.


Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka looks like a pretty attractive bet heading into this match. Not only are the odds quite good but we also think the stars are aligning nicely for the islanders.

Don't worry about the fact that Embuldeniya and Mendis liked a bit out of sorts in the previous match. That was a flat pitch where they had nothing to work with. This time, they will have a lot more assistance and we think they are going to be a handful.

A bet on either (or even both of them) to be the man of the match could be a great pick.

Sri Lanka came into the series with a few question marks about its batting and that is where Angelo Mathews's form in the previous match has solved some big problems.

He is a huge presence in the middle and also fantastic against the spin. A bet on him to try and capitalize on the good form he seems to be in is a good idea as well. There is also enough other batting talent in Sri Lanka that they should be able to cope on a potentially difficult track.

Sri Lanka Playing 11

Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Angelo Mathews, Dimuth Karunaratne, Dinesh Chandimal, Oshada Fernando, Dhananjaya de Silva, Ramesh Mendis, Asitha Fernando, Praveen Jayawickrama, Kasun Rajitha.

BAN vs SL Toss Prediction

The toss is going to be very crucial. The pitch will be at its best to bat on in the first inning and will then deteriorate rapidly. Winning the toss is going to be a huge advantage and should be seen as such.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Mirpur are a bit gloomy. There is some rain predicted for the first couple of days of the test after which they should settle down and become better. However, this is a venue where no draw has been played out since 2015. A bit of time taken out because of the rain should not change that.

Expect sharp turn and indifferent bounce as the match goes on.

BAN vs SL Betting Tips

We are going to bet on Sri Lanka to win this match. They have won their previous four series in Bangladesh. They also seem to like the 1-0 scoreline and have won the previous two series in Bangladesh by that margin. We think Sri Lanka’s spin bowling is capable of picking up 20 wickets in this match and its batting is capable of getting the runs needed.

Bet on Sri Lanka to win.
