SL vs BAN Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Sep 01, 2022
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have both lost their opening match of the Asia Cup 2022. That makes this next match a must-win for both teams. At stake is a place in the Super 4. The winner will go ahead and the loser will go home. Also, the history between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh is quite feisty with plenty of on-field action.
This is a mouth-watering clash in which the cricket betting sites have Sri Lanka as the favorite to win.

SL vs BAN Team Previews
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka was absolutely crushed by Afghanistan in the previous match but that is not an accurate representation of the improvement the team has made recently. The batting lineup is quite good with players like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Charitha Asalanka in the top order.
These are good players of spin and with two left-handers, they are well placed to counter the threat that Shakib Al Hasan will pose.
There is also a decent amount of depth in the batting with Shanaka, Karunaratne, and Hasaranga.
The bowling lineup for Sri Lanka is quite spin-heavy and that can be a problem if they bowl second. Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga are the two bowlers that we think match up well against the Bangladesh batters.
Sri Lanka Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Wanidu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Asitha Fernando.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh's T20 cricket is perhaps at its lowest point. Senior cricketers like Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mustafizur Rahman have been around for a long time but they look to be past their best now. The youngsters have not come through as expected and the style of cricket that Bangladesh plays is outdated.
It will take something drastic for Bangladesh to turn things around and we are not sure if they have the tools to do that in this contest.
A lot will depend on Shakib and Mushfiqur but Mohammad Naim is another batter that you should watch out for. Afif Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain, and Mahmudullah are the power-hitters of the group but we would not really bank on any one of them in this match.
Bangladesh's bowling is also quite weak as Sri Lanka's captain pointed out in his press conference. Take Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman out and you are struggling to find another quality bowler.
It is not as if Bangladesh cannot win this match but the odds being offered are not good enough to take a punt on them right now.
Bangladesh Playing 11
Sabbir Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain.
SL vs BAN Toss Prediction
The team that wins the toss will want to field first. That should be seen as being a huge advantage since the pitch seems to get a lot better while batting second.

Pitch and Conditions
The conditions in Dubai are going to be hot and demanding but there will be no interruptions in the game. As far as the pitch goes, we have seen the surface be a lot better for batting in the most recent match played here (India vs Hong Kong) and so the same can be expected for this match.
A score of around 160-170 should certainly be seen as par.

SL vs BAN Betting Tips
We are going to bet on Sri Lanka to win. We think it has the better batting lineup and its bowling is also quite decent. Bangladesh's dependence on Shakib Al Hasan with both bat and ball makes it quite vulnerable if he has a poor day.
Bet on Sri Lanka to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Sri Lanka's batting is better than what we saw in the previous match and will certainly target the Bangladesh bowling. A run rate of just over 6.5 is needed to help you win this bet and we can see that being achieved quite easily.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa played brilliantly in the previous match, the only Sri Lankan batter that seemed to be in good form, and is excellent against spin. Plus, the fact that he is a left-hander makes him very effective to coutner Shakib or Mustafizur. We like the Over/Under line being offered right now and will take a punt.
