Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka prediction

Bangladesh have already played once so far in the Asia Cup, beating Hong Kong by seven wickets after chasing down 144 with 14 balls remaining. Whilst the result perhaps wasn’t as straightforward as the Tigers would’ve hoped and their bowling attack in particular will need to show more potency going forward, a win is a win.

Sri Lanka are playing their first T20 cricket since beating Zimbabwe earlier this month and winning that three-match series by two games to one. But it may take time for them to adjust to conditions out in Abu Dhabi, which perhaps tips things slightly in Bangladesh’s favour. With that in mind, consider backing Litton Das’ side.
