Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh prediction

Sri Lanka gave themselves a big boost with a comprehensive innings victory against Bangladesh in the second of two Tests between the two nations, meaning they took the series 1-0 following a draw in the first game. Now the sides most onto 50-over competition in Colombo and this Sri Lankan side will be confident of further success.

Bangladesh are a transitional unit right now when it comes to white ball and especially ODI cricket with a new captain in charge here. Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads a team weakened by the retirements of both Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim. Sri Lanka are further ahead as a side in this format of the game and that should be reflected in the result here, so back a home victory.
