The star all-rounder from Bangladesh side, Shakib Al Hasan, is batting well, according to the information. The third number in the batting order has come to him and he has scored two half-centuries and century so far. They will expect the team to have a big inning again. Wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is also batting well but the opener of Soumya Sarkar and Tamim Iqbal has failed to give the requisite start.

With this, Bangladesh is worried about bowling as well. In the previous match, his bowlers had plundered 386 runs against England. Sri Lanka will also look forward to a comeback after suffering a ten-wicket defeat from New Zealand in the first match. The Dimuth Karunaratne-led side has breathed some relief by defeating Afghanistan but they had to share points with the cancellation of the match due to rain against Pakistan.
