BAN vs SL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Asia Cup match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka?

Bangladesh is set to take on Sri Lanka in Match 5 of the Asia Cup 2022 Group B fixture at the Dubai International Stadium. Both sides suffered a loss at the hands of Afghanistan in their previous game and the winner of the game will automatically progress into the super four stage of the tournament. 

Bangladesh have quite a number of problems as their top order is looking unsettled while their fast bowling department looked toothless against Afghanistan. Mosaddek Hossein was the only one who impressed with the bat and the side will look up to their skipper to lead from the front. 

On the other hand, Sri Lanka looked out of socks in their first game despite having a lot of match winners in their lineup. Bhanuka Rajapaksa looked good in his stay at the crease while a lot more will be expected from the bowlers.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga was the only bowler to pick up a wicket in the previous game against Afghanistan and he is a match winner with the ball in hand.
