Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Chance of Winning
Sri Lanka finished the group stage on top with two wins over Bangladesh and Afghanistan. In the last match against Afghanistan, Sri Lanka were on the verge of defeat but a tactical error from Afghanistan and the bowling brilliance of Dhananjaya de Silva helped Sri Lanka finish the group stage on top. The game is expected to be interrupted by rain and the conditions are going to be overcast. Expect Sri Lanka to bring in an additional seamer in the lineup.
Bangladesh lost the first match in the tournament against Sri Lanka, then bounced back with a dominant win over Afghanistan but lost the momentum against Pakistan in the first match of the super four stage. Bangladesh are coming off a loss against Pakistan by seven wickets. Mustafizur Rahman might feature in the playing 11 against Sri Lanka. It is a must win game for Bangladesh to stay alive in the tournament. A loss here will result in them being eliminated from the tournament.
The rivalry between both teams has heated up in the last few years and expect a blockbuster of a match if rain doesn't spoilsport in a crucial super four matchup on Saturday. Sri Lanka enters the contest as favourites after a dominant performance in the group stages.
- Sri Lanka chance of winning: 63%
- Bangladesh chance of winning: 37%

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Betting Odds
Sri Lanka to score over 49.5 runs in the first 10 overs @ 1.74 (Parimatch)
Sri Lanka on average scored 53 runs in the first 10 overs in the group stage. Both the Lankan openers are in good form and it should not be a tough task for the top order to score over 49 runs in the first 10 overs. Considering the form of Sri Lankan opening pair and the conditions, we back Sri Lanka to score over 49.5 runs in the first 10 overs.
Bangladesh to score under 44.5 runs in the first 10 overs @ 1.74 (Parimatch)
Bangladesh on average scored 48 runs in the first 10 overs, but they struggled to score runs against Sri Lanka in the powerplay overs. In the first match of the tournament Bangladesh scored 34 runs in the powerplay overs and we predict Sri Lanka bowlers to come and restrict Bangladesh's scoring rate in the first 10 overs.
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Top Batters
Charith Asalanka to be the top batter for Sri Lanka
Charith Aslanka has been the stand out performer for Sri Lanka in the tournament so far, he has amassed 98 runs in two matches at an average of 98.00. Aslanka has had a good run in One day cricket for the past few months and we back him to come good in the match against Bangladesh.
Shakib Al Hasan to be the top batter for Bangladesh
Shakib Al Hasan scored a valiant fifty on a losing cause in the last match against Pakistan. He looked in good touch and had no trouble in playing both the seamers and spinners. He has amassed 90 runs in three matches at an average of 45.00. We predict Shakib Al Hasan to be the top batter for Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Top Bowlers
Maheesh Theekshana to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka
Mahessh Theekshana has been amazing with the new ball in the powerplay overs and has produced magical deliveries to pick up wickets in both the matches he played. He has picked up three wickets in two matches and is the one of the best bowlers to bet on to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka.
Taskin Ahmed to be the top bowler for Bangladesh
Taskin Ahmed has picked up six wickets in three matches at an average of 18.33. He has been the stand out performer with the ball in the tournament for Bangladesh. We believe Taskin to continue his good run of form and be the top bowler for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Sri Lanka
The odds in favour of Sri Lanka to win the match are 1.51, while in favour of Bangladesh to win the match are 2.56. Sri Lanka as a team has been dominant in both the batting and bowling departments in the group stage. They defeated Bangladesh in the first match of the tournament and we predict Sri Lanka to win the match and make it two out of two against the Bangla Tigers in the Asia Cup 2023.
- Sri Lanka to win the match @ 1.51 (Parimatch)
- Bangladesh to win the match @ 2.56 (Parimatch)
