Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips

Bangladesh to score under 23.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.85 @ Parimatch)

Bangladesh have struggled with their opening partnership in the international stage. The openers could never maintain consistency in the format. In their last ODI series against New Zealand, Anamul Haque and Soumya Sarkar opened for the side and registered 1, 11 & 15*(retired hurt) before their first dismissal. Not too confident with their opening duo, Bangladesh started with Sarkar and Litton Das in the T20I series. The duo scored 0, 68 & 13 runs before their first dismissal. Litton Das will like his chances in the middle order of the ODI games. Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque and Litton Das average at 33.46, 29.77 & 32.03 respectively in the format. However, Sri Lanka look pretty strong with their bowling order too. They have plenty of options amongst the bowlers. That said, Bangladesh will have a tough inning coming up ahead and will very likely lose an early wicket into the game.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Toss Prediction

The pitches at the venue have assisted both batters and bowlers, especially the slower bowlers, like most wickets in Bangladesh. The last few matches, however, have been a mixed bag as a few matches saw a team register over 300 runs, while the remaining have seen teams struggle to get past 250. The average score batting first at the venue is 224 and batting second or chasing is 190. Skippers winning the toss would favour their chances batting first here.

Weather Report

You can expect clear skies for this contest. With a maximum temperature of 32.0°C, there is no chance of rain during the matches.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds

Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh in the third and final T20 to take the series 2-1. at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Kusal Mendis earlier top scored with 86 in the first innings. Nuwan Thushara was strong with the ball and picked 5 wickets in the game.

Bangladesh looked decent in the 20 over game but bowling in the ODI will certainly bring a challenge for them. Bangladesh looked pretty fragile with their batting order in the last few games but will look to do better in the ODI series.

Sri Lanka had help from reinforcements to seal the T20I series in their favour. They have world-class batters and tricky spinners in their squad. The team is coming along well in fast bowling as well. Nuwan Thushara pulled the game in Sri Lanka’s favour with his fast deliveries. That said, Sri Lanka has a good chance to widen the gap between them and the hosts.
