Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning
Sri Lanka showcased their ability in the shortest format by sealing the first game of the three-match series by a narrow margin of three wickets. Bangladesh came roaring back in the second T20I to win by a comprehensive eight wickets to level proceedings. However, a quick 86 runs by Kusal Mendis and a fifer, that included a hattrick, by Nuwan Thushara sealed the series for the island nation.
In the ODI opener though, it was the hosts who came out of the blocks firing. Sri Lanka managed to get to 197/5 in the 37th over before Bangladesh took complete control of the game. The pacers wreaked havoc in the last ten overs to restrict the visitors to a sub-par score of 255. In response, Sri Lanka got a foothold in the game with early wickets Dilshan Madushanka to restrict Bangladesh to just 23/3 in 5.1 overs. Once Mahmudullah was dismissed for a run a ball 37 and the scoreboard reading 92/4, the Sri Lankans would have smelled blood but Najmul Hossain Shanto (122*) and Mushfiqur Rahim (73*) ensured a victory for the hosts.
Considering the form Bangladesh are in and their dominance at home, it is hard to pick against them for the second ODI as well.
Sri Lanka's chance of winning: 45%
Bangladesh' chance of winning: 55%

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
Sri Lanka to have a higher opening partnership (1.75 @ Parimatch)
You only need one reason to punt on this one - Dilshan Madushanka. The Sri Lankan pacer just might be the best opening bowler in world cricket. He takes wickets for fun in the powerplay and if his World Cup exploits are not enough, a glance at what he did on the same surface a couple of days ago should do the trick. He dismissed Litton Das on the very first ball of the innings before accounting for his partner in the very next over. In comparison, Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando are far more consistent when it comes to the powerplay. A price of 1.75 is too good to be true and a punt on this is a no brainer.
