Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka enter the final and tie-breaking One Day International on March 18, 2024. Scheduled to meet at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, as part of Sri Lanka’s tour of Bangladesh, the match will commence at 9:30 A.M IST.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Chances of Winning

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are next-and-neck at the moment with one win each. Sri Lanka lost the first match after they set up a total of 255 runs which they found themselves unable to defend. Bangladesh’s victory relied heavily on the performance of skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto who scored a remarkable ton. Sri Lanka’s bowling attack was not equipped to hold them off which led to a six-wicket defeat for the island nation.

Sri Lanka were better prepared in the second match of the series. They allowed Bangladesh to score 286 runs but this time, Pathum Nissanka’s 114-run knock helped Sri Lanka a great deal in chasing down the target. Charith Asalanka also contributed 91 runs which saw them complete their chase in 47 overs and emerge victorious by three wickets.

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were on a similar path during the T20 series where Sri Lanka edged out a three-run victory in the first match. The hosts won the second match by a substantial eight-wicket margin and put pressure on the visitors ahead of the final. However, Sri Lanka came out on top in the tie-breaker match after limiting their opposition and dismissing them in the final over, winning by 28 runs.

  • Bangladesh chance of winning - 41%

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips

Bangladesh to score under 23.5 runs before first dismissal @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar’s left-hand right-hand combination has not paid off at all in the series so far given that the former’s wicket was taken in the first over on both occasions. Should he be retained as the opener for the upcoming game as well, Bangladesh’s first wicket might be in trouble again based on the form he has displayed in the series. The T20I series with him as the opener saw Bangladesh secure first wicket stands of 13, 68 and 0 runs. With the exception of a single innings, the team has struggled to achieve decent opening partnerships. They are predicted to score low before their first dismissal.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds

Sri Lanka to have a better opening partnership than Bangladesh @ 1.71 (Parimatch)

The last time around both sides openers’ ended their partnerships with dismal showings - Sri Lanka’s opening duo scored a single run while Bangladesh’s openers failed to establish a partnership at all. Sri Lanka, however, performed rather well in the first ODI where Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando put up an opening stand of 71 runs while Bangladesh’s opening stand was brought to an end before a single run was scored. Sri Lanka are, naturally, expected to outdo Bangladesh in terms of first wicket partnership in the next match, too.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Best Batters

Najmul Hossain Shantoto be Bangladesh’s Best Batter

Najmul Hossain Shanto was almost single-handedly responsible for the team’s victory in the first match with a sensational knock of 122 runs. In the second game he was dismissed for 40 runs but the skipper remains the top choice for the upcoming game.

Pathum Nissanka to be Sri Lanka’s Best Batter

Pathum Nissanka was absolutely phenomenal last time out as he scored 114 runs. He was quite instrumental in their victory after he found himself dismissed for 36 runs in the first match of the tour. He is the top pick to emerge as the team’s standout batter.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Best Bowlers

Taskin Ahmed to be Bangladesh’s Best Bowler

Taskin Ahmed was tied as the team’s leading bowler in the last game, having captured two wickets in nine overs. His spell in the first match was also quite commendable as he claimed three wickets in ten overs. His consistency makes him a dependable player to bet on.

Wanindu Hasaranga to be Sri Lanka’s Best Bowler

Wanindu Hasaranga came home empty-handed after the first match of the tour but found his footing in the previous game where he boasted a four-wicket haul. Having led the bowling attack once, he will be expected to do so again in the next match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh seem quite evenly matched across all the formats as they have shown a tendency to alternate between victories. The T20 series was quite a success for Sri Lanka as they won the first match and the deciding fixture. In the current series, Bangladesh have proven to be competitive but after their loss to Sri Lanka in the previous outing, it seems unlikely that they will bounce back and beat their adversaries.
  • Bangladesh to win @ 2.17 (Parimatch)
  • Sri Lanka to win @ 1.69 (Parimatch)
