T20i

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will meet in the 1st T20I of the Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh 2024. The game will be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on March 4. The match will begin at 5:30 PM IST. Let us have a look at the match preview of the upcoming clash.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning

Sri Lanka is visiting Bangladesh for test matches, one-day internationals, and T20I games.

Bangladesh are coming from playing a multi-format series against New Zealand. The T20I series was drawn at 1-1. This will be an interesting series as home team Bangladesh has certainly levelled up in the last 4-5 years and now the team possess some of the finest T20 talent in the country.

Sri Lanka are coming from a T20I series win against Afghanistan by 2-1. Sri Lanka certainly has the upper-hand in the head to head T20 record in Bangladesh but this time they will face a totally different squad. Bangladesh will be coming off from a fiery BPL season and the players will be pumped to play international T20 cricket after that.

Sri Lanka's chance of winning: 63%

Bangladesh' chance of winning: 37%

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips

Sri Lanka to score over 18.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.85 @ Parimatch)

Bangladesh never had much success in the T20Is as compared to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka are coming from a 2-1 win against Afghanistan in a T20I series. The opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis played fantastic opening partnerships of 7, 45 & 64 runs in the three games of the series. Coming into the T20I series, Kusal Mendis took the opening position alongside Nissanka in the T20I series. Nissanka and Mendis average at 27.97 & 23.27 respectively in the 20 over format. That said, Sri Lanka will continue to post high scores for the opening partnership in the final game of the series.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Toss Prediction

It is likely that the surface on offer at the Sylhet International Stadium in Sylhet will offer help to the bowlers. But all in all, as this is just a T20I game, the wicket might hold for the entire match. So, there is a bit of opportunity for everyone from this track. We have had nine T20 international games played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. The team batting second has won eight of these games. So, it is inevitable that the skipper who wins the toss is likely to opt to bowl first here.

Weather Report

You can expect clear skies for this contest. The temperatures for the game will be around 26 degrees, and the relative humidity will be on the lower side with dry conditions. There is no chance of getting rain interruptions during this contest.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Top Batters

Litton Das to be the top batter for Bangladesh

Litton Das has scored 1711 runs in 74 T20I matches at an impressive strike rate of 130.41. He has played 59 runs so far in 3 matches at a strike rate of 155.26. He was little out of form in the BPL but we expect him to score many runs in the upcoming game.

Sadeera Samarawickrama to be the top batter for Sri Lanka

Sadeera Samarawickrama is a terrific batter from Sri Lanka. He has scored 235 runs in 14 T20Is. However, his form took a hit in the recent series against Afghanistan where he scored 25, 51 & 23 runs in the three games. He will be expected to bat well in the first game of the series.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Top Bowlers

Mustafizur Rahman to be the top bowler for Bangladesh

Mustafizur has picked 105 wickets in 88 T20I matches out of which 12 wickets in 9 matches have come against Sri Lanka. He will lead the pace attack for Bangladesh in the current series. He will be responsible for keeping Sri Lankan batters at check.

Matheesha Pathirana to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka

Matheesha Pathirana was the best bowler in the T20I series against Afghanistan. He picked 8 wickets in 3 games. He will be the best bowling pick from Sri Lanka in the upcoming series.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sri Lanka

Bangladesh has never won a T20I series against Sri Lanka and they have played four T20I series so far out of which Sri Lanka won thrice and one series was drawn. A total of 13 games have been played between the sides where Sri Lanka leads the tally by 9-4. The Bangladesh cricket team has a good record in almost all formats of cricket. You can expect them to put up a good fight against the Sri Lankans. But we feel the Lankans have a more experienced and capable set of players for this game.

Sri Lanka to win the match @ 1.59 (Parimatch)
