Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
Sri Lanka to score under 19.5 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 Avishka Fernando in the T20I series. Mendis has been a prominent figure in the 1st position but Fernando lacks the experience and has terrible statistics in the T20Is. The absence of Pathum Nissanka was evident in the 1st game as Sri Lanka scored 4 runs before their 1st dismissal in the 1st T20I of the series. Fernando scored 4 runs whereas Mendis went on to post 59 runs in the game. Fernando averages at 11.36 whereas that of Kusal Mendis reads at 23.86.
Match Prediction Best Odds
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 ten T20 international games played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. The team batting second has won nine of these games. The first match was a clear sign that chasing a stiff target wouldn’t be pretty difficult here, with the home team finishing just 3 short of their target. So, it is inevitable that the skipper who wins the toss is likely to opt to bowl first here.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
It was a close contest between the two in the 1st T20I of the series. Sri Lanka batted first and raised 206 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the game. Kusal Mendis scored 59 runs. However, it was Sadeera Samarawickrama (61*) and Charith Asalanka (44*) who prolonged the Sri Lankan innings at the end. It was a tough day for Bangladesh to have leaked too many runs. Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed picked a wicket each for Bangladesh. Bangladesh struggled a bit during the chase and in the end, were short by 3 runs to the victory. Mahmudullah scored 54 while Jakel Ali smashed 68 runs in the game. Dasun Shanaka, Binura Fernando and Angelo Matthews picked 2 wickets each in the game for Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka has a good squat and will be relying on their batters and bowlers to do the needful. Whereas Bangladesh has a big room to improve. Their squad roles are undefined but a better approach can do great things for the team.
