Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
Sri Lanka to score under 19.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.85 @ Parimatch)
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 against Afghanistan before entering this series. Coming into this 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. Nissanka’s absence is pretty evident as the opening partnerships lasted for 4 & 1 runs in the two games. Avishka Fernando struck out the earliest in both the games. Fernando averages at 11.00 whereas that of Kusal Mendis reads at 24.06.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Toss Prediction
This pitch is on the slower side, and the spinners will love their time out there in the middle. The pitch gets slow as the match goes on, and the low bounce on this track will make the job even tough for stroke playing. The team batting second here has had more success. Bowling first will be ideal and anything over 190 runs will be a good score on the surface.
