Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
Sri Lanka to score under 30.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.85 @ Parimatch)
Sri Lanka has posted the scores of 71, 1 and 1 run before their 1st dismissal in the three ODIs. Coming into the Test series, the squad will make changes with their openers. Sri Lanka played against Pakistan and Afghanistan before coming into this series. Against Pakistan, they scored 6 & 9 runs before their 1st dismissal in the first innings. They played a single Test against Afghanistan where the openers secured 93 runs before their 1st dismissal. Nishan Madushka and Dimuth Karunaratne opened for the team in those Tests. They average at 49.33 & 41.34 respectively in the format. They have good batting numbers but have been inconsistent in the Tests lately. Bangladesh have been pretty lethal with the ball and will be looking to pick an early wicket in the upcoming Test.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
Bangladesh has unveiled their 15-member squad led by Najmul Hossain Shanto ahead of the impending Test series. Notably, wicketkeeper-batsman Litton Das makes a return to the Test setup following his absence during the New Zealand series due to paternity leave. Exciting prospects Nahid Rana and Mushfik Hasan receive their maiden national team call-ups, injecting fresh talent into the squad. However, the absence of seasoned campaigner Mushfiqur Rahim, sidelined due to a fractured thumb, poses a challenge for the hosts.
In a twist, star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga initially ended his Test retirement and was included in the squad. However, his hopes were dashed when the ICC imposed a two-match ban for breaching article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct, rendering him ineligible for the series. Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan touring side has strengthened their Test squad by recalling pacer Lahiru Kumara and introducing uncapped off-spinner Nishan Peiris, adding depth to their bowling arsenal.
