Team News:
Sri Lanka:
In the very first match of the season, Sri Lanka batters failed pathetically as they got bundled on a score of just 105 against Afghanistan. Only all-rounder Karunaratne batted somehow better than the others. The poor batting performance costs them the game and now they have a must-win situation here against the Bangladesh side.
Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka will be looking to turn things around their side on this game and is expected to make some changes in the playing xi. What changes will they make? Well, we have a probable playing xi for you below.

Bangladesh:
On the other hand, the Tigers also need a victory here to confirm their participation in the super 4. The same thing happened with Bangladesh. Meanwhile, just like Sei Lanka, the Bangladesh side gradually failed to put up a good total on the board and that costs them the game. Some changes in the playing xi are also what we can expect from the Bangladesh side. It will be an interesting contest with a do-or-die situation here between these two Asian giants.
