SL vs BAN Match Preview

After clinching the Test series 1-0, the hosts will look to clinch the one-day series when they face Bangladesh in the second match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Bowlers dominated the last match here, making batters work hard. Skipper Charith Asalanka led Sri Lanka's comeback after an early collapse, scoring a century at number five. Bangladesh weren't chasing a big total, and they got off to a good start with a 71-run partnership for the second wicket, taking their score from 29 for 1 to 100 for 2. However, an explosion of wickets from that point onwards ended their chase, and they were dismissed for 167 runs. Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads a solid team with depth in the batting order and range in the bowling attack.
