For a long time Sri Lanka has had players in one department doing well while the other drags them back. They seem like they are on the way to fix the issue though. Bowling has been good with their names doing well while the batting too is starting to stand up.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Players to Watch

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan is one of the standout players in the line-up now stepping up in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan.

Dasun Shanaka

Dasun Shanaka came back into the mix after a spell out. He has the power game and has also bowled some good bouncers in the first T20I. Can he maintain it though? If he does that will for certain keep him in with a chance of staying in the mix for the T20 World Cup next year.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Tips

Sri Lanka at home are favorites and come in with a lot of ambition.
