Bangladesh will head into the Test match on back of a stunning ODI series win over Sri Lanka. Bangladesh have been dealt with a big blow as veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim has been ruled out of the game. Towhid Hridoy has replaced him in the squad. Also, Litton 🍷Das, who was dr꧒opped from the ODI squad, makes a return.
Najmul Hosꦛsain Shanto, Litton Das and Zakir Hasan can be backed to do well. Shanto has been a thorn in the flesh for Sri Lanka and scored a hundred in the ODI series. Das also has a big statement to make after being dropped from the ODI squad. Hasan is technically very sound and capable to play a big innings.
The bowling will rest on Taijul Islam and Mahidy Hasan Miraz. The two spinners will enjoy the conditions and will be a threat to Sri Lanka. Also, Shoriful Islam has been in great wicket-tℱaking form and will be the pac🦂er to watch out for.
Bangladesh played New Zealand in a two match Test series at home where tꩲhey won one games and lost the other.
Zaki🌜r Hasan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan, Nayeem Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed.
Sri Lanka will be keen ꧋to take revenge of the ODI series defeat in the Test series. The team has been dealt with a big blow as ace spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled ou🦂t of the Test series after getting suspended by the ICC.
Dimuth Karunaratne, Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Matthews will be the main batters to watch out for. The three batters are tꦐhe best Sri Lanka have. They have been in good form as well. Karunaratne scored 77 in the last Test𝕴 against Afghanistan while Matthews and Chandimal scored centuries.
The bowling will rest on Kasun Rajitha, Prabath Jayasuriya and Lahiru Kumara. The conditions will be overcast on first two days and pacers Kumara and Rajitha can get the ball to move both ways. Also, Jayasuriꦦya is the team’s lead spinner.
Sri Lanka’s last Test was against Afghanista꧅n at home where they registered a comprehensive win.
Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews,⛎ Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Kamindu Mendis, Kasun Rajitha, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Ramesh Mendis.
Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in the ODI series but the Test format is a different ball game altogether. It won’t be easy for Bangladesh to bowl out Sri Lanka for low scores twice in two innings. Sri Lanka, however, can exploit the lack of experience in the Bangladesh team. Back Sri Lanka to w꧋in.
