SL vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report, H2H Records, Fantasy Picks | Asia Cup 2023

Sri Lanka (SL) will face Bangladesh (BAN) in the second Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo. Sri Lanka has played two league games and won both, putting them at the summit of Group A's standings. Bangladesh, on the other hand, played a Super Four match against Pakistan, which they lost. 

In the previous match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka's opening partnership of 63 runs was impressive. It was followed by several other successful partnerships.

There was a mini-collapse in the middle, but the lower order did a fantastic job as they scored an impressive 291 runs. Afghanistan's openers were lost cheaply, but their middle order was outstanding and propelled them into the lead. However, they consistently lost wickets, which ultimately cost them as they fell short of the target by only two runs and were struck out.

In Bangladesh's most recent match against Pakistan, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl. Bangladesh was unable to capitalize on the favorable batting surface, as their top order fell quickly. Not until the fifth wicket did they form a respectable partnership.

Shakib and Rahim contributed to the team's 193-run total with a pair of impressive innings each. In pursuit of such a total, Pakistan faced little resistance from offenders. They easily won the match by seven wickets with more than ten overs remaining.
