The Asia Cup 2023 has shifted to Colombo after the conclusion of matches in Lahore, Multan, and Pallekele. In the upcoming Super 4s match, Sri Lanka will face off against Bangladesh at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium on September 9, 2023, at 3:00 PM IST. It's worth noting that all remaining five Super 4s games and the Final will also be held in Colombo.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are set to play a highly anticipated match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Saturday (Sep 09) at 3:00 PM IST. However, the focus is on the weather forecast for the SL vs BAN game, which appears unfavorable for most duration of the match. It's worth noting that the weather conditions could be a setback for both teams.
During the Asia Cup 2023, Sri Lanka has won both of their matches so far. The victories were hard-earned, and the team faced moments of struggle and uncertainty. In the Group Stages, Sri Lanka had a challenging win against Afghanistan, which was a must-win game for both teams. The victory was secured with just a 2-run lead, as Afghanistan made crucial errors in their calculations during the thrilling run-chase.
During the cricket tournament, Bangladesh faced a setback when Najmul Shanto had to withdraw from the competition due to a hamstring injury. It's worth noting that Shanto had delivered a century against Afghanistan and a crucial 89-run inning to salvage a draw against Sri Lanka during the group stage. The team's top scorer will surely be missed in the upcoming matches.
During the only Super 4 match played so far between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Lahore, the absence of their key player, Shanto, was strongly felt by the team, leading to struggles. It is worth noting that the batting performance of Bangladesh has been a cause for concern, with only a select few players showing consistency. The overall batting display of the team has been disappointing.
Head-to-Head Record:
Sri Lanka holds a clear edge over Bangladesh in the ODI format. Out of the 52 games played, Sri Lanka won 41 while Bangladesh won just 9 games. The remaining 2 games ended with No Result!
Who holds the edge in this Super 4 match?
Both these teams are competitive enough and the recent 'Nagin dance' row between them has taken their rivalry to the next level. However, Sri Lanka will hold a slight advantage in this match as they are playing at home while Bangladesh are already missing their key players Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto.
