Bangladesh Playing 11 vs Sri Lanka- 2nd Test, Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka 2025:
Openers: Anamul Haque, Shadman Islam
Bangladesh will be elated by the way their batters performed in both innings of the opening Test against Sri Lanka.
The batting performance was led from the front by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was under immense pressure before the start of the series.
The batting lineup would like to carry the momentum into the next game, which is also the series decider.
Bangla Tigers will open the innings with Anamul Haque and Shadman Islam, like they did in the first match.
The pair will look to get the team off to a good start and lay a platform for the middle-order batters to post an above-par total on the board.
Anamul Haq will hope to cash in on the opportunity he is expected to get in the second game and get a big score under his belt to get some confidence for the matches to come.
Shadman Islam, on the other hand, has featured in 23 games so far for his nation in the longest format of the game and has an underwhelming record.
Having said that, the left-hander would be satisfied with the way he batted in both innings in Galle, which included a fifty in the second innings, and would want to build on it.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (wk), Jaker Ali
The opening pair will be followed by an experienced middle order, which has in-form batters like the captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Moninul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Litton Das.
Bangladesh's entire middle order chipped in with decisive contributions, including centuries from the bat of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim, and a fifty from Litton Das.
The lower middle order will be taken care of by Jaker Ali, who would be gutted for ruing the opportunity to score runs on a good batting wicket in the first Test.
Bowlers: Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana
Like Sri Lanka, the Bangla Tigers would also pin their hopes on their spinners and would want them to keep up the good work they did in the first match.
The onus will be on Nayeem Hasan and Taijul Islam to once again pick up wickets for the team.
Along with the spinners, Bangladesh would be satisfied by the way their fast bowlers bowled in challenging conditions in Galle.
The duo of Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana bowled their hearts out in scorching heat during the first Test.
The Bangla Tigers are expected to go in with the same combination of four bowlers, including two spinners.
