Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Key battles:

Pathum Nissanka vs Taskin Ahmed

Pathum Nissanka, the Sri Lankan opener who is in good form leading into the Asia Cup, would like to put that on show in the team's tournament opener against Bangladesh.

Nissanka will be up against experienced fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, who will look to pick wickets with the new ball for Bangladesh.

Charith Asalanka vs Mustafizur Rahman

Sri Lanka's white ball skipper Charith Asalanka would wish to lead from the front and guide his team to a solid total while batting first.

Asalanka will face the challenge of Mustafizur Rahman, who will look to fox the batter with his accurate bowling in the middle and final five overs.

Parvez Hossain Emon vs Dushmantha Chameera

Bangladesh's opening batter Parvez Hossain Emon is known for his attacking strokeplay at the top of the order, and he would like to play in the same manner during the match against Sri Lanka.

Parvez will go head-to-head against Dushmantha Chameera, who would want to put all his experience with the ball to good use, being one of the senior members of the side.

Towhid Hridoy vs Wanindu Hasaranga

Towhid Hridoy, a highly rated young batter in Bangladesh's setup, would like to get going in the match against Sri Lanka and showcase his ability to the world.

Hridoy will have to tackle the bowling of Wanindu Hasaranga, who will aim to get the better of Hridoy in the middle overs.

Conclusion

Bangladesh has had a strong record against Sri Lanka in the last five T20I matches and would like to build on that by registering a win against the island nation in the upcoming match of the Asia Cup.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would want to make a strong comeback against Bangladesh in this format of the game, having lost the last T20I series they played against the Litton Das-led side.
