SL vs BAN Key battles:

Pathum Nissanka vs Taskin Ahmed

Pathum Nissanka will look to continue the rich vein of form he is in after missing out to make a significant contribution in he previous match.

Nissanka will be up against experienced fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, who has also been in good form in the recent past and would like to make full use of it in the upcoming match.

Charith Asalanka vs Mustafizur Rahman

Sri Lanka's white ball skipper Charith Asalanka would wish to get some runs under his belt after failing to do so in the last couple of games.

Asalanka will face the challenge of Mustafizur Rahman, who was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh in the previous match against Afghanistan and would hope to keep up the good work.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim vs Dushmantha Chameera

Bangladesh's opening batter, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, would want to build on the match-winning half-century against Afghanistan.

Tamim will go head-to-head against Dushmantha Chameera, who will look at this match as an opportunity to make a strong comeback after conceding a lot of runs against Afghanistan.

Towhid Hridoy vs Wanindu Hasaranga

Towhid Hridoy will play a crucial role in ensuring that Bangladesh post an above-par total if they bat first against Sri Lanka.

Hridoy will have to tackle the bowling of Wanindu Hasaranga, who will be the key for Sri Lanka to pick up wickets in the middle overs.
