There were no demons in the pitch, and the batters were able to trust the pace and bounce of the surface, which was evident by the way the Sri Lankan batters batted during the first innings in scorching heat.

Having said that, there was a bit of help for the fast bowlers and the spinners when they pitched the ball in the right areas.

Although the upcoming T20I game will be a night fixture, the pitch is expected to behave the same way as it did in the previous game, with the ball skidding on the bat in the second innings.

Dew is not expected to play a huge role in the match, and the team that wins the toss is expected to bat first, given the fact that 14 out of the 26 T20Is have been won by the team that bats first.

As has been the case, it will be a test by spin for both teams, and whichever team is able to negotiate the opposition spinners better will have a bright chance of winning the game.

As far as the form of both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in T20I cricket is concerned, the asian teams have been neck to neck with respect to performance.

Sri Lanka has won one out of the last four T20I series, whereas Bangladesh is coming on the back of a loss in their last two T20I series.

The home team, however, will take confidence from the fact that they were able to beat Bangladesh in their own backyard in the last bilateral T20I assignment involving the two teams.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka will look to take an early lead in the series by winning the first game and keeping their record against Bangladesh in T20I cricket in check.

As far as Bangladesh is concerned, the young team would hope to get things right in this particular format, having lost five of the last six T20I games, which includes a series loss against the UAE.
