Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh aren’t facing ideal conditions for themselves in the T20 World Cup. But this is a chance for both sides to redeem themselves. Here are the best bets for this Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh match.
Sri Lanka top bowler to be Matheesha Pathirana – 10Cric @ 3.75, BET HERE
Matheesha Pathirana lands his yorkers perfectly and on his day, has the ability to run through oppositions which has shown in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Shakib Al Hasan to be top batter of Bangladesh – 1xBet @ 5.5, BET HERE
Shakib Al Hasan might not be in the best of forms but he is the most experienced and can be the highest run-scorer for Bangladesh in this game.
Best result of the first partnership – Sri Lanka – Parimatch @1.71, BET HERE
Even though they got out early, Sri Lanka’s opening duo of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis is settled and are likely to perform better than their Bangladesh counterparts.
Venue and Pitch Analysis
Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas has so far witnessed two contrasting matches in the ongoing mega event. USA chased down 190-odd runs against Canada in the opener while Netherlands took 18.4 overs to chase down 107 runs in a group D encounter. With this being a night game, the surface is expected to be good for batting but one cannot rule out the bowlers entirely with a new ball doing a lot under the lights.

Head-to-Head Record Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh
Sri Lanka have won 11 out of 16 T20I matches against Bangladesh in the shortest format. Bangladesh have won only five matches against the team from the island nation.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka didn’t get their campaign off to a great start in the T20 World Cup 2024. They were shot for just 75 runs after opting to bat first but a change in venue for this game might help their batters. This is a must-win game for them in order to stay alive in the tournament and their brilliant head to head record against Bangladesh certainly keeps them in good stead.
Bangladesh
Things aren’t ideal for Bangladesh in the lead up to the T20 World Cup. This is their first game in the tournament but they are coming off a series loss at the hands of the USA recently and also lost the warm-up game to India by 60 runs. They are also sweating over the fitness of Taskin Ahmed while Shoriful Islam has already been ruled out of the clash.

Toss Prediction
Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas has so far hosted two matches in this T20 World Cup. In the only night game taken place at the venue so far, USA chased down 195 runs with more than two overs to spare and the surface should be a good one for batting. Both matches so far have been won by teams bowling first. For the same reason, the side winning the toss will look to bowl first.
