Sri Lanka will begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign, while Bangladesh enter the match following a seven-wicket win over Hong Kong in their opening game.
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka preview highlights that BAN have had the chance to adapt to the conditions in Abu Dhabi, which could give them an edge.
In BAN's opening game, they successfully chased 144, anchored by a steady half-century from Litton Das and backed by valuable contributions from the middle order.
Their bowling attack, however, will face a sterner challenge against Sri Lanka and will need to execute consistently during the powerplay and at the death. Spin options such as Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain are likely to be key on the slower track at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Sri Lanka at Asia Cup 2025 will benefit from the return of all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, whose presence strengthens both bowling and lower-order batting. Their strategy relies on controlling the middle overs with spin and finishing strongly, while pacer Dushmantha Chameera’s early breakthroughs will be key against Bangladesh’s top order.
