Sri Lanka 11 VS Bangladesh- Asia Cup 2025, Super 4 Match 1 is playing
Opener: Patham Nisanka, Kusal Mendis (WK)
Sri Lanka won the back-to-back against Bangladesh in the T20I format of the game after losing the previous series at home.
The Chariith Asananka -led side registered a win over Bangladesh when the two sides first met in the Asia Cup 2025, and would like to repeat the same performance in the upcoming game.
Sri Lanka looks like an entire entity with all its boxes and players are in form in both departments of the game, making them a favorite for winning the game.
Saying that, the team management would like to ensure that the players are not decent in the match, given that the East Asia Cup winners have not got the match in this year’s tournament.
Sri Lanka is unlikely to play in the match against Bangladesh, as he has returned home due to his father’s death.
Mahesh Thekshana is expected to replace Thekshna, with the rest he is working once again.
Sri Lanka will open the innings with Pathu, Nisanka and Kusal Mendis, both are in good form.
Although Nisanka missed out on a big score in the last match, she has been the backbone of the team’s batting in recent times.
Nisanka is given a good company by Kusal Mendis, who scored a match winning half -century in the last match against Afghanistan and wants to maintain good work.
Middle-order batsman and all-rounders: Kamil Mishara, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asanki (C), Dasun Shank, Vanindu Hasranga
The initial pair will be followed by a middle order, which has also done its work on most occasions in the competition, stopping the match against Hong Kong, where Sri Lanka made things difficult for itself.
The choice of Kamil Mishara, who has been an unstable -cent, is experienced of Kusal Perera, who took some outstanding catches in the previous match, and Captain Charith Asranka has also put his hand up when needed.
Sri Lanka has a deep batting lineup, which may be useful in the next match and the team is scheduled to play against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The batting lineup also has a depth, Lanka also has at least seven bowling options, including three in the top seven, which allows the captain to be flexible according to sports conditions and status.
Bowler: Mahesh Thekshana, Dushmanatha Chamera, Nuwan Thaushra
Lanka would once again want their bowlers to limit the opposition to a down-back clan, such as they scored 32 runs against Afghanistan for the last over of the team’s bowling innings, scoring 32 runs.
Nuwan Thaushara, who was the bowlers’ pick up with four wickets, will see the wicket with a new ball and also in the last five overs against Bangladesh.
The spin pair of Vanindu Hasranga and Mahesh Thekshana will also be assigned to choose wickets and the flow of runs in the middle overs will be assigned to complete the flow of runs with Dasun Shank and Charith Asanakan, which will serve as the fifth bowling option.
The only concern for Lanka would be the form of enemy Chamera, who was expensive in the previous match and will see to make a strong comeback.
