MATCH PREVIEW
BANGLADESH
Some World Cup Schedules are harder than others and there is no doubt that Bangladesh had to face some tough teams in its first three matches at the ICC World Cup 2019. Now, Sri Lanka is the first team against which Bangladesh would go as the favorite to win.
Bangladesh has impressed everyone with their batting in the tournament so far.
There are some holes in the batting performances. As the middle order does not have the power that some of the other teams possess.
Against, Sri Lanka, we expect the Bangladeshi batsmen to do much better.
Sri Lanka does not have any express fast bowlers to trouble the Bangladeshis and there is no world class spinner in their ranks either.
The Bangladeshi bowling has also been pretty good so far. All the bowlers have been disciplined apart.

SRI LANKA
Considered to be the weakest team in the CWC 2019 by many experts, Sri Lanka has a point to prove in this match.
In contrast to the settled and experienced Bangladesh side, the Sri Lankan side ended up making a lot of changes just ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019.
There is no good spinner in the side and once the new ball is done with, the opposition can score runs against them at will.
The only way for Sri Lanka to win this match is going to be through a superior batting performance.
