- Dinesh Chandimal has scored over 5000 Test runs. In the last Test against Afghanistan, he scored 107. Back him as top Sri Lanka batter.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto has been the best performer for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka and can be backed as top batter in the first innings.
- The wickets will help the spinners while overcast conditions will bring pacers into play as well. We expect total wickets to fall to be more than 34.5.

🏆 Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Prediction
Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in the ODI series but the Test format is a different ball game altogether. It won’t be easy for Bangladesh to bowl out Sri Lanka for low scores twice in two innings. Sri Lanka, however, can exploit the lack of experience in the Bangladesh team. Back Sri Lanka to win.
