Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka meet in the second of three ODIs in Mirpur on Tuesday. The hosts won the first ODI on Sunday by 33 runs with Mushfiqur Rahim hitting 84 and Mehedi Hasan taking 4-30. Sri Lanka must win this game to level the series ahead of the deciding game on Friday. Read on as we preview this ODI. The game will get underway at 13:00 local time.
Bangladesh have won twelve of their last thirteen ODIs at home, a run which takes them back to October 2018. There is also a lot more to come from their batting line-up as both Liton Das and Mohammad Mithun made ducks on Sunday.
Sri Lanka showed real character to get anywhere near the target in the first ODI and can take hope from Wanindu Hasaranga’s impressive innings. He hit eight boundaries including five sixes, the only sixes of Sri Lanka’s innings.

The pitch was responsive to off-spin with Mehedi Hasan and Dhananjaya de Silva both registering the best figures for their teams on Sunday. We expect the pitch to offer similar assistance to the spinners in this game.

BAN Team News
The home side were very impressive with the bat in Sunday’s first ODI. Any team who can produce three half-century makers in an ODI will give themselves a good chance of victory. We expect Tamim Iqbal’s side to unchanged in the second ODI.
BAN Key Players
- Tamim Iqbal - The captain got his team’s innings off to a good start hitting seven boundaries in his 52 on Sunday. He’ll be looking to go bigger in this game.
- Shakib Al Hasan - The world’s number one all-rounder chipped in with the wicket of Kusal Mendis but struggled with the bat. 15 runs from 34 balls is a poor return and he will be keen to deliver more in this game.
- Mahedi Hasan - The off-spinner not only took 4-30 in Sunday’s game but crucially dismissed both Sri Lanka openers. He took the most wickets and had the best economy rate for Bangladesh.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh are a very strong side at home and can’t stop winning in this format on their own patch. They will be going for their ninth successive ODI home win in this game.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal (c) , Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

SL Team News
After successive series at home and away against West Indies, you have to go all the way back to October 2019 to find Sri Lanka playing an ODI against someone else. Their last ODI away win in a bilateral series came in Bangladesh in 2018.
SL Key Players
- Danushka Gunathilaka - The star from the ODI leg of the West Indies tour was fluent but couldn’t post a significant score on Sunday. He will be keen to contribute more than 21 in this game.
- Kusal Perera - The captain produced 30 runs from 50 balls but will be looking for more from his top order colleagues in this match. He also needs more control from his front line bowlers.
- Dhananjaya de Silva - The off-spinner produced his third best ODI career figures in Sunday’s game. He picked up two LBW dismissals and bowled Mahmudullah.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have now lost their last six ODIs away from home with defeats in Pakistan, the Caribbean and Bangladesh all included. Their current approach is not delivering results.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Kusal Perera (c) (wk), Danushka Gunathilaka, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Ashen Bandara, Wanindu Hasaranga, Isuru Udana, Lakshan Sandakan, Dushmantha Chameera
