Kusal Mendis top-scored with 196 for Sri Lanka in the first test with Dhananjaya de Silva (173) and Roshen Silva (109) also chipping in with huge contributions. Middle order too is looking good with skipper Dinesh Chandimal and Niroshan Dickwella having struck a fifty each. Suranga Lakmal will pose the biggest challenge for the hosts with the new ball. The pacer took three wickets in the first innings and also has six wickets in his only test at this ground. Rangana Herath claimed a match haul of five wickets and the spinner could once again cause problems for the Bangladeshi batsmen.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Prediction
The first test ended in a draw but Sri Lanka will be the happier of the two teams as they were slightly better with both bat and ball. Bangladesh however have the psychological advantage of having beaten England and Australia in their last two test matches at the Shere Bangla. But at the same time, they will also be aware of the fact that they have been beaten in both the tests against the visitors at this venue. Sri Lanka seem to be a little stronger in both batting and bowling departments at the moment and so we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Sri Lanka to beat Bangladesh at 2.62 on 1xbet and 2.50 each on Bet365, Unibet and betway.
