BAN vs SL ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup Warm Up 2023
With the 2023 World Cup now under one week away, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka play in the first warm-up match. Bangladesh were beaten by New Zealand by 7 wickets in their last game in this format. Sri Lanka were thrashed by 10 wickets by India in the Asia Cup Final on September 17. Read on as we preview this game. The day-night match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium gets underway at 14:00 local time.
Bangladesh have an exciting team with their bowling line-up particularly impressive. We expect them to give Sri Lanka a close game in Guwahati.
Sri Lanka will have been very disappointed by their performance in the Asia Cup Final but they will now be focused on the World Cup and are in excellent ODI form.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
With their World Cup squad only announced on Tuesday, the cricketing world is still digesting the news that Tamim Iqbal will miss the tournament with the official reason being due to his back injury. Hossain Shanto looks to be back to full fitness.
BAN Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-handed 25 year old hit 76 on his return to the team earlier this week against New Zealand and scored 104 and 89 in his previous two innings.
- Shakib Al Hasan - Although the skipper is now 36, and likely to be playing in his final World Cup in this format, he is still contributing with both bat and ball at the top level.
- Shoriful Islam - The left-arm pace bowler has picked up 9 wickets from his last five ODIs for Bangladesh. He will get plenty of swing with the humid conditions in Guwahati.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh came up short during the 2023 Asia Cup and have won only one of their last five ODIs.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
It has been a tough period for Sri Lanka with plenty of injuries particularly in their bowling attack. The experienced Dushmantha Chameera and bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga have both missed out on the World Cup squad due to injuries.
SL Key Players
- Kusal Mendis - The keeper-batter was one of only two players in double figures and top scored for Sri Lanka in the heavy Asia Cup Final defeat. He is a remarkably consistent batter.
- Sadeera Samarawickrama - The 28 year old right-hander is relatively new to international cricket but there are plenty of pundits who expect him to impress in this tournament.
- Matheesha Pathirana - The 20 year old right-arm fast bowler returned figures of 3-58 against Bangladesh during the Asia Cup. His yorker length deliveries are very hard to keep out.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka won 13 ODIs in a row but recent defeats against India twice have checked their confidence.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Dunith Wellalage, Dushan Hemantha, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana
