Sri Lanka are favourites to win
The final fixture in Group B of the 2022 Asia Cup sees Sri Lanka and Bangladesh go head to head on Thursday evening at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have already lost to Afghanistan in the tournament and the winner of this game will finish in second place and proceed to the Super Four stage. Read on as we preview the match. This fixture gets underway at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 18:00 local time.
Sri Lanka did not use their entire allocation of 20 overs with the bat and were then defeated after only 10.1 overs with the ball against Afghanistan. They must put in a better all-round performance in this game.
Bangladesh continue to struggle in this format and had got themselves into a strong position against Afghanistan with four overs remaining. However, they could not see it through and suddenly this game becomes must-win.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports Network and DD Sports. In the UK you can watch the game on UTsav Gold HD.
Asia Cup Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first on Tuesday and we expect Sri Lanka to ask them to bat first if they win the toss in this game. Whoever wins the toss, we predict that Bangladesh will bat first.
We expect to see another low bounce and slow wicket for this game. Spinners will be able to get plenty of assistance from the pitch whereas the pace bowlers will have to work far harder for their wickets.
Clear skies with moderate humidity levels remaining the same from start to finish. The temperature will be above 30 degrees throughout this game.

There were IT20 debuts for 21 year old left arm pace bowler Dilshan Madushanka and 19 year old medium pacer Matheesha Pathirana in the defeat against Afghanistan. Although neither took a wicket, the selectors will want to show faith in the pair and we anticipate they will both be picked again in this match.
Sri Lanka have won only one of their last six games in this format and were comprehensively outplayed by Afghanistan on the weekend.

Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Dilshan Madushanka
The Tigers put out a reasonably experienced side for their opening game against Afghanistan but found themselves 28-4 halfway through the seventh over. With injuries to the likes of Liton Das ruling him out of the Asia Cup 2022, there are not many options for Bangladesh to turn to at the top of the order.
Bangladesh have a terrible recent record in this format. They have lost 14 of their last 16 IT20s.

Although Sri Lanka have an 8-4 overall lead in the IT20 head to head, from 2016 onwards, the teams have been very well matched. Sri Lanka won the first four meetings between 2007 - 2014 but since then the overall score is 4-4.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 12 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Last 5 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Neither team has been in great form in this format of the game but Sri Lanka are favourites with the bookies to win this match and advance in the tournament.

Bangladesh certainly showed more fight than Sri Lanka in their defeat against Afghanistan. However, the Tigers then got themselves into a winning position before not being able to see the job through to the conclusion.
Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are our batting picks for Sri Lanka. Nissanka has a top score of 75 in this format, scored against India in February of this year.
We recommend Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Naim to be the top batters for Bangladesh. Naim has scored four half-centuries in IT20s.
Our bowling tips are Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka for Sri Lanka. Theekshana has best figures of 3-17 in IT20s, against Ireland in October 2021.
Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Saifuddin are our bowling choices for Bangladesh. Saifuddin looked to be taking the game in Bangladesh’s direction when he dismissed Mohammad Nabi on Tuesday.

With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, a win in this game for either team will guarantee them some additional games against the best teams in this region in the Super Fours. Although we do not expect either side to challenge for the Asia Cup, we are backing Sri Lanka to win this game.
