Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Their batting is going to depend a lot on the two Kusals - Perera and Mendis - both of whom have been outstanding in this series. While the former belted 66 in the opening game against India and 74 in the reverse fixture against Bangladesh, the latter seems to be more dangerous with fifties in his previous two innings. With the ball, Sri Lanka will bank on the likes of Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep to provide the early breakthroughs. Akila Dananjaya is coming off impressive figures of 2-19 against India and the off-spinner could cause problems for Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11

Thisara Perera (c), Upul Tharanga, Suranga Lakmal, Jeevan Mendis, Nuwan Pradeep, Kusal Perera (wk), Danushka Gunathilaka, Dushmantha Chameera, Dasun Shanaka, Akila Dananjaya, Kusal Mendis
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Except Mushfiqur Rahim, no other batsman has managed to score big for Bangladesh in this series and this will worry them the most. The top-order batsman has scores of 72 not-out in each of his last two matches and the team desperately needs him to carry his impeccable form into this do-or-die clash. Shakib Al Hasan seems to have recovered from his finger injury and he could feature in the starting eleven if he clears his fitness test. His inclusion will not only strengthen the team's spin department but will also beef up their middle order which currently relies heavily on Mushfiqur. Rubel Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman are the major threats in the pace attack and Bangladesh will hope that they have a good day with the ball on Friday.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 6th T20 Betting Odds
Sri Lanka begin as firm favorites to win the last round-robin game of this T20 international tri-series at odds of 1.51 on Betfair and 1.55 on Betway. After starting off the tournament with an emphatic win in the opening encounter against India, the hosts have suffered defeats in their next two matches. Bangladesh too have won one and lost two of their three fixtures with the solitary win coming against Sri Lanka in the reverse match-up. The odds for them to win this game stand at 2.74 on Betfair and 2.40 on Betway.
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 6th T20 Prediction
Both teams are coming after facing defeat at the hands of India in their last match and neither of them can afford any more slip-ups here as the loser of this match gets ousted from the tournament. Bangladesh will feel a lot more optimistic due to their last week's triumph over Sri Lanka and given that the hosts will be without their regular skipper and key batsmen in Dinesh Chandimal who is undergoing a two-match suspension. Plus, it will be a massive boost to their chances if the star all-rounder Shakib is declared fit to play. However, death bowling is a major concern for them and so is their batting that has revolved mainly around Mushfiqur Rahim. Though Sri Lanka lost to Bangladesh last time, we feel that the home team will come back motivated to avenge their defeat and secure their place in the final.
Final Verdict: Back Sri Lanka to beat Bangladesh at 1.51 on 1xbet and 1.55 on Betway.
