Sri Lanka will battle it out with Bangladesh in the second ODI on Saturday, July 05. The hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series and will be looking to seal the series in the second ODI itself. The Lankans have shown some tremendous form in the 50-over format in the last two years. Their batting and bowling are firing in unison and that has helped them string wins consistently.
On the other hand, the visitors' form in the ODIs has dipped massively. Bangladesh's old approach is costing them many games that they should ideally have won. Worst, the captaincy musical chairs continue as there is not a fixed skipper for a long period. In the first game, they were in control of the majority of the game, only to botch up the chase in the fag end.
SL vs BAN Match Preview
Sri Lanka's slow bowlers led by Wanindu Hasaranga yet again showed their class while defending a lowish total against Bangladesh in the first ODI. This has become the norm for the island nation. Even a total of 220 the host nation is confident of defending. Sri Lanka's only concern remains their inconsistent form of batters. Barring skipper Charith Asalanka, and Pathum Nissanka, the rest of the batters have failed to show consistency.

Meanwhile, Bangladeshi batters have failed to show a lack of application while chasing totals. The batters start too cautiously and later, cannot keep up with the asking rate requirements. Lack of power hitters is always a concern for the side and with the ever-increasing need of such batters, Bangladeshi are failing to close out the games, which they should win easily.
