On Saturday afternoon in Colombo, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will square off in the second game of the Super Fours stage of the 2023 Asia Cup. Sri Lanka won both of their Group B matches, including a victory over Bangladesh, which was also defeated by Pakistan in the first Super Fours match on Wednesday. Sri Lanka advanced to the Super Fours stage with a narrow win over Afghanistan on Tuesday, but they will need to be much better in this match, especially with the bat, against a strong Bangladesh bowling unit. Bangladesh bowled well in their defeat to Pakistan in Lahore, but they need to score more runs at the top of the order if they are to compete in this match.
