A recent rivalry heats up. From the Naagin Dance incident in 2018, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been apart of some fierce encounters. The timed-out incident in the last World Cup followed by each side mocking one another during trophy solutions has elevated things well between both teams.

Coming to this game though, Sri Lanka will be the happier side. They struggled against South Africa but still managed to make a fight out of defending a meager total of 77, Bangladesh though in the leadup to the tournament lost to USA and are struggling for their sides balance.

Najmul Hossain Shanto

Najmul Hossain Shanto has been going through a torrid period with the bat. The runs are not coming and he will be eager to get his way back as the tournament kicks in.
