SL VS BAN Prediction – Who Will Win?
Both teams have reached here after some good shows. Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in the T20I series a few months back, but Sri Lanka beat them earlier this tournament. So, both sides have some moments of success over their oppositions. Bangladesh have the issue of batting failure in crucial matches.
Hence, they need to work on that, and their top order needs to stand tall to score a competitive score. But Sri Lanka have more clinical performances with the bat. Someone from their top order stood tall and helped them win matches. Hence, we feel Sri Lanka are better suited to win this game on Saturday.
