Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will add another section to their competition when they meet in the Asia Cup opener in Dubai on Saturday. One needs to look no more remote than the last time these two groups met, in the Nidahas Trophy, which was defaced by a couple of occurrences, to acknowledge exactly how serious and furious rivalry between the opposite sides has moved toward becoming. Which is the reason neither one of the teams will make due with anything not as much as a win, particularly as Afghanistan, who have turned out to be progressively aggressive in constrained overs cricket, are themselves, solid contenders, to make the Super Four phase.
Sri Lanka have had the better of Bangladesh in 2018, beating them in a tri-country ODI competition last in January, and a Test and T20I arrangement in February. In any case, Bangladesh's twin triumphs over Sri Lanka, both in tight recreations, in the Nidahas Trophy, won't before long be overlooked. They tasted assist accomplishment on visit in the West Indies, where every one of the five center individuals from the group - Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim - fared great and Liton Das struck a marvelous 50 years in the choosing T20I in Florida. Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan, two key segments, have likewise indicated great frame with the ball, however then a portion of the more youthful batsmen have work to do.
Sri Lanka was hit somewhat hard when they lost an ODI arrangement to South Africa at home, in the wake of having pulverized them in the Tests. Kusal Mendis and Upul Tharanga were particularly disillusioning making 86 and 93 keeps running in five matches separately. That will be of some worry as Sri Lanka can sick bear the cost of a powerless best request.
Akila Dananjaya is probably going to miss the initial two matches because of the introduction of his kid. The 24-year old spinner tormented South Africa with a six-for in the fifth ODI and was the main wicket-taker of the arrangement with 14 scalps. Sri Lanka has officially lost Dinesh Chandimal and Danushka Gunathilaka to wounds.
These unlucky deficiencies may give Bangladesh a slight edge, however, their batsmen still need to discover a path through the center overs, where Dilruwan Perera can be particularly strong with his precise offbreaks. Be that as it may, as Tamim said two days before the match, the Dubai warmth would make this a clash of will more than whatever else.
Angelo Mathews looked in a great frame all through the ODI arrangement against South Africa a month ago, topping it off with a run-a-ball unbeaten 97 out of a gigantic triumph in the last ODI. Without Dinesh Chandimal, Mathews needs to convey that shape and venture up with his experience to hold the center request together.
Tamim Iqbal is Bangladesh's driving ODI batsman in 2018, averaging 89.83 for his 539 runs. He should accomplish business as usual; without a steady opening association in quite a while, Bangladesh depends intensely on Tamim for a sound begin in ODIs.
