Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup 2023: Preview, Prediction, Pitch And Weather Reports
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup 2023: Based on the current form, Sri Lanka are the favourites to win this contest
Bangladesh will be up against Sri Lanka in Match 38 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 6 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India. The match commences at 2:00 PM IST. Bangladesh are already out of the tournament having lost six of their seven matches, alongside defending champions England. Sri Lanka could join them on the exit route if they lose this contest. However, even if they emerge victorious, their chances of making it to the semi-finals are very slim. (World Cup 2023 points table)
Bangladesh's last match saw them lose to Pakistan by a big margin. Bangladesh could manage only 204 runs in the first innings and the 1992 champions chased the total in only 32.3 overs, courtesy of Fakhar Zaman's 74-ball 81 and Abdullah Shafique's 69-ball 68.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, were handed the second biggest defeat in World Cup history at the Wankhede Stadium against India. India posted 357 runs batting first and Sri Lanka were bowled out for a paltry 55 runs in 19.4 overs. Mohammad Shami picked up a five-fer while Mohammed Siraj returned with three wickets.
