Preview
Bangladesh will be seeking another ODI series win against Sri Lanka when they come up against their familiar foes in the second ODI in Dhaka. In the first match, Bangladesh stole the show with their 33-run win. Batting first, on the back of some good batting display from Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmudullah, Bangladesh finished with a moderately good score of 257.
Chasing the total looked like quite a difficult thing for the visitors, who didn’t look in control of the chase at all. Wickets kept falling regularly as they lost momentum and ended up losing the match. They would need to make some adjustments to their game to come up with a win.

Captaincy Picks for BAN vs SL
Mushfiqur Rahim (Bangladesh)
He has been one of the pillars of Bangladesh cricket over the years and has racked up one after one match-winning performance for his team. He scored a brilliant fifty in the previous match and kept his great record against Sri Lanka at a good place. Rahim should get some runs in this match as well.
Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)
Wanindu Hasaranga has been in outstanding form coming into this series. He had finished the West Indies ODI series with a fifty and he started this series with a 74 run knock as well. Hasaranga has a genuine knack for picking up wickets and does that too often. He should be able to carry his good form into this match.
