The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the second One Day International between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on Friday, July 5. The hosts are riding high on confidence after a comprehensive victory in the series opener, where they outplayed Bangladesh in all departments to register a 77-run win.
Sri Lanka displayed dominance with both bat and ball in the first ODI, with their top-order firing and bowlers executing their plans to perfection. With the series on the line, they will be keen to replicate that performance and clinch the series with a match to spare.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, find themselves in a do-or-die situation. A defeat in the second ODI would mean a series loss, something they’ll be desperate to avoid. The visitors will need a collective effort—stronger batting application and tighter bowling—to turn things around and level the series.
