SL vs BAN: Sri Lanka will have a chance to win yet another series against Bangladesh.
SL vs BAN: Bangladesh had yet another poor show with the bat in the first of three T20Is, which ended in yet another defeat for them on this tour. Sri Lanka managed an easy win to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series and will be eyeing a complete clean sweep against Bangladesh across formats.
These two sides will be facing each other for the second time in this series on Sunday at 7 PM. Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium will host this contest. Kusal Mendis has been exceptional, and after winning the Player of the Series in ODI, he bagged the Man of the Match in the first T20I.

SL vs BAN: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keeper: Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera
· Batters: Pathum Nissanka, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy
· All-rounders: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Dasun Shanaka (Vice captain), Rishad Hossain, Charith Asalanka (Captain)
· Bowlers: Jeffrey Vandersay, Taskin Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh will be under a lot of pressure as they are on the verge of losing yet another series. They only have the chance if they can bat well. Mustafizur Rahman didn’t play the first game, and he might be back, which might strengthen their bowling unit.
Sri Lanka have been brilliant in both departments, and their top order is making sure that they get a good start. Pathum Nissanka has been slightly off-color in the white-ball format, but others have stepped up. Sri Lanka’s middle order has also done well. That is why they are favorites to win the second T20I.
