Asia cup 2025 sl vs ban: The match to be held on Saturday, 13 September in the Asia Cup 2025 is going to be very special. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka teams will face face to face in Group B. This match will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 8 pm Indian time. For both the teams, this clash is not only of victory and defeat, but also a question of fixing the way to move forward in the tournament.

Abu Dhabi Pitch and Weather

The pitch of Sheikh Zayed Stadium is usually balanced. Here in the initial overs, fast bowlers can get mild help, but as the match progresses, the role of spinners will be important. Both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have good spinners, so this department can prove to be decisive. Talking about the weather, the temperature in Abu Dhabi is likely to be high. Summer will take a big test of players’ fitness and stamina.

Bangladesh’s good start

Bangladesh started their campaign with an easy win over Hong Kong. Captain Litton Das, playing an innings of 59 runs, won the team by seven wickets. However, the bowling of the Bangladeshi team, which shows stability in batting, still looks weak.

Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed and leg -spinner Rishad Hussain were able to take wickets, but in their over, both the bowlers got a lot of runs. If such a mistake was repeated against a balanced team like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh may have to suffer a big loss.

Sri Lanka’s team became stronger

Under the captaincy of Charith Asanka, Sri Lanka has descended with full preparation in the Asia Cup. His team is looking balanced in all three departments batting, bowling and fielding.

Top order – The pair like Pathum Nisanka, Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera can challenge any bowling attack.

Middle Order – Asananka himself, Dasun Shanaka and Kamindu Mendis bring depth in the team’s batting.

New strength – Janith Liange has returned after three years. Recently, he gave proof of his superb form by playing an innings of 70 runs against Zimbabwe.

Bowling – Star spinner Vanindu Hasranga has returned after recovering from injury. Mahishna and Dunith Vellage with them can prove fatal on slow pitches. Fast bowlers Mathisha Pathirana and Dushmantha Chamera bring diversity in the pace attack.

Equation of points table

In Group B, Afghanistan is already ahead with a great net run rate (+4.700). Bangladesh also has a win, but its net run rate is +1.001. If the three teams (Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) have the same digits, then the net run rate will decide only. This is the reason that not only victory in this match, but also winning with a big margin is very important for both teams.

Squad of Bangladesh

Litan Das (Captain), Tanjid Hasan, Parvez Hussain Imon, Saif Hasan, Tauheed Hriday, Jekar Ali Anik, Shamim Hussain, Qazi Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shak Maheedi Hasan, Rishad Hussain, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizh Haman, Tanjim Hasan Saqib, Taskin Ahmed, Shiful Islam, Shaif Uddin.
