Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I Match Preview: It is going to be the 2nd match between the two sides in the three-match T20I series, and it is going to be very important for both as Sri Lanka will look to seal the series, and Bangladesh will look for a comeback.

Bangladesh fought well in the last match even after getting a huge target of 207, but still, they did not fall back, and some of their players stepped up as Jaker Ali and Mahmudullah scored a quick-fire half-century to keep the team in the game.

Sri Lanka was amazing with their batters, as Kusal Mendis, Samarawickrama, and Asalanka had a great game. It is going to be their bowling that needs to step up, and there is a chance that Matheesha Pathirana will not be going to play in the next match.
