Team Preview of Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Match Prediction 2025
The Sri Lanka and Bangladesh match at Galle ended up in a draw, which was also the first test match of the WTC 2025-2027 Cycle. It was a rare sight in recent times that a match at the Galle got drawn because it used to be spin-friendly, but this time it was purely batting-friendly.
It was also the last match for the legendary Sri Lanka star player Angelo Matthews, who did everything for the team, as seen at its highest, and also came out of retirement to help his team get their legs back in the test match.
The second match is going to be played at the capital city of Sri Lanka, Colombo, and it is known for its high-scoring ground, but also famous for its damp pitch due to the rainy conditions.
