Bangladesh take on Sri Lanka in a Group 1 clash of the T20 World Cup 2021. Pic: t20worldcup.comA buoyant Sri Lanka will take on a confident Bangladesh in Match 15 of the T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Both Asian sides qualified for the Super 12 from the Round 1 stage and find themselves in Group 1 alongside England, Australia, South Africa and West Indies.Sri Lanka impressed in Round 1, winning all their three matches. They began with a seven-wicket triumph over Namibia, and then defeated Ireland by 70 runs. In their last match, they rolled over an abysmal Netherlands for 44. Although Sri Lanka’s bowling proved too good for opponents, their top-order batting remains a matter of concern. They lost early wickets in all three matches, including in the tiny chase of 45 against the Dutch.T20 World Cup@T20WorldCupAfter negotiating the First Round, #SriLanka and #Bangladesh meet in Super 12 #T20WorldCup action.#SLvBNG preview article 👉 bit.ly/SLvBNG t20worldcup.com/video/230557511:35 AM · Oct 24, 202120511After negotiating the First Round, #SriLanka and #Bangladesh meet in Super 12 #T20WorldCup action.#SLvBNG preview article 👉 bit.ly/SLvBNG t20worldcup.com/video/2305575Bangladesh were stunned by Scotland in their opening encounter in Round 1 but recovered well to get the better of Oman before brushing aside the Papua New Guinea challenge.
