Sri Lanka U-19 vs Bangladesh U-19, 1st ODI: Probable XI, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

Bangladesh U-19 will tour Sri Lanka U-19 for a five-match ODI series commencing on Friday. The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium will play host to all five scheduled fixtures between the two outfits.

The series will serve as a preparation for the upcoming U-19 World Cup which is all set to be staged in 2022 in West Indies. Both sides will be looking to get some much-needed game time as they look to find the right combinations in lieu of the approaching World Cup.

The Bangladesh U-19 side has the edge over the Sri Lankan U-19 boys, with the former emerging victorious four times out of the previous five occasions that the sides have clashed, with one game being abandoned.

Bangladesh U-19 are in good form, claiming a 3-2 ODI series win over the visiting Afghanistan U-19 side in September. The hosts went on to win the only Test which followed the ODI series and will be riding high on confidence coming into this contest.
