Sri Lanka heads to the Asia Cup 2023 after sailing smoothly through the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers in Zimbabwe. The island nation showcased their immaculate performance in the tournament, which helped them earn their spot in the impending ICC World Cup 2023.
Although they managed to emerge triumphant in the World Cup qualifiers, there still would be a mental baggage of not automatically qualifying for the World Cup 2023, after all they boast of a vibrant cricketing history that even saw a World Cup title win.
Besides that mental barrier, Sri Lanka is also short of its regular players due to a string of injuries. The likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka are all down with their respective injuries and Sri Lanka will have to eak out a win with the limited available resources.
On the other side, Bangladesh has carried a lot of fresh faces for the Asia Cup 2023. The Tigers were able to get better of Sri Lanka the last time they played them in the ODIs, which would instil a lot of confidence in Bangladesh to repeat their feat.
However, the home advantage puts Sri Lanka slightly ahead of Bangladesh in the fixture, which unfolds tomorrow i.e., 31st August. Below is BAN vs SL Dream11 Prediction Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan Playing11, Pallekele Stadium Pitch Report, Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Team.

BAN vs SL Pellekele Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at Pellekele Stadium in Sri Lanka seems to be poised to offer something to both batters and bowlers, who apply themselves. There is enough assistance to the pacers initially and the spinners get decent aid as well. The last ODI played here saw a batter score 162 runs, an all-rounder pick a four-wicket haul and another bowler return with an expensive figure of 3/60.
The BAN vs SL fixture could be curtailed by some rain, as thunderstorms are predicted at the start of the game. The average first innings score at this venue is 248 with teams chasing the total winning majority of matches. 18 times teams batting second have won the game, as opposed to 14 won by the teams batting first.
