Sri Lanka achieved victory in both of their matches. This claim is easily misconstrued unless you remember how difficult it was for them to defeat Bangladesh by a mere five wickets after having to chase down a low total of 165. In the subsequent game, they came within two runs of letting Afghanistan pull off an incredible robbery before ultimately defeating them by two runs, in part due to the Afghan team's lack of information.
Bangladesh's batting has been an important matter of concern, particularly with the exception of the seasoned duo of Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib al Hasan. Bangladesh's batting has been severely hampered as a result of Nazmul Shanto, who amassed scores of 100 and 89, being forced to leave the tournament owing to a hamstring injury.
If we take a Head-to-head comparison, they have faced off in 52 matches out of which, Sri Lanka came out victorious as many as 41 times whereas Bangladesh won 9 times with 2 matches ending in a draw.

SL vs BAN Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium
Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium is well recognized for heavily favoring spinners. Due to the spin-friendly feature, the game may prove to be sluggish throughout certain stages. The hitters will try to be patient at the beginning of the innings because the average score at this stadium is about 250. In the following Asia Cup Super Four match, choosing to bat first after winning the toss could be the best course of action.
If we overlook the 80% probability of rains in Colombo, the surface normally starts out slow before flattening out and assisting batters. However, given the possibility of rain, teams may think of batting first and put on aggressive batting in order to gain the lead through the DLS method.
