Bangladesh takes on Sri Lanka at the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi in the third warm-up match for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Both teams were unable to qualify for the World Cup and will compete in the Qualifiers, which begin on October 17.
Bangladesh has recently been on a roll in the shortest format. They won a 4-1 series against Australia at home before going on to win a 3-2 series against New Zealand. In both series, Australia and New Zealand battled against Bangladeshi spinners, who were outstanding.
Prior to the World Cup, Bangladesh had a well-balanced squad. Mahmudullah will continue to captain the team, with Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim set to play key roles in the team’s development.
Sri Lanka, on the other side, has had a good run recently, with an all-around effort resulting in a two-match T20I series whitewashing Oman. In the series, the hitters performed an excellent job for them, with the bowlers stepping up on crucial occasions.
In the Qualifiers, Dasun Shanaka will be the team’s captain, and he’ll be hoping to lead by example and qualify for the World Cup. The Islanders will be trying to turn their fortunes around and make a statement on a global platform after a difficult two years.
