Sri Lanka is an entirely different team when they play at home. Bangladeshi batsmen are in trouble. After 8 over, they are struggling at 25/2, with Najmul Hossain Shanto at the crease along with Shakib Al Hasan. Mohammad Naim and Tanzid Hasan are already back in pavilion. Sri Lankan bowlers (especially their spinners) have been wonderful, and so far Maheesh Theekshana and Dhananjaya de Silva have picked up one wicket apiece. Now we need to remember that Hasaranga is not playing in this match, so the Bangladeshi batsmen will get an opportunity to face less experienced bowlers soon.
The batsmen of Bangladesh have not been able to prove the right to win the toss against Sri Lanka and decide to bat so far because Bangladesh is under batting pressure against Sri Lanka so far. Bangladesh have managed to score 65 runs for three wickets by batting 16 overs so far. Bangladesh suffered a batting disaster after losing early wickets which Nazmul Hussain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy are trying to overcome. Currently the match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is suspended due to rain. As the rain is not too much, it is expected that play will resume soon. Right now, Bangladesh needs a good partnership. If Bangladesh can do a good partnership, then definitely the end of Bangladesh will be good.

Bangladesh team's batting start is disappointing. In 1.2 overs of the game, the opening batsman of the Bangladesh team, Tanzid Hasan, played 2 balls and got out for 0 runs.

As a Bangladeshi, I would like to make a comment today, until Bangladesh cricket can get out of the ring of corruption, it will not be possible to equip Bangladesh squad with good players. How is this change coming in Bangladesh's opening pair, Tanzid Hasan who defended only two balls was appealed LBW in two consecutive balls and finally got out LBW for 0 runs. This is how the player made his debut in the Bangladesh squad. Cricket in Bangladesh will not improve as long as there are corrupt people in the management of Bangladesh.

One of Bangladesh's opening batsmen Tamim Iqbal is not in the squad and Liton Das is not in today's match, Bangladesh's opening batting has not been good. New batsman Tanzid Hasan is out lbw. At the moment, Bangladesh has collected 11 runs in 4 overs after losing 1 wicket. I think Bangladesh have to target 300+ runs to win today's match. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can give the target in the end. Screenshot taken from Cricbuzz

Sri Lanka should comfortably defeat Bangladesh unless there are some crazy upsets. They are missing some of their star players like Hasaranga etc, but they should be fine primarily due to home ground advantage.
India vs Pakistan is what I am mainly excited for later this week. The last time they played against each other was way back in 2022.

Sri Lanka obviously has an advantage. But that doesn't mean that today's match will be as one sided as the one between Nepal and Pakistan yesterday. Bangladesh's main players, including Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan and Taskin Ahmed are available for this match. Sri Lanka has no room for complacence. At the same time, Sri Lanka also has fielded a full-strength side, with Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana and Dhananjaya de Silva named in the playing XI. But even then, the absence of Wanindu Hasaranga will be felt.

Asia Cup starts today Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka game starts at 3:30 PM at Parle Clay in. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan says Sri Lankan team is undoubtedly eternally strong but we will try to start the first match with a win. Meanwhile, Tamim Iqbal Liton Das is not able to play due to the engine, it may affect the team because these three important batsmen are not playing. Undoubtedly, the bowling of the Lankans is very good, so the Tigers of Bangladesh should watch their ball and bat well and play a good game. Finally, those who play well on the field will win. Of course, best wishes for the Bangladesh team. May they play well and win.
This is an important Group B match for both of the teams, Srilanka and Bangladesh. Since the match will be played in Srilanka, i think they will have the home advantage. Group B has some tough competitive teams and no team can afford to lose matches in this group.Actually it is really difficult to predict this match. If you compare the overall condition of these two teams in recent times, then Bangladesh team can be considered as favourite. But the problem is that there is no consistency in the performance of the players of this team. You know there is no player in the team who is capable of batting responsibly.
On the other hand the problem in Sri Lanka is almost the same. Despite having a lot of star players in the squad, they cannot bat responsibly. I think both teams have equal chances of winning. I actually don't think Sri Lanka home match will give them any extra advantage. Perhaps if the pitch is spin friendly it will be more beneficial for Bangladesh. And so the Sri Lankan team will not be able to take much advantage of the home ground.

Group B is obviously much more tougher compared to the other group, because all three teams are full member nations. In Group A, it is clear that India and Pakistan will qualify for the Super-4 stage, because the third team is very weak (Nepal). In Group B, they have Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and the competition is going to me much tighter. For today's match, Sri Lanka would be the overwhelming favorites. They have momentum with them, and the home advantage is going to play a very important part.

The opening match of Asia Cup took place yesterday where Nepal and Pakistan faced each other and Pakistan secured a big win against Nepal. Today is the first match of Group B and the second match of Asia Cup. Sri Lanka is the opponent of Bangladesh in the only match today, like yesterday there was a fight between a tough opponent and an easy opponent today but the fight is exceptional because today the fight will be equal tiger and lion will fight today. As you said many players in Bangladesh are injured right now like Tamim Iqbal as well as Ebadat Hossain and Liton Kumar Das got injured just before the start of the Asia Cup although Liton Kumar Das is unable to play in the Asia Cup due to fever and instead got a place in the team Anamul Haque. Liton Das is a classical batsman of Bangladesh so his absence may cause some problems in Bangladesh's batting lineup. Best of luck to both the teams hope both the teams give their best performance and the best to best performance will win today.

The match win against Nepal is a much expected one. Nepal players couldn't stay longer against the bowling attack from the Pakistan bowlers. In the match Babar Azam registered his second highest score scoring 151 runs. Ifthikhar made his maiden ODI century and the score reached 342/6. The record of highest 5th wicket partnership is made by Babar Azam and Ifthikhar pair-214 runs. Nepal wasn't able to chase the massive target and ended the innings for just 104 runs and Pakistan won the match by 238 runs.
Pakistan is the no.1 ranked team in ODIs, according to the ICC ranking. So it was not surprising. But the performance from Nepal was quite disappointing. They had a good start, and at one point they had Pakistan struggling at 25/2. And when Agha Salman got out, they were 124/4 after 27.5 overs. At this point, it looked as if Nepal maybe able to restrict Pakistan to a total of around 250 to 300. But Nepal bowlers crumbled under pressure during the last 15 overs or so, and Pakistan ended up with such a massive total (342/6).

Everyone was expecting that Pakistan will win the match easily and Pakistan did according to the expectations. But this Nepal team don't have much experience. So Pakistan win the match easily. There are some big matches with India Sri Lanka so there we will see how Pakistan will perform and I hope Pakistan will perform well.

The first match of the Asia Cup between Pakistan and Nepal. After winning the toss Pakistan set a huge target of 343 runs in loss of 6 Wickets in 50 Overs. What a batting performance by Pakistani Team Openers struggling to score and out in just 25 runs in 6.1 overs but After Babar Azam came and scored 151 runs a beautiful inning with 14 fours and 4 sixs. Ifthkar Ahamd also scored a median century in just 67 balls. He scored 109 runs unbeaten at just 71 balls and reached Pakistan total of 342 runs. Nepal has very poor bowling and fielding performance. While chasing down Nepal has current score is 84 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in just 18 Overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rouf both picked up 2, 2 wickets and Naseem Shah picked up 1 wicket. Pakistan will easily win this match by huge runs.
The winner of this game will be the Pakistan.Because the recent match of Pakistan against the Afghanistan was good,So the Pakistan players was in full form.So the Nepal is not going to tough for them.And Nepal undergo the secret practice in their country.So we don’t know the exact game of the Nepal team for now.If the Nepal in the good form,it will teach the good lesson in the first game itself.We have to wait and watch,wheather the Nepal going to be game changer or going to give free points to all the team.Based on the live score the team Nepal had loss his ten wickets in 23.4 overs.Nepal not even complete the 25 overs of 50 over match.
One hell of an innings by Iftikhar Ahmed who scored his maiden international century and as usual their most consistent player Babar Azam played the captains innings and a partnership of 214 runs which was incredible for the 5th wicket and helped in taking the team to an impossible target for a team like Nepal. Nepal is struggling to get past 100 runs as they already lost their 6th wicket and it is going to be a huge win for Pakistan.
It is not possible for Nepal to win this match. Because they have already lost 9 wickets and scored only 104 runs while Pakistan gave them a target of 342 runs. Pakistan is a very good team and Pakistan is very likely to win this year's Asia Cup. So Nepal is not a strong opponent for them. And Pakistan is winning this match very easily. Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. Bangladesh is preparing hard for itfull member

Captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat against Nepal in the opening match of the Asia Cup, but two openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam-Ul-Haq did not get off to a good start. Fakhar Zaman was dismissed after only 21 runs, after which Imam-Ul-Haq was dismissed after 25 runs. Then Babar Azam and Rizwan formed a great partnership and made the team score much bigger. Babar Azam scored 151 runs in 131 balls in his first match. His confidence increased many times in the next matches of the Asia Cup. Pakistan beat Nepal by a huge margin of 238. Congratulations to the Pakistan team.
Pakistan did not get off to a good start but managed to set a huge target of 342 runs. Babar Azam scored 151 runs and Iftikhar scored 109 runs off just 71 balls. Rizwan's innings of 44 runs was also much needed. Pakistan collected more than 120 runs in the last 10 overs. Iftikhar's batting impressed everyone. We were sure that Pakistan will win against Nepal. But I didn't think that Pakistan would beat Nepal by a huge margin of 238 runs. Both batsmen and bowlers of Pakistan are in very good form now. Pakistan team seems to be the most favorite in this year's Asia Cup. Pakistan team's recent performance is quite strong and stable than India.
One hell of an innings by Iftikhar Ahmed who scored his maiden international century and as usual their most consistent player Babar Azam played the captains innings and a partnership of 214 runs which was incredible for the 5th wicket and helped in taking the team to an impossible target for a team like Nepal. Nepal is struggling to get past 100 runs as they already lost their 6th wicket and it is going to be a huge win for Pakistan.
Well, Pakistan started this match nervously but they ended up with a very strong win by a big margin. Baber Azam 151 runs was a mature innings while Iftikhar Ahmed runs showed the Pakistan's batting depth. This may be an eye opener for other teams in the tournament and they can't take the home team lightly.
But most of the matches will be played in Srilanka (except 4) and hence the home ground will be of Srilanka and we will see how the players will bat there on that pitch.
