In the second Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team won the toss and decided to bat first. In the second test match, the Sri Lankan team has started fairly well, so far the Sri Lankan team has collected 56 runs without losing any wicket. Sri Lanka's opener duo Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka have started well. Bangladesh bowlers should keep Sri Lanka under pressure from the start so that the Sri Lankan team can't collect too much but if these two batsmen don't take wickets early on then they can be dangerous. I will certainly hope that Bangladesh can do well in today's match so that Sri Lanka can collect very few runs in the second Test match.
Sri Lankan team has done a good batting performance in the second test match. First of course today's match is played by Sri Lankan batsmen. If Bangladesh team can't win today's match then it will be a big disappointment for them and today's match is an important win for Bangladesh. Sri Lanka's two experienced batsmen have formed the opening pair, so they are still at the crease and will continue to add runs as long as they last. And in today's match, if these two cannot get out the opening pair of the bowling line of the Bangladesh team, then the Sri Lankan team can certainly collect more nights. And I think today's match if Sri Lanka team collects 300 plus runs then it will not be possible for Bangladesh to meet such a big target. Since the Sri Lankan team has not lost a wicket yet, it is expected that they will collect good runs in today's Test match, but the bowling performance of the Bangladesh team is currently quite good. Right now Sri Lanka team is 79 runs in 23 overs, and Nishan Madushka has a great half century, and he will be looking to score a century today.

In the second Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan batsmen are scoring very well at the moment. One of their team's two opening batsmen who has already completed his fifty runs will gradually become more aggressive against the Bangladeshi bowlers. The Sri Lankan batsmen have already collected 88 runs and their innings is going on the lunch break at the moment but none of the Bangladeshi bowlers have taken a wicket yet. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto has already bowled six Bangladeshi bowlers to bring a breakthrough but none of them could succeed. Bangladesh bowlers will have to perform well to destroy the Sri Lankan batting line-up as they have started well from the start and are hinting at more runs. We saw in the first test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka that Sri Lanka started badly but two of their team's batsmen pulled their entire team to the port of victory.The Sri Lankan batsmen are following the same path in the second Test match. After the lunch break of this match maybe the Bangladeshi bowlers will pick up wickets by bowling well and they will come back to the game well.

Till now, I think the Sri Lankan team is playing well. Nishan Madushka and Dimuth Karunaratne making a partnership in a very good way but if any player from Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka loses his wicket then understand that now the second player has to start struggling and may cause that another partner who will come after losing the wicket also can lose his wicket due to pressure and pressure came when a player will out in fewer runs. Anyways it's still early in the test but the longer this partnership becomes, the better for the Sri Lankan team.
I think this match also can be won by the SriLanka team due to their good start and if they make at least 150 runs with one wicket down, I think the second player can be played with a good confidence if this happens and also if the second player is Kusal Mendis then we have no problem because, in the last match, he hit centuries in both innings. If he hits a century again today then it will be a very great player who hit back to back three consecutive centuries.
The SriLankan team already made 50 runs in 13 overs they are playing very well. Now, just they are in need of some more runs to complete their full team century. I think Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka will strengthen the game for their team and make the game good for the next batters.
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test match is taking place today and Sri Lanka team is batting in the first innings. In some of the first Test matches, Sri Lanka was brilliant and scored good runs which led to a huge win against Bangladesh. Today's match also Sri Lankan team is showing a tendency to play well from the beginning if they can play like the first match till the end then it will be possible to put pressure on Bangladesh in this match. Anyway today as Bangladesh team will try hard enough to win as they lost the first match badly so they will give good bowling and batting performance to win the second match. And in today's match if Bangladesh team players can perform well from the beginning then Sri Lanka team will be under pressure easily. If the Bangladesh team can get out the two opening batsmen of the Sri Lanka team at this moment, then the run rate will decrease a lot, so the Bangladesh team will have to bowl well. And in today's match, Bangladesh team will definitely try hard to bowl out Sri Lankan team quickly and if they lose wickets quickly, they will surely give a small run lead.
Today is day one of the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh second test match but today at this time, we are not seeing any special incidents till now also first 10 overs were passed and in test cricket 10 overs is like nothing.

Sri Lanka won the toss and quite predictably chose to bat first. And this means that Bangladeshi batsmen will be up against the Lankan spinners on the 4th and 5th days of the match. At this point, Sri Lanka has a definite upper hand, and winning the toss has put them on a further higher ground. If Bangladesh wants to have a chance in this match, then they need to take quick wickets and need to ensure that the Lankan batsmen doesn't get time to dig in. BTW, early indications are that the pitch at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is going to offer a lot of support for the spinners.
Bangladesh can't afford to lose nor draw this test else they will lose this series. To get the advantage of 4th and 5th day, Sri Lanka need to score good runs in first innings. Batting performance of both team is almost same in first test apart from Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis who made the difference. Bangladesh need to get quick wickets and also need to keep an eye on these two SL batters also.
I think the Bangladeshi spin bowlers did great job in first test against Sri Lanka. They did especially well in second part of match when they got 6 Sri Lankan players out. Having Shakib Al Hasan back for second Test will really help Bangladesh. Shakib is talented player who can do well with both batting and bowling. His experience and skills make him important part of team. He can perform well in different situations which makes team stronger. So having Shakib back should give Bangladesh better chance of winning next Test match.
Shakib is at number 3 in ICC men's test ranking of all rounders and his inclusion in second test will give Bangladesh an opportunity to level the series. First day play of second test is underway and Sri Lanka is batting after winning the toss. After 2 overs play Sri Lanka score if 8 runs without losing any wicket. SL need to pay attention to there batting as there batting was pathetic in first test and due to superb batting of Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis they won.

In the first test, Bangladeshi spinners (Taijul Islam) were able to out a Sri Lankan batsman (Vishwa Fernando) in the first innings and all the rest of the batsmen were out by the pacers.
But in the second innings, the Bangladeshi spinners were able to get out 6 Sri Lankan batsmen. So the return of Shakib Al Hasan in the second Test will really act as a bonus point for Bangladesh.
Shakib Al Hasan can perform two types of performances at the same time, so Bangladesh definitely needed Shakib Al Hasan to make a comeback in the second Test.

Ban vs SL
Last fixture of an underrated but full-fledged series. Bongs did win the ODI series but overall they are trailing Lankans 3-4.
Surprisingly, the last test match was dominated by seamers and the margin was quite big but there might be a sign of relief for Bangladesh because Skakib is now in the squad and walks comfortably into the Playing XI and there won't be any surprise if they go back to usual turner for the last match.

Tomorrow, we have a test match that makes us entertained and Sri Lanka is ready to play this test match tomorrow at Chattogram. This pitch condition is such different, that we cannot explain it because it’s an unpredictable pitch. It is the mood of the pitch to provides advantages to bowlers or batsmen. In this pitch, the team that will play better will win the match and after reading these lines you understand that pitch doesn’t matter in this game just to play well. And Bangladesh needs to take full advantage of it and forget about the previous bad performances.
In the last test match, we saw very good performances by Sri Lankan two players hit back-to-back centuries in both innings which gave them very much advantage for them. Such performances don't repeat often and Sri Lanka will have to play well if they want to win this 2nd test too and nothing should be taken for granted.

The pitch will be spinner friendly so it's expected that it wont be a high scoring game. It's a must win game for Bangladesh to level the series otherwise they will lose this home series. The first test was dominated by two Sri Lankan batsmen Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis. Bangladesh bowlers must have some plan with them for these two players. If they both were not restricted in 2nd test, they might once again will take Sri Lanka score too high.
Now if Bangladesh wants some improvement they need to work on their domestic setup and have better structure otherwise they are also going to be had future like Zimbabwe which is now down and out of the game due to lack of structure and better strategy BCB is taking huge funds for the development of the game, but they are not doing anything regarding this for years as mentioned Shakib is also coming back which is also good but alone he can't bring anything positive for his team.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced a new team for the second Test match after losing badly in the first Test match against Sri Lanka. There have been several changes in the new team where the biggest surprise is Shakib Al Hasan returning to Test cricket after almost a long year. Although Shakib Al Hasan is currently the captain of all three formats, he will play under Nazmul Hossain Shanto in the second Test match against Sri Lanka.
The addition of Shakib Al Hasan to the team means that the confidence of every player in the team has increased and it is also an added advantage for Bangladesh. As Shakib Al Hasan is a professional batsman, he is also a professional bowler, so Bangladesh will definitely have an added advantage here.
In the Test ODI and T20 series, we have seen that Bangladesh has felt the absence of Shakib very well, in that case Shakib will give something good for Bangladesh in the second Test match.

Bangladesh team has performed so low class that it is never possible to imagine, usually in T20 matches any team performs better than this. Bangladesh team does not have patient players and could not create any pressure from the bowling side, as a result the Sri Lankan team players took control of the match very easily. The Bangladesh team lacks patient batsmen and experienced bowlers, if the captain of the Bangladesh team can fill this deficiency then it will be possible to win with a unique team.

Bangladesh batted so badly in the first Test match against Sri Lanka that it is only natural that such an attitude will come towards them. If we talk about Bangladesh T20 series against Sri Lanka in T20 series also Bangladesh has performed very well against Sri Lanka but in Test match they have been completely defeated. In the test match against Sri Lanka, the batsmen of Bangladesh should have batted responsibly, because Bangladesh team did not bat responsibly, Bangladesh lost against Sri Lanka in such a bad way. Of course, Bangladesh has to bat responsibly in the second test match. Against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh can bat and bowl responsibly in the second test match So Bangladesh can start the second test match against Lanka with a win, let's see how well Bangladesh can perform in the second test match against Sri Lanka.Jump to:
