Match: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka
Date & Time: 13 Sep, 08:00 PM IST
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Tournament: T20I
Recent form:
Bangladesh: W L L W L (mixed; only 1 win in last 3)
Sri Lanka: W L W W (strong upswing)
H2H trend: SL have won the last 2 meetings.
Situation split:
When SL bat first: 4W–1L → handle scoreboard pressure well.
When SL chase: 3W–1L → comfortable chasing.
When BAN bat first: 1W–4L → vulnerable setting totals.
When BAN chase: 3W–2L → slightly better.
Verdict: Sri Lanka enter as slight favorites thanks to form, H2H edge, and better split in both batting-first and chasing scenarios.
Team | Win % |
---|---|
Sri Lanka | 58% |
Bangladesh | 42% |
Surface: Labeled Balanced, but pacers have the fantasy edge.
Avg 1st Inns Score: 172
Avg wickets/innings: ~6
Toss: Teams choose to chase ~90%; wins chasing ~60%
Bowling Type Impact (Fantasy pts/over):
Overall: Pace 12.6 vs Spin 8.5
1st inns: Pace 10.3 vs Spin 9.2
2nd inns: Pace 15.3 vs Spin 7.6
Boundaries: ~65m square, ~76m straight → top-edge value for short square; yorkers/pace-off at the death effective.
Prioritize pacers, especially bowling 2nd.
Mixed build (bat + bowl) still fine, but lean 6 bowlers/all-rounders if you expect a chase.

Player | Role | FPts (L5) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
N Thushara | BOW | 225 | Death specialist; 5/5 Dream Teams recently |
W Hasaranga | AR | 459 | Ceiling pick: wkts + late hits |
D Chameera | BOW | 374 | New-ball threat, pacey deck friendly |
P Nissanka | BAT | 316 | Powerplay anchor; 7/7 PerfectLineups in a run |
Kusal Mendis | WK | 233 | High involvement; H2H monster (588 in last 8) |
M Theekshana | BOW | 247 | PP control; bonus if it grips |
M Pathirana | BOW | 278 | Slinger at the death; wicket-taking bursts |
Player | Role | FPts (L5) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Taskin Ahmed | BOW | 541 | Red-hot form; wickets in clusters |
Rishad Hossain | BOW | 217 | Strike leggie; form 66 avg in team L5 set |
Liton Das | WK | 339 | Venue 113 in last outing; PP scorer |
T Hasan Sakib | BOW | 327 | Impact vs HK; venue 111 |
Mustafizur Rahman | BOW | 314 | Death overs + cutters suit Abu Dhabi |
Towhid Hridoy | BAT | 153 | Middle-order stability; can cash if chasing |
Parvez Hossain Emon | BAT | 280 | Hit-or-miss differential at the top |
Venue recency: BAN players own the tiny on-ground sample (Liton 113, T Hasan Sakib 111, Rishad 87). Treat as supportive, not decisive.
PP batting: Nissanka, Kusal Mendis — stable base; Mendis’ boundary rate lifts the floor.
Middle: Hasaranga/Asalanka — matchup breakers.
Death bowling: Thushara, Chameera/Pathirana — highest ceiling zone for SL bowlers.
PP batting: Liton, Tanzid/Emon — if one sticks, quick 35–45 is on.
Middle: Hridoy, Mehidy — rotate, target 6–8 RPO.
Death bowling: Mustafizur + Taskin — prime wicket phase; Rishad can nick one if SL accelerate.
Primary: Wanindu Hasaranga (AR, SL) — multi-utility; safe captain in balanced/slow decks.
High-ceiling Bowlers: Taskin Ahmed (BAN), Nuwan Thushara (SL) — both have multi-wicket trends; venue favors pace.
Batting Anchors: Kusal Mendis (SL), Pathum Nissanka (SL) — especially if SL chase.
Dushmantha Chameera (SL): PP + late over; under-picked vs Thushara.
Rishad Hossain (BAN): Wrist spin threat to RH-dominant SL middle.
Parvez Hossain Emon (BAN): Boom/bust; leverage in small boundaries square.
Maheesh Theekshana (SL): If SL bowl first, PP dots → bonus economy.
Build assumption: Neutral surface leaning to pace; toss likely to bowl first.
WK (1): Kusal Mendis
BAT (3): Pathum Nissanka, Liton Das, Towhid Hridoy (alt: Parvez Hossain Emon for higher risk)
AR (2): Wanindu Hasaranga (C), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (role flexibility)
BOWL (5): Nuwan Thushara (VC), Taskin Ahmed, Dushmantha Chameera, Mustafizur Rahman, Maheesh Theekshana
Bench/Alt swaps (match-ups):
If BAN bowl second: Rishad Hossain ↔ Mehidy/Theekshana (prefer Rishad vs RHs).
If SL bring Pathirana: Pathirana ↔ Chameera (death bias).
If BAN pick Tanzid Hasan: consider Tanzid ↔ Hridoy for chasing builds.
If SL bowl 2nd (most likely with a chase preference): Stack Thushara + Chameera/Pathirana, keep Hasaranga (C), and Mendis/Nissanka as batting core.
If BAN bat first: Fade one BAN top-order bat; double down on Taskin + Mustafizur. Keep Hasaranga for middle-overs + death batting cameo.
If the pitch looks drier than expected: Upgrade Theekshana and Rishad; consider Hasaranga even more locked as C.
Grand League punts: Emon (PP burst), Shanaka (match-up finisher), Rishad (3-for potential).
Captaincy ladder:
Hasaranga (all formats)
N. Thushara (best when bowling 2nd)
Taskin Ahmed (form + venue pace premium)
Kusal Mendis (safe if chasing)
Good luck—build around pace and death-overs exposure, and pivot quickly once XIs/toss are out!
