Preview:

In a virtual knockout clash, Sri Lanka will face Bangladesh in the 5^th match of the Asia Cup 2022 on Thursday. Sri Lanka made a horrendous start to this competition with an embarrassing defeat over Afghanistan by 8 wickets. They didn’t apply themselves on a given day, and the shot selection was way too bad, which all added to their humiliating loss. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Chamika Karunaratne showed some resistance which helped them to get past the 100 run-mark. They are expecting more runs from their top 3 batters in this significant game. Even their bowlers should show some spirit and support their batters.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, had significant control over the match against Afghanistan however Najibullah Zadran’s late cameo took the game away from them as a result they lost by 7 wickets with 9 balls remaining. On a surface that was keeping low, they did well to get 127 runs on the board thanks to Mosaddek Hossain’s late fireworks who hit 4 fours and a six. Both sides have real match winners and it’s all about who performs well according to the situation. It’s a must-win game for them to make it to the Super 4.

What is the pitch report for SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022, Match 5?

The wicket is still on the slower side, the batters need to give themselves some time at the start to accelerate at the late end of the innings. Anything over 160 will be an ideal total to defend here.

What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022, Match 5?

Top Pick – Batter

Despite wickets were falling on the other hand, Bhanuka Rajapaksa stood strong against the Afghan bowlers and scored 38 runs at a strike rate of 131.03. He is a natural stroke maker and his inclusion in the fantasy teams will be a good option.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

No doubt that Shakib Al Hasan is one of the best all-rounders across all the formats. He fall cheaply for 11 runs against Afghanistan but made it up for that with his tight bowling where he picked up one wicket at an economy of 3.25.

Top Pick – Bowlers

Maheesh Theekshana wasn’t effective with the ball like he used to be in the last game against Afghanistan where he went at 8.75 runs an over without picking a single wicket. You can still back and include him in your fantasy teams.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Kusal Mendis was trapped in front for just 2 runs against Afghanistan. We can expect much improved performances from him in this game.

X-Factor:

It’s an ideal format for Wanindu Hasaranga to prove his talent. He didn’t have the best of matches against Afghanistan where he got for just 2 runs and managed to pick up a wicket.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022, Match 5?

1. Mushfiqur Rahim, Kusal Mendis, Mahmudullah, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (c), Charith Asalanka, Shakib Al Hasan (vc), Mosaddek Hossain, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mustafizur Rahman, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana

2. Mushfiqur Rahim (vc), Afif Hossain, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Pathum Nissanka, Shakib Al Hasan, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Mustafizur Rahman, Mohammad Saifuddin, Maheesh Theekshana
