Bangladesh will resume their rivalry against Sri Lanka in match No. 2 of the Asia Cup 2023 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Thursday. Both sides have been hit by injuries with Sri Lanka missing four of the front-line bowlers while experienced Bangladesh batters Litton Das and Tamim Iqbal are also ruled out with injury.

The contest has come to be known as ‘Naagin’ dance derby dating back to Bangladesh Premier League in 2018. Sri Lanka bowler Chamika Karunaratne was seen mocking Bangladesh with the ‘Naagin’ dance celebration in the Asia Cup 2022 Super Four match in Dubai.

Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka will be missing from the Sri Lanka lineup in Asia Cup 2023. Dasun Shanaka will bank on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana, who was the second-highest wicket-taker for the Lanka behind Hasaranga in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier in Zimbabwe in June.

The Lankans also have another CSK youngster – Matheesha Pathirana – in the squad and it will be interesting to see if they unleash the slingy pacer in the Asia Cup. Kusal Perera has recovered from COVID-19 and could make his first ODI appearance for the Lankans after 2 years.
