Dasun Shanaka’s side will miss the services of Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka – all key bowlers for Sri Lanka – in the Asia Cup 2023. Sri Lanka have won their last 5 ODIs on the trot and remained unbeaten through the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier tournament in Zimbabwe en route to securing their berth for main tournament in India in October.


Bangladesh, on the other hand, have also been hit by injuries to key batters Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das – both of whom are ruled out of the tournament. All-rounder Shakib al Hasan is back in charge after Tamim Iqbal gave up the captaincy.


The clash is also known as ‘Naagin’ derby after Bangladesh’s famous celebration against the same opponent a few years back.
