On November 6, cricket fans will witness an exciting match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the 38th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup. The venue of this encounter will be Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Under the leadership of Shakib-ul-Hasan, Bangladesh had a tough run in the tournament and suffered six consecutive defeats. They are ninth out of ten teams with just one victory. Their recent loss to Pakistan has ended their hopes of further progress in the competition.
On the other hand, facing consecutive defeats against Afghanistan and India was not easy for Sri Lanka either. Their recent defeat against India was an embarrassing one, with the team bowled out for 302 runs, largely due to a poor performance by their batsmen.
Pitch Report:
Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium usually favors the batsmen, with dry conditions and short boundaries making it easy to score boundaries. However, as the match progresses, the pitch starts to dry out, giving more support to the spinners. Historically, the team winning the toss often chooses to bat first to set a defensive total.
Head-to-head record:
In their last 53 matches, Sri Lanka have dominated with 42 wins, while Bangladesh have managed to win just nine matches. Two matches ended without a result. The encounter between these teams dates back to 2 April 1986 and the last match was played on 3 September 2003.
