The forthcoming match will be Bangladesh's first of the competition. The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side was scheduled to play two warm-up games before the World Cup, but their first game against co-hosts the United States was called off due to rain without a ball being bowled. They played their other warmup game against India and were hammered by the Men in Blue, losing by 60 runs
On the other hand, the WaninduHasaranga-led side was up against South Africa in their first league encounter and they were crushed by the Proteas. The Lankans could only score 77 runs in their first innings and lost the game by six wickets with 22 balls to spare. With both teams running low on confidence due to dismal performances in their previous games, both sides will be eager to register a win.
