It’s the 2021 Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka where 2 Test matches were on the schedule and the 1st Test turned out to be a pretty disappointing one because it was a complete batting track which didn’t allow even 3 innings to be completed. The high scoring game ended in a draw and the visitors Bangladesh are expecting a more result-friendly pitch for the 2nd Test that’s to take place in at the same ground in Pallekele.
We are aware of what kind of team combinations both teams will be looking at but we expect more spinners here because historically, they’ve done pretty well at this ground. Sri Lanka has a great home record in Test matches but at this particular ground, they’ve struggled to get victories. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the SL vs BAN 2nd Test…

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Sri Lanka leads 2-1.

- Saif Hassan scores in the 1st Test Match – 0 and 1.
Sri Lanka
The captain Dimuth Karunaratne has been having a great time in the last year and more in the longest format and even won the Man of the Match award for his 244 in the 1st innings in the last game which has also taken him to becoming the highest scorer at this ground. Pick him in your SL vs BAN fantasy team while Angelo Mathews is a good pick too, who got only 25 in the last game but has a good record here too.
One of surprising aspects of the last game is that none of the Sri Lankan spinners got wickets but we expect a change in the behaviour of the pitch, which means Wanindu Hasaranga must be picked even though he was wicketless in the first game. He can bat as well and is a good option for fantasy captain. Lahiru Kumara has been ruled out of the rest of the series, so DON’T pick him in your SL vs BAN Dream11 team.
Bangladesh
One person who didn’t make hay of the great batting pitch in the last game is Saif Hassan and he may be dropped even though he actually is a great upcoming talent. His opening partner Tamim Iqbal scored 90 and 74* and with all his experience, he should be picked today too. Mushfiqur Rahim won’t be in many teams because he didn’t get an opportunity in the last game but he doesn’t lack experience either.

Talking about spinners, Taijul Islam has been the leading one for Bangladesh over the years in the 5-day format and shouldn’t be left out of your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) SL vs BAN fantasy team. Another person who will have plenty of workload after bowling 58 overs in the 1st innings itself last game is all-rounder Mehidy Hasan and he’s another good fantasy captain or vice-captain option here.
