It’s Match 5 of the 2022 Asia Cup and we’re back to play in Dubai where India’s win against Hong Kong yesterday was the only game in the last many T20I matches here where the team batting first was victorious. However, bowling first after the toss is still very crucial here as Sri Lanka takes on Bangladesh and both of them lost their opening game of the tournament, so this game is a do-or-die for both teams involved.
Sri Lanka lost the opening game of the tournament to Afghanistan and a couple of days later, Bangladesh suffered the same fate against the same team. Both of them got sub-par scores and weren’t able to defend them, so whoever bats first will be looking for a total of 150+ if they want to stay competitive and in the tournament.

Sri Lanka
He got a score of only 2 runs against Afghanistan but Kusal Mendis got four consecutive 30+ scores including two fifties in his last four games in the SLC Invitational T20 tournament before this Asia Cup began. He’s been in good Test form too, so we’re adding him to our SL vs BAN fantasy team. Bhanuka Rajapaksa can pick up the pace excellently in the T20 format and has experience in several franchise leagues, so you can pick him as well.
With the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga is a must have in everyone’s SL vs BAN Dream11 team because there hasn’t been a single tournament where he hasn’t made an impact. With the top order collapsing regularly, Hasaranga is likely to contribute with the bat too. Maheesh Theekshana had a brilliant IPL 2022 season and he’s been tough to pick up by batsmen, especially in the powerplay overs of a T20 game.
Bangladesh
Having picked up 4 wickets in his last 5 T20Is, Mahedi Hasan hasn’t picked up too many wickets but he’s been consistent and an added bonus is that he bats in the lower middle order, and can add to your fantasy points tally for sure. This is a spinner track and Shakib Al Hasan was brilliant with his 1/13 in four overs, though in a losing cause. He loves the big stage tournaments and a contribution from him is a must.

An option for the MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) SL vs BAN fantasy team captain or vice-captain is Mosaddek Hossain who top scored for them with 48* in the last game but was also thrown the ball, getting 1/12 in his spell of 2.3 overs. In the middle order, the young Afif Hossain has been contributing regularly with the bat and he’s someone we don’t want to leave out as he changes gears perfectly.
