Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka (BAN vs SL) 2nd ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Having taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series, hosts Bangladesh are all set to take on visitors Sri Lanka in the second ODI at Sher e Bangla Stadium in Dhaka.

With Mehidy Hasan’s 4-30 in the first match, Bangladesh had cruised to a 33-run victory on Sunday. Bangladesh went into the opening game having lost 9 of 10 matches across three formats with one draw. The second ODI is scheduled to take place today and it’s a must-win affair for the visitors. Bangladesh, on the other hand, would be looking to pocket the series.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka, who sit at the bottom of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League table with zero wins in the four matches, have two these ODIs before them to take the series and the scope to grab 20 points essential for their plain sailing to ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

“It is a must win situation but we aren’t putting too much pressure on ourselves. If you are playing as a batsman, you have to pull up your soks and play your roles. Same team.”

“We’ll bat first again. It looks a similar wicket and there was some turn and something for the fast bowlers in the evening in the last game. We play okay in the last game. Those getting 60s and 70s need to get a big score when they are set. But it is extremely hot and it is difficult to play in these confitions. Two changes – Shoriful makes his debut in place of Taskin, and Mosaddek comes in as well”

Hello and welcome to the live cricket action between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the second ODI of the three-match ODI series. Bangladesh opt to bat again and have handed a debut to Shoriful Islam, by leaving out Taskin Ahmed. One more change: Mosaddek Hossain replaces Mohammad Mithun. Sri Lanka are unchanged.
