Preview:

Sri Lanka Under-23s and Bangladesh Under-23s, both the sides have already qualified for the finals of 2019 South Asian Games. However, it will be a tussle between both to finish at the top in the league table.

The young Tigers have gone unbeaten so far in the ongoing tournament. With the likes of Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Naim and Najmul Hassan Shanto, their batting line up is in red hot form, who have been piling up big runs. On the other hand, in bowling Afif Hossain and Tanvir Islam have given some convincing performances with the ball.

For Islanders, Kamindu Mendis has performed exceedingly well with the bat. He has already got a century in the tournament and is playing in his top-notch form. However, they need to fill the voids in their bowling before going if they want to outclass Tigers in the final group game.

Weather Condition/Report:

There are no chances of rain and it is expected to be a perfect day for a cricket match. However, the temperature is expected to range between 19 and 22 Degree Celsius according to Accuweather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The wicket at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground will most likely go in favour of batsmen according to the trends being followed in the tournament. But, spinners will also play an important role in the later part of the game.
