SL vs BAN Live Score, T20 World Cup Match Today: Get Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Updates at Dallas
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field against Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will meet once again in a World Cup match in the latest iteration of the Naagin derby in the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
The last time these two met at a World Cup, Angelo Matthews got dismissed due to a time-out after an appeal from Bangladesh and there has been no love lost between these rivals. But with a Super 8 place at stake, it would bode for both teams to keep their eyes on the actual prize.
Both teams are not in good form with Sri Lanka losing to South Africa comprehensively after scoring just 77 in their opening encounter while Bangladesh were battered by India in their warm-up fixture.

At the heart of the intrigue are the drop-in pitches that have been far from ideal for a T20 game or a tournament that is seen as cricket’s grand pitch to enter the US market. Largely untested because of the delay in laying them – thanks to the organisational ineptitude of the ICC and USA cricket board – they have been dangerously unpredictable so far. In the India vs Ireland game on Wednesday, at the same venue, India skipper Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant suffered blows on the body because of balls taking off from a good length. Earlier in the same game, a delivery from new-ball bowler Arshdeep Singh had skidded all along the surface.
After the win over Ireland, Rohit wasn’t sure about the kind of pitch they would get for the Pakistan game. “It’s a new ground, a new venue, with a drop-in pitch. We weren’t really aware of what it would be like to play on a pitch that’s just five months old.
