Jaded Sri Lanka face Acid Test against Bangladesh


So after the fireworks by Virat Kohli and co. against the Pakistanis last night, Sri Lanka will face Bangladesh tomorrow to get a consolation win and complete the Asia Cup on a high. Bangladesh needs to beat us tomorrow in order to send India home and go to the finals.Deep down, I really hope that happens, I really love to see India go home rather than Sri Lanka winning a useless match, which won't take us to the final anyway. Yet, I am pretty sure Sri Lanka will win this one.  

Bangladesh will be coming out all guns blazing tomorrow and the Sri Lankan Lions will need to be on top of their game if they really want to win their first  and only match of the tournament. Mahela would be hoping that he won't win the toss tomorrow since the tosses he won and decisions he made have played a major role in Sri Lanka's  recent losses. Bangladesh will also get the fullest support from their spectators so it will be a very noisy atmosphere too which will add extra pressure on the home team.

On paper, Sri Lanka are the favorites but the team looks really jaded and tired after a gruesome tour of Australia and the two losses against India and Pakistan.Bangladesh will surely push them till the last ball just like they did to Pakistan as well as during their win against the Indians, so it won't be an easy match in any sense.

Let us hope our Lankan Lions can win and get some good momentum ahead of the much awaited series against the Englishmen. 

Go Sri Lanka !!

Cheers!!
