Sri Lanka (SL) will be looking at much-needed two points when they clash against Bangladesh (BAN) at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday, November 6. Bangladesh will target a consolation win as they were knocked out of the semifinal qualification race after losing against Pakistan in their last game.
Injury-depleted Sri Lankan side remains alive in the knockout race with four points in seven games but face a near-impossible job of finishing in the top four. They suffered a huge 302-run defeat against India in their last game but remain favourites against Bangladesh having won all of their last three ODI encounters.

South Africa registered a record-breaking total of 428 runs against Sri Lanka and Australia put in 399 runs against Netherlands in the most recent game. Spinners have managed to get some help in middle overs in the recent game but it will be batters who will be dictating the match on Monday.
