Sri Lanka have won just twice in the tournament so far, against England and Netherlands. Their last match saw them routed by 302 runs after being bowled out by India for just 55 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Bangladesh have endured a torrid time at the World Cup, winning just their opening game before losing six on the spin. Their performances have been far from the required standard, and now the focus for both them and Sri Lanka will be to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Top fantasy picks and tips for BAN vs SL
Sadeera Samarawickrama: Wicket-keeper
Sri Lanka's latest batting innings ended in disaster, but that match against India notwithstanding, Sadeera Samarawickrama has emerged as a reliable option in the middle order for his side.
He currently sits at 11th in the run-scoring charts for the tournament, with 331 runs in 7 innings including a superb 108 against Pakistan, and fifties against Netherlands (91*) and England (65*). Batting in the middle overs, his strike rate of 103 in this competition is also an impressive part of his game.
Mahmudullah: Batter
In nearly every team, there are players that are outliers; who seem to raise their game on the biggest stage. For Bangladesh, that player is Mahmudullah.
A middle and lower-order batter with a career average of 36, Mahmudullah's World Cup record reads 890 runs in just 20 innings at an average of 55.6. In this tournament, he has played 5 innings of 41*, 46, 111, 20 and 56 which have all been in losing causes. Nevertheless, he remains a solid option in a fantasy XI.
Dilshan Madushanka: Bowler
Amid a disappointing World Cup campaign for Sri Lanka, left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka has been one of the stand-out players.
His wicket-taking ability has been on show in the tournament, with his tally of 18 wickets so far the second-highest of any bowler. His 5/80 against India in the last game may have been an expensive spell, but he was the only Lankan bowler that threatened the Men in Blue.
