The ODI World Cup 2023 has witnessed a plethora of exciting matches and remarkable performances, and one such encounter awaits cricket enthusiasts as Bangladesh takes on Sri Lanka in match number 38. This day-night clash will be held at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday, November 6, commencing at 2:00 pm IST.
In their last outing, Bangladesh endured a disheartening loss to Pakistan, being defeated by 7 wickets in Kolkata. Batting first, the Bangladeshi side struggled, managing only 204 runs in 45.1 overs. Their bowlers failed to make an impact as Pakistan comfortably chased down the target in just 32.3 overs. This disappointing performance has left Bangladesh with no chance of advancing in the World Cup.
Sri Lanka’s recent performance against India was nothing short of disastrous. They conceded a staggering 357/8 in Mumbai and were then bowled out for a mere 55 runs in just 19.4 overs. This heavy defeat dealt a significant blow to their aspirations for a top-four finish in the tournament. It remains to be seen how Sri Lanka can recover from such a demoralizing defeat.
