Match Prediction
Sri Lanka is favorite kyunki unka recent form aur home advantage (18/33 ODI jeet chasing at Pallekele) unhe majboot karta hai. Bangladesh ko bada score ya tight bowling chahiye. Pallekele mein average 1st innings score 248 hai, aur 300+ target defend karna mushkil hota hai. Prediction: Sri Lanka 70% jeetne ki sambhavna, Bangladesh 25%, tie 5%.
