It will be a battle between the pace attacks of Bangladesh and Sri lanka as the two teams square off in a crucial round robin league match of the Asia Cup T20 here on Sunday.
The match assumes significance as the winner will take a giant step towards qualifying for the summit clash of the tournament.
For Bangladesh, a victory is a must as they have already played two matches winning one and losing against India in the opener.
Both the teams beat minnows United Arab Emirates. Sri lanka did not need much effort even though the margin of their victory was 14 runs while Bangladesh were more convincing in their 51-run win.
But both teams had poor outing as far as their batsmen are concerned. Sri lanka managed 129 against an inexperienced UAE attack while Bangladesh were no better in their 133-run effort on Friday.
It will be a battle of bowlers with Sri lanka being led by their dashing captain lasith Malinga, who rocked the opposition with a four-wicket haul.
Mustafizur Rahaman had an off day against India, but against UAE, he showed why he is rated so highly as he was on the verge of a hat-trick. So it will be a contest between Malinga's toe-crushers and Mustafizur's variations.
Meanwhile, Sri lanka Cricket (SlC) has expressed disappointment at former captain Mahela Jayawardene taking up the role of consultant with the England team for the upcoming WT20.
SlC president Thilanga Sumathipala termed Jayawardene's decision "sad and disappointing", even though it will be for just 10 days.
Interestingly, both Sri lanka and Eggland are clubbed in the same group.
