Bangladesh is now on fire having defeated India in their first match of World Cup Cricket 2007. With this win, Bangladesh has created a great chance of advancing into the Super Eight stage for the first time.

Bangladesh’s next match will be against Sri Lanka, who had already defeated Bermuda in their first match with a big margin of 243 runs. I think that Sri Lanka is now also under pressure having seen the first match of Bangladesh. For Bangladesh, it is another chance to prove their talent in this big tournament.

I think batting is the stronger side of both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It seems that their batting will make the difference between the two teams in the match. Now, I am going to analyze the batting of both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Yes, Tamim Iqbal, the stylish young opener of the Bangladesh team, can be the most important batsman for the Bangladeshi batting line up. I think he has the ability to demolish any bowling side of the world. So, he may likely make the difference in the coming match. Moreover, Mushfiqur Rahim and Saquibul Hasan, two heroes of the match against India, can be vital for Bangladesh in the match against Sri Lanka as well. In addition, Mohammad Ashraful and the captain Habibul Bashar are also there with their experience.

On the other hand, Sri Lankan batting line up is a combination of talent and experience. The big name Sanath Jayasuria is one of the six batsmen who have over 10 thousand ODI runs. Captain Mahela Jayawardene is now in a good form and for sure, wicket keeper batsman Kumar Sangakkara is now the best performer of Sri Lankan team with his consistent batting performance. Moreover, please add another name, Chamara Silva, young middle order batsman.

It will be surely a very attractive match. All the people of Bangladesh will pray for an upset.
