Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Bangladesh having good start with things were going into their favour bowlers were on target, but sadly they fail to take full advantage of this situation and bring themselves to the back-foot which is their own fault, and now they need to be patience and good at batting if they want to have something from this first test match while we have Sri Lanka at the 57 for 5 my feeling was they could be gone under 150 but two centuries bring them into game and 280 is good score in these conditions but sadly in reply we have Bangladesh also down with early breakthrough bring them down again and now things are on level for the both sides tomorrow first session is going to be important for the both sides with Sri Lanka can bring themselves into game if they are able to take few early wickets which will be enough for having good lead.

De Silva and Mendis' responsible batting made Sri Lanka big. A collection of 280 runs on this pitch is what I would call a big collection. Because this pitch cannot be called completely batting friendly. Bowlers get a lot of support from this pitch. So after collecting 280 runs, Sri Lanka will definitely be in the safe zone. And if the Sri Lankan bowlers bowl well, Sri Lanka will be able to take a big lead.

Sri Lanka started their innings very badly. As usual, Bangladesh's top order batsmen's performance today is also very poor. The Bangladeshi top order could not bat well and at the end of the first day, Bangladesh collected only 32 runs with the loss of three wickets. Bangladesh lost three wickets in just 8 overs. Let's see how the Bangladesh team started today.

Bangladesh's batting in Test format is very boring to watch. Bangladesh got a chance to bat only 10 overs on the first day. And Bangladesh team lost three wickets in 10 overs. And Bangladesh cannot start the second day well. Bangladesh lost the wicket of Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Joy returned to the dressing room with just 12 runs.

Sri Lanka managed to collect only 280 runs. But looking at the batting of Bangladesh, it seems that Bangladesh will not be able to collect even 200 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh team managed to collect 65 runs after losing 4 wickets. Taijul and Shahadat are now at the crease. There are still two experienced batsmen like Liton and Miraz. Bangladesh can score high if these two batsmen play well.

In the first test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the captain of Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first, which was well used by the bellers of Bangladesh. Bangladesh's bowlers put in a very good performance which allowed Sri Lanka to bowl out for 280 runs. Sri Lanka's 280-run leader came down to bat, Bangladesh's batsmen of the first sari are all out, Bangladesh is again suffering from batting failure. The way Bangladesh are batting, it seems that they will not be able to complete the game of the second innings. Now Bangladesh's last hope is Taijul Islam and Liton Das. If these two batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can pass the 280 runs given by Sri Lanka and give Sri Lanka a new lead. Otherwise, Bangladesh will end the game in a very bad way in their first innings. But Liton Das should bat responsibly as Liton Das has not proved himself in ODI so if he can give his best performance in Test match then surely he can come back in ODI format then he has to utilize today's match and bat well.

With 7 wickets down it's seems very unlikely that Bangladesh will be able to collect 200 runs. It's also very likely that Sri Lanka might get lead of 100 or more runs in first innings and that will make them favourite for this test. Earlier we saw poor batting from Sri Lanka also but they have the benefit that Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis both scored centuries otherwise Sri Lanka too have similar fate like Bangladesh in first innings.

Sri Lanka gave a target of only 280 runs to Bangladesh it was a very normal target for a test match but Bangladesh have scored 141 runs so far but 7 wickets have fallen they still need 139 more runs for 3 wickets. I don't think it is possible for Bangladesh to collect 139 runs for these 3 wickets. So Sri Lanka will win this match. But still Sri Lanka should not play carelessly because Bangladesh can collect high runs by getting easy balls  So Sri Lanka should still focus on the game till Bangladesh lose all their wickets

In first test match Sri Lanka All Out in scored 280 runs against Bangladesh in first innings of first day test match. At start of first session, Sri Lanka didn't perform well give 5 quick wickets in just low runs but the partnership of Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis is match-changing for sri Lanka. Both played good innings especially Dhananjaya de Silva batting performance was outstanding scored a hundred and 102 runs and Kusal Mendis also scored an amazing score of 102 runs and helped his team reach 280 runs. Bangladesh current score is 32 runs in loss of 3 wickets in just 10 overs of the match.

At this time, Bangladesh had a very good chance to win but also Sri Lankan team did not come slow in the department of their bowlers where they had learned just a lesson which was just to take the wickets and nothing. Today we are seeing them play in a very better way and if this type of play continues then it will be great for Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh had to catch up 170 runs which I think they cannot chase without facing difficulties because at this time, their bowlers are on fire mood and they will not stop as we are seeing their bowling. It is the test match that’s why we don’t expect to see back-to-back wickets but in this match after some overs, they start to pick wickets and give as little a score as they can. The match seems to be in the balance at the moment and I think a lot will depend on how both teams bat in the 2nd innings.

There is no doubt that the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled very well in the first session yesterday. Sri Lanka's quick collapse was due to the excellent bowling of the Bangladeshi bowlers. However, Sri Lanka managed to collect 280 runs thanks to two brilliant centuries by Dhananjaya De Silva and Mendis.

As usual we saw poor batting from the Bangladeshi batsmen. None of the batsmen in the squad could bat responsibly and stay at the crease for long. I thought I would see better batting from Liton and Miraz. But Liton got out for 25 and Miraz scored only 11 runs.

Bangladesh has now collected 188 runs after losing 9 wickets. Bangladesh team is still behind by 92 runs. It does not seem that Bangladesh will be able to collect up to 200 runs.

Sri Lanka's three bowlers Fernando, Rajitah and Kumara bowled well. Each managed to pick up three wickets.

Bangladesh's innings stopped at 188 runs. Sri Lanka team got a lead of 92 runs. And after getting such a big lead, Sri Lanka's chances of winning are now high.

We did not see the expected good performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. A collection of only 188 runs cannot be called a good collection. Taijul scored the maximum 47 runs for the team. Besides, experienced batsmen like Shanto, mominul, Liton and Miraz can't bat well. Bangladesh team is not able to do well in test format even at home ground. Sri Lanka is not a very strong team. Even then, the performance of Bangladesh's players is poor.

Impressive Sri Lankan seamers bring Bangladesh down with their line and length which is good from them with now things are completely under control of the visitors they have 92 runs lead and now having their second inning in just 2 days we have 20 wickets with mostly seamers are in well control which is good for the game and both teams, but Bangladesh is surely needed to improve their batting quality which is bringing them down badly in last few months just Tajul Islam having 42 runs with all others gone cheaply.

Now we have nearly ~30 overs left in second day play so we can expect some more wickets for the Bangladesh they needed to be aggressive if they want to fight back this third session is going to be important for the both sides because if Sri Lanka able to secure 250+ runs lead then surely match could be out of the control for the home side.

As I told that Bangladesh will be in trail 30-50 runs but its 92. 2nd innings started and srilanka lost their 1st wicket which is not a good sign. Kushal mendis should play safe. Then can can through 400-450 runs target. Lets see what happen today.

It was really a worst performance from Bangladesh team. As a Test format match, Sri Lanka did not set much target in the first innings but could not touch Bangladesh's team. In fact, the main point is that the team line-up for the test match of the Bangladesh team is very bad. I think that if the squad of the ODI format of Bangladesh is kept in the squad of the test match instead of keeping you in this line, then Bangladesh can play a little better in the test format. However, even though Bangladesh won the last ODI series, I don't think Bangladesh can do much in the Test series and Bangladesh will definitely lose in this match.
Currently Sri Lanka start there any number second batting and there current score is 27 run with falling of one wicket.

In the second innings of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, we all witnessed the batting disaster of Bangladesh. We did not expect such a bad performance from the few batsmen of Bangladesh in this test match. But the bowlers have batted better than the main batsmen of the Bangladesh team. Looking at the batting performance of Bangladesh, the surprising fact is that none of the batsmen could play with patience and even score a half-century. But Taijul Islam is saving a little bit of respect as he managed to score 47 runs.

Sri Lanka have already started their second innings with two wickets falling in 32 runs and they are also walking the same path as Bangladesh. Sri Lanka team leads Bangladesh by 125 runs, they still have enough chances to extend their innings and maybe they will do that and give Bangladesh a tough target. If the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team can give the Bangladesh team a target of 400 runs in this test match, then the Bangladesh team might be defeated.

Sri Lanka lost two wickets in the second innings, so if wickets continue to fall, they will never be able to give Bangladesh a target of 400 to 500 runs. Because Bangladesh team is also very strong in terms of bowling, since in this match they did not perform well in keeping the wicket, but Bangladesh team will definitely perform well in the second innings. Especially in this match, due to the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, the bowling line of the Bangladesh team has become weak. That is why the Sri Lankan team is getting the chance to score more runs which is a danger for the Bangladeshi team.

I think Sri Lanka going to make a bad performance on second innings they lose their four wicket before 100 runs. They are current run is only about 68 run and current branded is only 3.09. therefore top order batsman already got out no one makes a at least a good performance today. This boy nahid Rana doing good his bowling he took two big wickets of Sri Lanka. I think this much result will going for a draw.

It's second day and the game is turning into a low scorer and quick one. We might get the results in the 3rd day.
As expected, the bad batting of Bangladesh continued in the second day. None of the players from Bengali side made even a fifty. On being all out, the Bengali team were already trailing 90+ runs. Sri Lanka too had a bad start similar to the 1st inning but the heroes of the first inning, Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis are still on there. Sri Lanka are already around 170 run lead. If they made another 200 with the remaining 6 wickets, they  could have a easy win and 200 is not a big score to aim. The time is not a problem for Both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh but holding on wickets is. I believe Sri Lanka has the better chance from here on.

Sri Lanka Batting now in second innings and now score 81/4. They lost 4 wickets within 64 runs. Now Sri Lanka lead by 173 run. Sri Lanks loss first wicket (Nishan Madushka) when team run was only 19. Then second wickets (Kusal Mendis) loss when run was 32. After second wicket they bat carefully but when total run was 60 then they lost (Angelo Mathews). And after 4 runs When run wsa 64 then they lost (Dinesh Chandimals) wicket. Dimuth Karunaratne Batting fantastic, He taken 46 run till now and also not out.

I think This match slowly going twords Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's wining chances are increasing. If Bangladeshi Bowlers are able to take all wickets of Sri Lanka quickly Then result will be different, Otherwish i think this match wining chance high then Bangladesh.

[synchronym]

Bangladesh batsmen should have batted more responsibly in the first test match of Bangladesh against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh batsmen should have batted more responsibly as they are playing test match and not T20, so Bangladesh batsmen should have batted patiently. The way Bangladesh team batted against Sri Lanka was really disappointing. Bangladesh batsmen surrendered to the Sri Lankan bowlers after going down to bat with a lead of 180 runs given by Sri Lanka. The way Sri Lankans are batting in the second innings if they give a big target then it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win the first test match so Bangladesh now have to bowl very well against Sri Lanka in the second innings.

The Sri Lankan bowlers have done very well. As a result, Bangladesh's innings stopped at only 188 runs. The Sri Lankan team managed to take a lead by 92 runs. That's a pretty big lead considering the pitch.

Sri Lankan batsmen's batting is also erratic in the second innings. But Karunaratne batted responsibly. He collected 52 runs from 101 balls. De Silva is also batting very well. He is unbeaten by collecting 22 runs. Sri Lanka team collected 116 runs after losing 5 wickets.

Bangladesh's chances of winning are very low. Sri Lanka will be able to deliver at least 260+ targets. It does not seem that Bangladesh will be able to win by batting at this target in the last innings. Because the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very weak.

in 1st innings Sri lanka made 280 runs All Out and Bangladesh score low runs only 188 all out due to the batting performance of Taijul Islam who scored 47 rusn. Sri lanka started batting in second inning 64 runs loss of 4 important wickets in just 20 overs 3rd session of match. Srilanka lost wickets early like first innings now they are lead by 156 runs captain De silva and Karunaratne are on the crease Nahid Rana bowling very well in fist innings picked 3 crucial wickets. Bangladesi bowlers need to out early sri Sri Lanka team to get lead by minimum runs. Bangladesh team failed to make good score in 1st innings no player make fifty Bangladesh need to put pressure on sri lanka and All out under 150 runs if they won 1st test match.

[JSRAW]

Things are moving too quickly in this test match so i think it won't be an understatement if all affairs wrap up quickly within the next 4-5 sessions.

For SL, 5 wickets are still in the piggy bank but if we go by their 1st inning performance then I don't think their tail could move the scoreboard much so they would again expect Dhananjaya and Kamindu to contribute with the bat. Bongs must try to restrict them under 250, tough but not impossible with SL's tail. Bookies are offering some nice odds for Bongs, might throw some lunch money after 1st session if things become interesting.

On the second day of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, the Bangladesh team was bowled out for 188 runs to meet the target of 280 runs. Right now the Sri Lanka team is batting in the second innings and they have already managed to give a huge lead to the Bangladesh team. Bangladesh team's batting performance of the Test match on the second day was very poor due to which they got out all the players with very few runs. At the moment Sri Lanka team has lost only 5 wickets, but Sri Lankan team has an experienced batsman still at the crease and if he can survive till the last minute then surely he will be able to score a hundred again like on the first day. Dhananjaya de Silva scored a great century on the first day and he continues to play flawlessly today, if he can score a century in today's match, it will surely be a huge honor for him. At the moment Sri Lanka team has given a lead of 211 runs to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka's collection of 119 runs in the second innings must be possible to give more lead, if a huge lead is given to Bangladesh then maybe Bangladesh team will lose the first test match.
