Bangladesh opening batsman Liton and Soumya Sarkar both performed badly. In the T20 series, Liton Das performed well in 1 match, but the performance was not good in any other match. Soumya Sarkar did not perform well in the T20 series, he did not perform well in the first match of the ODI series either. In my opinion, it would be better if Bangladesh's opening batsman Soumya Sarkar is changed in the next match. Anamul Haque and Tanzid Hasan have both performed well in BPL, I think it would be good to give them a chance as openers. Yes, Najmul Hossain Shanto performed well as captain yesterday, his performance is really commendable. The contribution of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah was not less.

Actually Bangladesh cricket team has been trying to develop a professional and consistent opening batsman for a long time but they are failing time and again. Bangladesh team is trying to find a successor of Tamim's opening batsman but there is no opening batsman like him yet in Bangladesh. Currently the opening batsmen for the Bangladesh team are being tested for a long time but they are not able to give their best in any way. Liton Kumar Das and Soumya Sarkar in particular have been given plenty of opportunities to test themselves but they play well in one match and then play poorly in the next 4 matches.

You are right. For many years we have seen Bangladesh trying to find a perfect opener. But they still can't do it. Liton, Soumyo, Anamul and tanzid were given opportunities. But no batsman can bat consistently. Each batsman performs well in maybe 2/1 matches, and then again they start batting poorly. I don't remember the last time I saw Bangladesh's opening pair survive the first 10 overs at the crease.

Bangladesh is completely dependent on their middle order. However, experienced players like Shakib, Mushfiq and Mahmudullah will retire within a few years. Bangladesh is yet to find a replacement for these experienced players. The condition of this group will be worse in the future.

If you ask me so I think it is hard for Bangladesh cricket team to find a great opening batsman who will play well all the time and for this purpose they need a fair selection and this will take much time. Kumar Das and Soumya Sarkar do not play well consistently. We mostly see them they do well in one match but not in next few matches. And that is clear that having a strong opening partnership is really important for the team to do well in the whole match. If the opening get out earlier so it puts a pressure on the whole team.

Bangladesh lost the T20 series to Sri Lanka after losing the last match but Bangladesh started the ODI series on a high with a huge six wicket win over Sri Lanka in the first match of the ODI series. Batting on the target given by Sri Lanka, I will not say that Bangladesh won easily because Bangladesh lost three wickets early on but later Mushfiqur Rahim and Nazmul Hossain put on a quiet 150 plus partnership and that partnership took Bangladesh to victory against Sri Lanka. A win in the first match of the series means going far ahead in the series, if Bangladesh can win one of the next two matches then Bangladesh will win the ODI series. With the performance of Bangladesh in the first ODI match, there will be an expectation that Bangladesh will win either of the next two matches.

Amazing comeback by the Bangladesh team after losing the T20 series. After winning the toss Sri Lanka scored 255 all out in 49th over of the match. Janith Liyanage played good innings of 67 runs alongside Kusal Mendis fifty. From Bangladesh Shoriful Islam and taskin bowling well Shoriful picked 3 crucial wickets and Taskin Ahmed also picked 3 Wickets. Bangladesh chased down the yard 257 runs very easily with the help of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim 73 runs not out innings. only Sri Lanka bowler Dilshan Madushanka picked 2 wickets and failed to defend the target.

Bangladesh played well in T20 series against Sri Lanka. They lost series but they did well in last match of series. Bangladesh bowling wasn't good and they gave a chance to SriLanka to make 255 runs. But Bangladesh chased target of 256 runs easily. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim batted really well. This is showing that Bangladesh has a strong team that can do well in tough situations. Congratulations to the Bangladesh team for winning the last match unfortunately they lost the series.

I see Bangladesh as stronger especially because it is Bangladesh's home ground. But here after the three aggressive batting outs of Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar and Mehdi Meraj, I feel disappointed because the Bangladesh team seems unlikely to win. But Mahmudullah Riyad and Nazmul Hasan Shanta, two patient batsmen, performed for a long time and gave a befitting reply to the Sri Lankan team. These two Tiger batsmen Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mahmudullah Riyad took the team to the top of the victory by easily completing the target of 255 runs.

This is the first match of 3 ODI between BAN vs SL, so BAN won the first match as a reply to their loss in T20 series but SL has good team too to make a comeback and then the 3rd match will be the ultimate decider.

As cricket fan, I can see the growth of BAN is gradually increasing while SL keeps decreasing, especially in ODI and test formats and SL was considered as one of the team but when experienced players left they failed to fill the void with right players that resulted in such pathetic situation of SL.

Bangladesh is a very good team and they have gained a lot of fame in the game of cricket but they can't always maintain their performance. Sometimes they play very well and sometimes they play very badly.  This match against Sri Lanka was very good for them.  And very nicely they won the match in 44 overs they crossed their target and won the match by 6 wickets.  It is a very good achievement for Bangladesh. Bangladesh has the ability to manage ODI matches very well yet

Soumya Sarkar did not perform well in the T20 series, he did not perform well in the first match of the ODI series either.

Yesterday was the match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In this series, the Bangladesh team is very confident due to the losing matches of T20 by Sri Lanka and now you wonder how it is possible that loss gave you confidence but in real., this is a truth because when you lose then you get a feeling to take revenge and when you accept to take revenge so no power can be defeated to you and today they won a ODI match and let's hope that they will win ODI series and take the revenge by Sri Lanka of losing a series of T20. Still, 2 matches are left of ODI.

In my opinion, it would be better if Bangladesh's opening batsman Soumya Sarkar is changed in the next match. Anamul Haque and Tanzid Hasan have both performed well in BPL, I think it would be good to give them a chance as openers. Yes, Najmul Hossain Shanto performed well as captain yesterday, his performance is really commendable. The contribution of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah was not less.

Bangladesh got a victory against Sri Lanka and the last time, the both team met together at T20 series it was won by Sri Lanka at Bangladesh's home ground. It was not a good deal for Bangladesh because a team came in their country and defeated to them, and Bangladesh didn't know. So, for the respect of their team, they need to win the matches of ODI series, which I think they can win be to it in a good way after seeing the result of the first match but in the next matches, the Sri Lankan team will be more proactive.

Yesterday Najmul Hossain Shanto played very well and on that win, he had made very important 122 runs and remained not out. He also used almost 20 overs (122 balls) to make this score but for runs and they had balls as it was an ODI so they can easily afford these overs because at the end they won the match in a good margin so what we needed more by a player is to play according to the situation of the match.

He is a good ODI player but better for the test as we can see in these wonderful runs, he hit just 2 sixes means only 12 runs were made by sixes out of 122. He needs to improve his boundaries then he can play T20 and ODI in a very good type, otherwise this condition is excellent for test matches. Such temperament is needed in test matches.

Bangladesh comfortably defeated the Lankans in the first ODI. Sri Lanka should have included Angelo in their lineup since he is one of the best all-rounders currently.

His strike rate in this particular match was optimal since they were chasing a relatively small score which is why I completely disagree with you here. He paced his innings very nicely without taking unnecessary risks.

After losing the T20I series from Sri Lanka team and now in 1 st ODI game, Bangladesh team won this game by brilliant effort and Bangladesh did not performed well in T20I series and they only one game and lost this series by leading of one game. Sri Lanka team did not showed good struggle in their batting lineup first and they made only 255 runs. After giving target in bowling lineup, Sri Lanka bowlers was not stop Bangladesh batsman to chase their target. N.Shnato batter of Bangladesh team was performed brilliantly and their batting style was so unique because he made a outstanding century 122 runs in 129 balls. In bowling side, S Islam, T.Ahmed and T.Sakib these bowlers also showed commendable effort all of them took down good wickets and help their team for win this game.

After losing the T20 series, Bangladesh was supposed to be more dedicated this time and they successfully defeated Sri Lanka in their 1st ODI match. Sri Lanka was playing good but 70 runs, they lost so many wickets. Janith Liyanage did 67, and Kusal Mendis supposed to be in his forum who did half century and contributed for his team for given 256 runs Target to bangladesh. I like the way how Bangladesh stand before Sri Lanka where shanto made century and prove that they can also win. The next match is tomorrow, still some hours available to start the match. Maybe this time, we'll look Sri Lanka too serious than before

Bangladesh at first actually were in trouble at the start of the match. When bowling Bangladesh gave away a lot of runs in the first 10 overs. Tanzim Sakib was able to make sure that Bangladesh found their way back into the match by taking up crucial wickets. But towards the end, he was unable to finish his spell of 10 over. I hope it is nothing serious. Another thing I do not understand is why Bangladesh is not giving chances to other players. The top order has been failing quite consistently. Maybe this is time to look for other options instead of Litton and Soumya.

I think Bangladesh top batsmen having a hard time lately. Maybe it is good idea to let some other players have a go. It is good to have good batting lineup that can be counted on. If some players are not doing well it may be time to make some changes. I am worried that Tanzim Sakib could not finish bowling his 10 overs. I hope he is okay. In general team should try out new combinations and give chances to different players to get better.

[Fuso.hp]

After securing a big six-wicket victory in the first ODI match, Bangladesh will again take the field in the second ODI match today. Bangladesh will definitely want to win today's match because if Bangladesh can win today's match then Bangladesh's series win will be assured with one match in hand. On the other hand, to survive in the series, Sri Lanka has no option to win today's match, in that case, Sri Lanka will definitely try to win this match. Whether it is T20I or ODI format, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have a tough competition and that rivalry may continue in the second ODI match as well.

In the last match, Nazmul Hossain played a match-winning innings by scoring a quiet century and expectations will be high from him today.

As a Bengali, it is not right for me to bring bad name to Bangladesh.  Bangladesh once gained a lot of fame and reputation in the game of cricket but now the cricket players of Bangladesh are busy with politics. Bangladesh's famous all-rounder player Shakib Al Hasan has now won the parliamentary election of Bangladesh, so how can he now keep all his focus on playing cricket?  This is how the Bangladesh cricket team is slowly collapsing.  Still, sometimes it's good to see Bangladesh playing well

Bangladesh will play the second match of the ODI series against Sri Lanka today. Bangladesh performed well enough in the first match and won. Bangladesh won especially because of the responsible batting of Shanto and Mushfiq. However, the performance of three batsmen of Bangladesh's top order was weak as usual. Today's match is also going to be held in Chittagong. I hope Bangladesh will win.

Sri Lanka lost the first match due to poor batting. The Sri Lankan team had given a target of 256 runs. Maybe they could have won if the target was more than 280. The pitch was not bowling friendly. A score of 255 was not enough to win on this pitch.

The conditions of both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka teams are very similar. The performances of the players of both the teams have been erratic. So it is difficult to predict which team will win. But my guess is that Bangladesh will be able to win today's match as well.

The Bangladesh team generally performed very well in the first ODI match but I was reliable with only two batsmen. Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad performed well because only Bangladesh team won. But will they be able to perform well in the second ODI match? 
Especially if the bowling and batting line can perform well, it is possible to win the second ODI match. Because Bangladesh team is very strong at home ground, they always perform well in their own ground.

Disagreed. I am expecting the Lankans to win the second ODI because they have been performing pretty well against Bangladesh in recent times which is why I feel that they will bounce back comfortably.

The final ODI will probably be the series decider. Let's see what happens going forward.
