Bangladesh’s Likely Playing XI for 2nd ODI Against Sri Lanka After Litton Das Dropped

Bangladesh lock horns with Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI of their home series on Friday. The Tigers bounced back from initial struggles to secure a convincing win in the first match, with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and veteran batsman Mushfiqur Rahim leading the charge.

However, a question mark hangs over the opening slot with Litton Das’s recent batting form causing concern. There’s talk of bringing in Anamul Haque Bijoy as a replacement, but Bangladesh might choose to back Das due to his past contributions.

The batting line-up is likely to stay the same, with Shanto leading alongside Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, and Rahim. The bowling attack will likely feature the spin of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam alongside the pace of Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Here’s Bangladesh’s probable XI for the 2nd ODI vs Sri Lanka:

Litton Das/Anamul Haque Bijoy, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
