But it&#39;s easier said than done though, with injuries plaguing the hosts&#39; camp.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBangladesh are missing their four key bowlers. Off-spinner Nayeem Hasan, who picked up six wickets in the first Test, was ruled out with a finger fracture that puts him out of action for four weeks. Joining him is left-arm quick Shoriful Islam, who picked up a right hand injury on the fourth day in Chattogram. Replacements for both players have not yet been announced, according to ICC.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAlso missing from action are right-arm pacer Taskin Ahmed and off-spinner Mehidy Hasan, who are in various stages of recovery.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the other hand, the tourists are a confident bunch. However, Bangladesh can take heart in the fact while their bowling has suffered, their batting appears to be chugging along nicely.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDuring the first Test at Chattogram, Sri Lanka put up a solid 397 in the first innings on the back of a superb 199 from Angelo Mathews and half-centuries from Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal. However, Bangladesh put up an equally spirited fight-back, scoring 465 that included centuries from Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim, helping them to a 68-run first-innings lead. Sri Lanka then added 260\/6 in the second innings before a draw was agreed upon.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Batsmen or bowlers, we get good results when we can play as a team. The team gets into a good position whenever we give a collective effort. It will help us in Dhaka,&quot; said Bangaldesh skipper Mominul Haque.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Our pacers did better than theirs (in the first Test). We have a few positives in that aspect. If we are batting first we will try to get 275-300, and then get them out for less than 150 in one innings. It will give us a chance to win,&quot; said Sri Lanka batter Dhananjaya de Silva ahead of the second Test.<\/p>\r\n",
