BAN v SL, 2nd ODI Match Preview:

Bangladesh's batting line-up looked good in the first game. Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal are the batting mainstays of the team. Shakib Al Hasan is a key factor for Bangladesh in both aspects - bat as well as ball. 

Mehidy Hasan is in fine form with the ball lately and will remain crucial on a pitch that is two-paced and remains on the slower side. Mustafizur Rahman will be the X-factor. 

Sri Lanka's batting faltered in the last game as most batters got starts but couldn't convert into a big score. Pathum Nissanka is one of the upcoming talents and could play a top inning in this game. 

Sri Lanka's key player in the series in Wanindu Hasaranga. He has been one of the top upcoming all-rounders globally and he showed in the first game as well scoring 74 off 60. 

The slowishness of pitch and the home advantage makes Bangladesh favorites to win the second game as well and clinch the three-match series.
