Players to watch out for
Tanzid Hasan - Tanzid Hasan is having a spectacular 2024, already amassing 621 runs at an average of 36.5. This year he has scored five fifties and a century in the shortest format, and Bangladesh will be heavily reliant on him. Tanzid has been good against spinners, against whom he averages 69, but against pace, he has struggled quite a bit this season.
Towhid Hridoy —One of Bangladesh's finds last year, Hridoy has been massive in terms of scoring runs this year. He has scored 725 runs at a healthy average of 38.2. Hridoy has not been consistent in the first six overs but has come good in the middle phase. Anyway, he maintains a strike rate in the range of 140-150 across phases.
Kusal Mendis – Sri Lanka’s highest run-scorer since 2023, Kusal Mendis has always done well against Bangladesh. Almost half of his fifties in T20Is have come against them. In fact, no batter has more 50-plus scores against Bangladesh in T20Is than Mendis.
