<p>Sri Lanka heads to the Asia Cup 2023 after sailing smoothly through the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers in Zimbabwe. The island nation showcased their immaculate performance in the tournament, which helped them earn their spot in the impending ICC World Cup 2023.</p>



<p>Although they managed to emerge triumphant in the World Cup qualifiers, there still would be a mental baggage of not automatically qualifying for the World Cup 2023, after all they boast of a vibrant cricketing history that even saw a World Cup title win.</p>



<p>Besides that mental barrier, Sri Lanka is also short of its regular players due to a string of injuries. The likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka are all down with their respective injuries and Sri Lanka will have to eak out a win with the limited available resources.</p>



<p>On the other side, Bangladesh has carried a lot of fresh faces for the Asia Cup 2023. The Tigers were able to get better of Sri Lanka the last time they played them in the ODIs, which would instil a lot of confidence in Bangladesh to repeat their feat.</p>



<p>However, the home advantage puts Sri Lanka slightly ahead of Bangladesh in the fixture, which unfolds tomorrow i.e., 31st August. Below is BAN vs SL Dream11 Prediction Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan Playing11, Pallekele Stadium Pitch Report, Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Team.</p>

<p>The surface at Pellekele Stadium in Sri Lanka seems to be poised to offer something to both batters and bowlers, who apply themselves. There is enough assistance to the pacers initially and the spinners get decent aid as well. The last ODI played here saw a batter score 162 runs, an all-rounder pick a four-wicket haul and another bowler return with an expensive figure of 3/60.</p>



<p>The BAN vs SL fixture could be curtailed by some rain, as thunderstorms are predicted at the start of the game. The average first innings score at this venue is 248 with teams chasing the total winning majority of matches. 18 times teams batting second have won the game, as opposed to 14 won by the teams batting first.</p>

<p><strong>BAN vs SL:</strong> Injury-prone Sri Lanka are all set to battle against Bangladesh at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka. On Thursday, August 31, match 2 of the competition will serve as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka's Asia Cup 2023 openers. This article will lead you to the BAN vs SL weather forecast and pitch report of Pallekele Cricket Stadium.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Jump To:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ban-vs-sl-weather-forecast">BAN vs SL Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ban-vs-sl-pitch-report-of-pallekele-cricket-stadium">BAN vs SL Pitch Report Of Pallekele Cricket Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Sri Lanka are not in good shape, to be honest. The matchup between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on Thursday is a highly fascinating one. Although Sri Lanka may have easily through the World Cup qualifying rounds, they will have a far stiffer struggle here. The fact that Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in a bilateral series for the first time the last time they faced them would only boost their self-confidence.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka's bowling assault has been totally ruined by injuries. Wanindu Hasaranga, Dilshan Madushanka, Lahiru Kumara, and Dushmantha Chameera are on the list of those who are now unavailable. To put things in perspective, they are their three regular seamers, who can all reach speeds of over 145 kph, and their ace legspinner, who just put on as impressive an all-around team performance in the Lanka Premier League.</p>



<p>On the other side, Bangladesh will be attempting to escape the shadow cast via their veterans, whose overreliance on them has historically caused them problems. The services of Litton Das will be missed. Thankfully, there are a number of fresh names to stake a claim. The Asia Cup squad includes five players from the winning Under-19 World Cup squad, and how Bangladesh handles their development might make or break their prospects.</p>



<p>Amid thundershowers, this competition will be quite interesting and vital for both teams. Down below is the BAN vs SL weather forecast and pitch report of Pallekele Cricket Stadium:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ban-vs-sl-weather-forecast"><strong>BAN vs SL Weather Forecast</strong></h2>



<p>BAN vs SL | Match 2 of Asia Cup 2023 will take place on August 31 (Thursday) at Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka. The match begins at 3:00 PM IST.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/08/Pallekele.png" alt="BAN vs SL Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Pallekele Cricket Stadium | Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023" class="wp-image-118614" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">BAN vs SL Weather Forecast (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/25598b5340cb7114a97918e097a991eab7d158198e01592379a70aec20943165">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



<p>According to weather.com, on August 31 (Thursday), it will be an overcast day and thundershowers are predicted at the start of the match. The temperature of Lanka's Pallekele city will be 27? C during the day and drop to 24? Celsius at night. The sky will be cloudy throughout the match.</p>



<p>The chances of rain are high at 70% during the day and around 20% at night on the match day. The humidity exceeds 75% in the daytime and 80% at the night and winds will gust toward the South-West at the speed of 12kmph during the day and 8kmph during the night. So, it might rain towards the toss and first 20 overs, then hopefully we can enjoy a healthy competition.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ban-vs-sl-pitch-report-of-pallekele-cricket-stadium"><strong>BAN vs SL Pitch Report Of Pallekele Cricket Stadium</strong></h2>



<p>The batters have a clear preference for the surface at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The bowlers will have little to no help early on in the game, so the hitters will try to control the action. But things might turn around and fast bowlers might get a swing moment in the air, as the weather is going to be overcast. The surface will, however, become slower as the game goes on, giving the spinners more to work with. The captain who wins the toss may thus choose to choose to bowl first at this field.</p>



<p>However, Pallekele's playing grounds have demonstrated something in the recent past for both bowlers and hitters and this time around, anticipate more of the same. Ibrahim Zadran scored 162 in the last ODI played here, Rashid Khan claimed four wickets, while Kasun Rajitha finished with 3 for 60.</p>

<p><strong>BAN vs SL: </strong>Sri Lankan spin bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga isn't having a great time on the field during the ongoing Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh 2024. Hasaranga, who recently came back from test retirement, has now been handed a 2 Test match ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his foul play during the recently held ODI series against Bangladesh.</p>



<p>The star spinner was found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct, which deals with the behaviour of the players on the field. As per Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, relating to "showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match," Hasaranga was found off-guard by the ICC.</p>



<p>Wanindu Hasaranga ridiculed the umpiring in the last ODI against Bangladesh and was also seen snatching his cap from one of the umpires. The incident happened in the 37th over of the innings.</p>



<p>Following the incident, ICC heavily penalised the cricketer. Wanindu Hasaranga was fined 50 per cent of his match fee and was handed three demerit points for his poor conduct on the field. It's worth noting that Hasaranga was already handed 5 demerit points for his misconduct last month during the T20I series against Afghanistan and now with the addition of the latest demerit points, he breaches the threshold of eight demerit points.</p>



<p>The spinner has now accumulated eight demerit points in the span of 24 months, which is disastrous for any cricketer. According to article 7.6 of the Code, those demerit points have been converted into four suspension points, which equates to either four ODI or T20I match suspensions or two test match suspensions, whichever comes first.</p>



<p>Owing to the ban imposed by the apex cricket body, Wanindu Hasaranga will not be able to take part in the Test series against Bangladesh, which comprises two matches. Both the games are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>BAN vs SL: Kusal Mendis earned 3 Demerit Points</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Kusal-Mendis-1.jpg" alt="BAN vs SL: Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga banned from Test Cricket by ICC, handed Two match ban" class="wp-image-121516" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kusal Mendis (Photo: ANI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In addition to Wanindu Hasaranga's ban, Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis was handed three demerit points for his foul conduct by the ICC in the third ODI against Bangladesh. The charges were levelled on Mendis for a level 2 offence for abusing the umpires during post-match handshakes. </p>
