Predicting Bangladesh’s Playing XI for their 2nd Test against Sri Lanka

Bangladesh are on a tour of Sri Lanka for a Test series in Sri Lanka. This marks the beginning of the new World Test Championship cycle 2025/27. Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh became the first batsman to reach 100 runs in the new WTC 2025–27 after winning the toss.

Though the side occasionally struggled with bowling, they were still able to take wickets. The team was able to take a big lead thanks to Najmul Hossain Shanto’s century in the second innings, but Sri Lanka was able to draw the match. However, both teams have a chance to win the series in the next game; therefore, Bangladesh will want to defeat Sri Lanka.

Top Order:

Bangladesh’s batting order will be opened by Shadman Islam and Anamul Haque. In the second innings, Shadman Islam scored 76 runs, but both openers returned to the pavilion earlier in the first innings. Anamul Haque did not make an impact in the first test. But he will change things in the second Test. Mominul Haque can provide a good stand to the top order of the team.

Middle Order:

With Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Najmul Hossain Shanto providing good batting support, the middle order appears to be formidable. In the last game, Shanto scored a century and Rahim scored a hundred in the first innings. Meanwhile, Liton Das also scored 90 runs in the first innings and helped Bangladesh to reach a huge total in the first innings.

Lower-Middle Order:

Jaker Ali and Nayeem Hasan are two all-rounders who help the team in batting and bowling. In the first innings, Nayeem Hasan picked up a five-wicket haul.  Against Sri Lanka, he took six wickets in the opening game.

Lower Order:

Bowling with a fresh ball, Hasan Mahmud leads the bowling attack. His pace and bounce make him an essential bowler for the team. He claimed three wickets in the opening innings. He is supported by Taijul Islam and Nahid Rana, bowling in the middle.
