Weather and pitch report

Tuesday’s match will be held at Bristol County Ground in Bristol. The forecast could be rather gloomy as there is a threat of rain, which could wash out the match. It will likely remain cloudy for the entire duration of the match and temperature will be fairly low.

Prediction for match result

Since Sri Lanka have arguably, one of the weakest teams, the edge should ideally go to Bangladesh. What, also works in their favour is the fact that Sri Lanka have played one less game, since their third match was abandoned. Bangladesh got a scare when Shakib Al Hasan went for a scan on Monday for a quad injury. According to reports, he picked it up during the match against England on Saturday.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 game should be unpredictable. Will Sri Lanka manage to get out of their rut and register a win over Bangladesh? Or will the Tigers finaly score their first ICC Cricket World Cup win over the Lions?
