Sri Lanka won the T20 series, while Bangladesh bounced back well with an ODI series win. These two teams met in the first test in Sylhet, which Sri Lanka won by a massive margin of 328 runs to take a 1-0 unassailable lead in the two-match series.
Now it is time for the second test to be played. The second game will start on March 30 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram. Sri Lanka had a brilliant first match and will look to register a series whitewash. Bangladesh need to address the batting issue, mainly in the second test.

BAN vs SL: Pitch Report
The pitch in Chattogram is a spinning wicket that will help the spinners and slow bowlers more. The batting up front will be difficult as the ball will do a bit. The chase in the fourth innings will be difficult. So after winning the toss, batting first is ideal.
