Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are set to cross swords against each other in a Super 12 encounter at the Sharjah Cricket Ground on Sunday, October 24. The match would begin at 3:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). Sri Lanka have turned out to be one of the most in-form sides heading into the Super 12 stage in this competition. Not just because they have won all three matches and have a 100% win record in Round 1 but also because of the fact that they have performed as a team, not remaining dependent on just one player to perform. With a fairly inexperienced squad in their ranks, Sri Lanka have shown a lot of promise so far and it is time that they deliver in the main draw, to keep alive their hopes and dreams of winning back the T20 World Cup title, which they had won in 2014.SL vs BAN, ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 Dream11 Team Selection: Recommended Players As Captain and Vice-Captain, Probable Line-up To Pick Your Fantasy XI

Bangladesh on the other hand, too have had separate performers in Round 1 but no one was better than Shakib Al Hasan with the all-rounder's individual brilliance being one of the most important factors in his side's march up to the Super 12 stage. After a setback against Scotland, they have made some changes to their squad like dropping Soumya Sarkar and including Mohammad Naim in his place at the top of the order and that has seemed to pay off. For Shakib, the job is half-done and if Bangladesh have to make an impact in this competition, then he would be the man to look forward to. SL vs BAN, Sharjah Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here’s How Weather Will Behave for Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2021 Clash at Sharjah Cricket Stadium
