The stage is set for an exciting second ODI in the three-match series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The match will be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Friday, March 15

Sri Lanka will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss in the first ODI by 6 wickets. Bangladesh chased down a target of 256 with ease, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten century by skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and his unbroken 165-run partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 73 runs in 84 balls.
