Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup 2023: Preview, Prediction, Pitch And Weather Reports

Bangladesh will be up against Sri Lanka in Match 38 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 6 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India. The match commences at 2:00 PM IST. Bangladesh are already out of the tournament having lost six of their seven matches, alongside defending champions England. Sri Lanka could join them on the exit route if they lose this contest. However, even if they emerge victorious, their chances of making it to the semi-finals are very slim. (World Cup 2023 points table)
