Match Overview – SL vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction
The first Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ended in a draw, but it wasn’t short on action. Both sides posted massive totals, and several batters converted their starts into centuries. Despite a slightly underwhelming bowling effort from Sri Lanka, they managed to hang on till the end.
Bangladesh will be the happier of the two sides after their dominant batting display. Led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, the visitors piled up a big first-innings score, with centuries from Shanto, Litton Das, and Mushfiqur Rahim. Now, with the series on the line, both teams will be looking to leave nothing behind in Colombo.
The Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) pitch is known to be batter-friendly early on, but it tends to wear down and assist spinners as the match progresses, setting the stage for a classic five-day battle.

Pitch Report – Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo
The surface at SSC is a paradise for batters early on, offering good pace and bounce. However, from Day 3 onward, the cracks begin to open up, aiding spinners with turn and variable bounce.
Expect the first couple of days to be dominated by batsmen looking to rack up big totals. But as the pitch deteriorates, bowlers—particularly spinners—will come into play. Winning the toss and batting first remains the ideal strategy here.
Average First Innings Score: 318
Spin Factor: High from Day 3 onward
Toss Advantage: Bat First

Best Batter Pick: Najmul Hossain Shanto (BAN)
The Bangladesh skipper has been in sublime touch. He scored 148 in the first innings and followed it up with a composed unbeaten 125 in the second. Shanto’s maturity and patience make him the biggest threat to Sri Lanka’s bowling lineup.

Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Test Match?
With both teams evenly matched in batting and conditions likely to favor spinners later in the game, the toss could play a huge role in deciding the outcome. Sri Lanka will back their home advantage and deeper bowling attack, while Bangladesh’s form and confidence give them momentum.
Scenario 1: Sri Lanka Bat First
Predicted First Innings Total: 400–450
Prediction: Sri Lanka to Win
Batting first at SSC and putting a massive total on the board will allow Sri Lanka’s spinners to dictate the game from Day 3.
Scenario 2: Bangladesh Bat First
Predicted First Innings Total: 420–440
Prediction: Draw
With their current batting form, Bangladesh could once again post a big total. But unless their bowlers pick up early wickets on Days 2 and 3, a draw could be on the cards.
Final Prediction: Sri Lanka to Win the 2nd Test and Seal the Series
Despite Bangladesh’s heroics in the first Test, Sri Lanka remain favorites at home. The Colombo surface, combined with the potential impact of players like Kamindu Mendis and Asitha Fernando, gives the hosts an edge. However, if Bangladesh continues its fearless cricket and avoids a collapse, this could go down to the wire again.
