Bangladesh Bowling Statistics against Sri Lanka

Considering all the statistics Sri Lanka way ahead of Bangladesh but most of the statistics are old and the current Sri Lankan Cricket team does not have players who are performed well against Bangladesh.

Therefore, Fans has to wait and see the performance of the Sri Lankan team headed by the Kusal Janith Perera.
