Next match in the group is on June 7 as Bangladesh prepares to open their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Sri Lanka on June 7 in Dallas.
Bangladesh enters the tournament after a series loss to minnows USA and a defeat to India in the warm-up match, highlighting the significance of the upcoming encounter. The return of pacer Taskin Ahmed after a hamstring injury provides a much-needed boost for Bangladesh 2.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, suffered a record total of 77 against South Africa, partly attributed to the unfavorable pitch conditions in New York 3. This places them in a challenging position as they gear up to face Bangladesh.
Despite a hand injury, Bangladesh's left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam is unlikely to participate in the first match, with doubts for the second game against South Africa.
However, the vice-captain Taskin Ahmed has recovered well and is expected to play against Sri Lanka on June 7. The physios' optimism about Taskin's progress indicates his potential availability for the match. The team's preparations have involved indoor training due to rain, with Taskin's recovery being closely monitored for the upcoming game.
