Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo said that they are well aware of Sri Lanka’s strength and weakness considering they have played against them in the recent past as they prepare for the upcoming ICC World T20 Super 12’s.
“I think we have played against SL a bit over the last couple of months. We have had some good contests against them in ODIs and Tests,’’ said Domingo.
“We have played against Hasaranga quite a bit over the last couple of months and we know what he is capable of,’’ he said.
‘’We have a well-balanced side with skillful bowlers and some dangerous batters. We have a world-class allrounder in Shakib,’’ he added.
Bangladesh will take on Sri Lanka in their opening Super 12’s encounter.
Domingo stated that the wicket in Sharjah and Dhaka are quite similar and it gives them some kind of encouragement ahead of the Super 12’s campaign.

‘’These type of conditions can suit us. Sharjah is similar to the wickets in Dhaka. Hopefully that can assist us in tomorrow’s game,’’ he said.

“The scores have come down considerably since the new wickets have been laid. Tall bowlers who hit the wicket have always been in the game. I came here with SA with years ago. I remember Morne Morkel was very effective, the sort of hard length that he bowled. The ball skids through,’’ he said.
“If you bowl wicket to wicket, spin has opportunity here. We are not known as a power-hitting side so the (shorter boundary) could favour us,’’ he said adding that the 2pm match timing will also help them as there is no issues of dew.
“We are happy with the 2pm starts. It suits us big time. It takes dew out of the equation. I think our spinners will come very much into the competition. We know a lot of the other teams are focused on the dew,’’ he said.
