Sri Lanka Under 19 and Bangladesh Under 19 have won their first two matches. The team that wins today's match will be the one that will occupy the top spot in the table. The strong teams of Group B are Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Under 19 captain decided to bat after winning the toss. Vimath Dinsara's responsible batting will likely enable Sri Lanka to score a big total. Sri Lanka have scored 218 runs in 48 overs.
