The next match in Group D is scheduled for June 7, with Bangladesh set to face Sri Lanka in Dallas. Bangladesh enters the tournament after a series loss to the USA and a defeat to India in a warm-up match, making this encounter crucial for them.
The return of pacer Taskin Ahmed after a hamstring injury is a positive development for Bangladesh. However, left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam is unlikely to participate due to a hand injury, casting doubts on his availability for the second game against South Africa.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, struggled in their opening match against South Africa, scoring a record low total of just 77 runs. The challenging pitch conditions in New York contributed to their difficulties, adding pressure as they prepare to face Bangladesh.
The vice-captain Taskin Ahmed has shown promising recovery and is expected to play against Sri Lanka on June 7. The team's preparations have been affected by rain, leading to indoor training sessions. Taskin's progress is being closely monitored ahead of the crucial match.
