Sri Lankan coach believes his favorites against Bangladesh
Whatever the version, Bangladesh has had a great fight against Sri Lanka in recent times. A rivalry has also developed between the two teams due to various reasons. As a result, no one talks to anyone else. Sri Lanka's head coach Chris Silverwood considers himself the favorite to play the series in Bangladesh.
Tomorrow, Monday, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will meet in the first T20 match at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The remaining two matches of this series will also be held at this ground. Two matches will be played on March 6 and 9.
But BPL has ended not even two days yet. Meanwhile, the Tigers have to enter the field. It is also the first T20 series. Bangladesh is naturally supposed to get additional benefits as it has been in T20 cricket for a long time. But despite all this, the Sri Lankan coach is keeping himself ahead.
"First of all, I expect a very competitive series between the two teams," Silverwood said at the pre-match press conference on Sunday (March 3). What happened in the past is history, now it is gone. All we have to do is focus on what's in front of us.... There are some dangerous players on both sides. So I think it will be great fun.'
However, when asked who are the favourites, this coach puts himself ahead, 'Of course I will say Sri Lanka is the favourite. But as I said earlier, both teams are good and will try to win this series. Because we are all preparing for the World Cup. So we want to make sure that we are going to play the best cricket. As I said before, I expect it to be very competitive.'
