Bangladesh plays 11 vs Sri Lanka.
Opener: Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon
Bangladesh continues to open up innings with Tanjid Hasan and Parvez Hossein Emon.
The duo also opened up Bangladeshi batting with three ODIs, ahead of the T20I series and the first T20I.

That being said, both batters have yet to form a major partnership at the top of the order.
The above information is supported by the fact that while the opener added 46 runs to the first wicket in the first T20I, Bangladesh was able to post PAR totals on a good batting wicket.
This pair would appear to get things right in the second game of the series.
Speaking about the individual performances of Emon and Tanzid Hasan, that was also not impressive as both batters struggle to face a new ball.
However, Emmon got off to a start with the first T20I, but was unable to convert it to a big score, leaving the Bangla Tigers raw towards 154 runs.
The second T20I is the opportunity for the opener to get some run to gain confidence in upcoming matches.
Intermediate batters and all-arounds: Litton Das (C and WK), Mohammadnaim, Touhid Hridoy, Mehdi Hasanmiraz, Shamim Hossein
The opening pair is followed by a new look mid-order compared to the ODI series, with Captain Litton Das and left-handed Mohammadnaim.
Intermediate batters will be disappointed by not taking advantage of the start given by the opener. Hridoy and Das missed in good batting conditions.
As far as the team’s intermediate batting is concerned, the only positive thing for visitors was the performances of Mehidi Hasan Millers and Shamim Hossein.
Bowlers: Mohammad Saifuddin, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
The new look bowling offense dealt with a lack of plans for the offensive Sri Lankan opening pair, which acquired a bowler in the first six overs.
That being said, the bowlers did little to take into account the scores posted on the board, but it wasn’t close to what was challenging, looking at the shape of the Sri Lanka batting lineup.
The Bangla Tigers are expected to retain the same bowling combination, including three fast bowlers and two spinners.
The team’s fast bowling division is taken care of by Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mohmmad Saifuddin.
Meanwhile, the spin bowling division will be handled by Rishad Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
