Sri Lanka vs USA Prediction: A tough first meeting expected

This second round of ICC World Cup Qualification action takes place at the Bulawayo Athletic Club and pits Sri Lanka against the United States of America. Although this will be the first time that these two teams compete against one another, the bookmakers have Sri Lanka pegged as enormous favorites, while the United States of America are the struggling side going into this.

Sri Lanka Form

In the first round of this qualifier, Sri Lanka was fortunate enough to defeat the Netherlands by a score of 214-215, and coming into this, the Lions will hope that they can build on the successes that they already have. Following the victory, the Lions' winning streak improved to three games, bringing their overall record to five victories in their last six contests. In spite of this, we are looking forward to seeing this team perform much better as the big favorites, take advantage of the USA, and secure a win.

USA Form

The United States of America's winning run came to an end in their most recent match against Ireland; they will seek to improve their play in order to bounce back to their winning ways. Before suffering that setback, the United States of America had previously triumphed over the United Arab Emirates, Papua New Guinea, and Jersey. In spite of this, the United States is the clear underdog in this contest, and given how the oddsmakers have them positioned relative to their opponent, they will need to play with a lot of class if they want to come out on top.

Expert Betting Tips

Given that the United States of America is the clear underdog in this match against Sri Lanka, I cannot say for certain that they will emerge victorious. The fact that this is the first time that these two groups have interacted suggests that this should be a survival of the fittest competition. Since Sri Lanka are the favorites, they should win the coin toss.
