🧠 Editor’s Note

Bangladesh’s ODI struggles continue, especially against disciplined bowling attacks and scoreboard pressure. With the ICC Champions Trophy looming, questions over their middle-order and bowling depth are growing louder.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s resurgence under Mendis, powered by a blend of experience and youthful aggression, looks increasingly formidable.
