The hosts Bangladesh have left no stone unturned in their preparations for this mega event and the superbly organized facilities at the recently held Asia Cup spoke volumes about the nation’s commitment to organizing large scale cricketing events immaculately.

Sri Lanka will be looking to stamp their authority on this title after beating Pakistan in the finals of the Asia Cup. Alongside, India will be looking for redemption after some torrid losses to Australia and New Zealand abroad.
