Sri Lanka are currently hosting Bangladesh for an all-format series, which began with the two-match Test series. Following the host’s victory in the red-ball series by 1-0, both teams will shift their focus on three 50-over matches. The ODI series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will kick off on July 2, in Colombo. This will be followed by a three-match T20I series, starting on July 10.
Sri Lankan player Pathum Nissanka is coming on the back of a red-hot form after scoring two back-to-back centuries (187 and 158) in the recently concluded red-ball series. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s Najmul Hossain Shanto is also enjoying a good run of form as he scored twin hundreds (148 and 125*) in the opening fixture of the series. Notably, the batter has resigned from the role of Bangladesh’s Test skipper after the series.
However, the Lankans whitewashed Bangladesh in the latest three-match ODI series hosted by them in 2019. But Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Co. have also dominated the recent two series in Bangladesh. They won the home 50-over series twice, with the score lines of 2-1, in 2021 and 2024.
