BAN v SL 2021: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka pitch history and stats

International cricket is set to resume in Bangladesh with the hosts gearing up to play a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, starting Sunday, May 23. Due to travel restrictions, all three one-dayers will be played at the same venue.

Bangladesh have a 100% win record in home matches under the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League and the Tamim Iqbal-led outfit will be keen to maintain it.

Meanwhile, the Lankans are yet to open their account in the Super League. While Bangladesh whitewashed the West Indies in this competition, Sri Lanka were blanked by the Caribbean team in their previous assignment.
