Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 1st ODI: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The three-match ODI series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will begin on Wednesday, March 13. Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will play host to all games of the series, which will conclude on Monday, March 18.

Sri Lanka won the preceding three-match T20I series by a 2-1 margin. Both sides won one game each to force it to a decider. In the third T20I, Kusal Mendis played a brilliant 86-run knock to power the Lankans to 174/7 at the end of their 20 overs.

In reply, Bangladesh’s top and middle order faltered as they were reeling at 32/6 at one stage. Rishad Hossain smashed a 30-ball 53 lower down the order but it wasn’t enough as Bangladesh got bundled out on 146 to lose the game by 28 runs. Nuwan Thushara grabbed a fifer, which included a hat trick.

A collective effort from Sri Lanka helped them seal the T20I series and will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum in the ODI series. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be eager to bring out their A-game on Wednesday and start the series on a positive note.
