Bangladesh (BAN) will meet Sri Lanka (SL) in Match 5 of the Asia Cup 2025 on Saturday, September 13, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The Bangla Tigers are currently enjoying excellent form in T20 cricket, having secured back-to-back series victories over Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands before entering the tournament. They carried that momentum into their Asia Cup opener, where they comfortably defeated Hong Kong by seven wickets, chasing a 144-run target in just 17 overs with authority.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are seeking consistency as they head into this contest. After losing a series to Bangladesh in July, they bounced back with a 2-1 series win over Zimbabwe in Harare. Despite flashes of brilliance, their form has often been unpredictable. A lot will hinge on their spinners, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, who can trouble any batting order. Additionally, openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis must anchor the innings to give Sri Lanka the best chance of success.
