Bangladesh created history by winning the three-match away T20I series against the hosts Sri Lanka after thrashing them in the T20I series decider by a record margin. 

At the 1-1 series level situation, Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka chose to bat first in the third and final game of the T20I series at Colombo (RPS) on Wednesday evening (July 16). While Sri Lanka scored 132/7 in 20 overs, the visitors chased down the target in 16.3 overs after losing only two wickets. With an eight-wicket win with 21 balls remaining, Bangladesh recorded their joint largest T20I win (by wickets) against Sri Lanka and also the largest T20I win (by balls remaining) against the same team. 

Bangladesh won their first T20I series against Sri Lanka

With this win, Bangladesh won this away T20I series by 2-1, which became their first bilateral T20I series win against Sri Lanka. Previously, the Tigers lost three T20I bilateral series and drew one T20I bilateral series against Sri Lanka (excluding one-off T20I).

Player of the Match Mahedi Hasan dominated with the ball

The hosts had an off start as they scored 40/3 in the powerplay. Apart from the opener Pathum Nissanka, the other four out of the first five Lankan batters failed to reach double-digit scores, as the hosts were struggling at 49/4. While Nissanka scored the highest runs in the innings with 46 off 39 balls with four fours, Kamindu Mendis and Dasun Shanaka were the others to reach double-digit scores in that innings. Mendis scored 21 runs, and Shanaka fought hard to score 35 not out off 25 balls with four fours and two sixes. In the last over of the innings, Sri Lanka added 22 runs, while Shanaka scored 20 runs out of those. 

The off-spinner Mahedi Hasan was the hero of the evening with the ball as he had the bowling figures of 4-1-11-4. He dismissed four out of the first five Lankan batters, including the important wicket of the opener Pathum Nissanka.

Tanzid Hasan assured a comfortable win

In reply, although the opener Parvez Hossain Emon lost his wicket on the first ball of the innings, another opener Tanzid Hasan batted strongly and got enough support from the other batters to secure a comfortable win. Hasan had a 74-run partnership with the skipper Litton Das for the second wicket. The Player of the Series, skipper Litton Das, scored 32 runs in the match before getting out. However, Hasan continued his strong batting performance with the next batter Towhid Hridoy to ensure no more frustrating hiccups for the visitors. They had the 59-run partnership for the unbroken third wicket, where Hridoy scored 27 not out and Hasan scored 73 not out off 47 balls with one four and six sixes. 

SL vs BAN Match Preview

With the series tied at 1-1, the third and final match will be the decider. The third and last match of the T20I series will be played at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium, which also hosted the first two one-dayers. After restricting Bangladesh to 154 while bowling first in the first T20I, the visitors bowled Sri Lanka out for 94 runs in the second match while defending a competitive total. Bangladesh will be pleased with their key players' comeback in the final game. After being put to bat first in Dambulla, skipper Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, and Shamim Hossain all delivered impactful knocks to help them reach 177.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2025, 2nd T20I: A lot of histories 

Leading the home T20I series by 1-0, Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka chose to field first after winning the toss in the second T20I at Dambulla. While Bangladesh scored 177/7 in 20 overs, Sri Lanka were bundled out for only 94 runs, as Bangladesh won by 84 runs. While it was the second-largest T20I win (by runs) for Bangladesh, it was also Sri Lanka's second-largest T20I defeat (by runs) at home after recording their lowest T20I total (completed) at home.

Litton Das and Shamim Hossain performed strongly after opening flops

The visitors had a poor start as they lost both the openers in the first two overs (Parvez Hossain Emon 0 and Tanzid Hasan 5), while they scored 39/2 at the end of the powerplay, courtesy of a steady partnership between captain Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy. They ultimately built up a 69-run partnership for the third wicket, where Hridoy scored 31 off 25 balls with two fours and one six.

Although Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1) only stayed for two balls, Das had another strong support from Shamim Hossain, as they set up a 77-run partnership for the fifth wicket. While the skipper scored 76 off 50 balls with one four and five sixes, Hossain was run out in the final over after scoring 48 off 27 balls with five fours and two sixes. 

Among the Sri Lankan bowlers, Binura Fernando took three wickets (3/31), while Nuwan Thushara (1/30) and Maheesh Theekshana (1/30) got one wicket each. 

Sri Lanka never coped with poor start

In reply, Sri Lanka were struggling at 37/4 at the end of the powerplay, and the innings was completed in 15.2 overs, as Sri Lanka were all out for 94. Only the opener Pathum Nissanka (32) and Dasun Shanaka (20) reached double-digit scores in that innings.  

All five Bangladesh bowlers managed to pick up at least one wicket. While Rishad Hossain bagged three wickets (3/18), Shoriful Islam (2/12) and Mohammad Saifuddin (2/21) got two wickets each, and Mustafizur Rahman (1/14) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1/26) had one wicket each. 

A bizarre visual took place during the second T20I game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, where the home fans left the field before the 15th over of their batting. It was bound to happen with the Charith Asalanka-led side finding themselves 86/8 on the 15th over of the chase. 

The reports claimed that tickets were sold out for the encounter two days before the encounter, but a poor performance during the second T20I saw the fans leaving the ground way before it ended. Sri Lanka was never in the chase as they kept losing wickets in the second innings against the Bangladesh spinners.

The home side came into the second game after their inspiring all-around performance, where they chased down the 160-run score with seven wickets in hand and one over to spare. They batted well in that game in Pallekele but couldn’t repeat the same performance in Dambulla two evenings later.

Batting first, Bangladesh put 177 runs on the board for the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 20 overs. They lost both openers, Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon, for single-digit scores before their captain, Litton Das, rescued them with 76 runs in 50 balls, shouldering on one boundary and five sixes at a strike rate of 152.

Shamim Hossain also provided them a late order firing attack with 48 runs in 27 balls at a strike rate of nearly 180, with the help of five boundaries and two sixes to shoulder them to 177/7 in their 20 overs. But the requirement was to still come up with a better bowling performance to restrict them.

In the second innings, Bangladesh was excellent, with only two batters for Sri Lanka, Dasun Shanaka and Pathum Nissanka, making it into the double digits. None of the other batters were able to do so. They lost their first three wickets for 25 runs before getting restricted to 71/6. Shoriful Islam and Mohammed Saifuddin picked up two wickets each while Rishad Hossain registered 3/18 in 3.2 overs. That helped the visitors earn a victory by 83 runs and level the series by a 1-1 margin.

SL vs BAN Match Preview

It is the second game of the three-match series, and the Sri Lankans will look to win the series while the Bangladeshis hope to make a comeback and level the series. The Sri Lankans delivered a clinical performance, winning by seven wickets. The team will look to capitalize on this momentum and secure another series victory at home. Bangladeshi players must fight hard to claim this game and keep their series alive. Sri Lanka has dominated Bangladesh in this series. Except for one loss in the ODIs, they outplayed the visitors in the other games. The top order executed well, and it will give the team confidence.

It doesn't always happen, but the third game in a three-match series can be perfectly set up, and with both teams winning the initial two matches of this ODI series, that's exactly what we'll see on Tuesday in Pallekele. It's also batter-friendly conditions, so both teams' top orders will be ecstatic about the chance to bat long in the third ODI and knock the other team out of contention.

SL vs BAN Probable Winners:

This should be an exciting contest, with the series on the line in Pallekele. We anticipate a close game on Tuesday, but Sri Lanka has been a stronger team in this format for a while, so we expect a home win. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

Sri Lanka have named an 18-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh. Dinesh Chandimal’s return to the shortest format after three years has been the major headline for the side as they prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026 at home and in India.

Chandimal, who has smashed 1062 T20I runs in 61 innings at a strike rate of 103.60, returns to the national side. His last game of the format came in November 2022 against Australia in Kandy. However, his comeback for Sri Lanka isn’t surprising, with the veteran cracking 287 runs in 10 LPL games last year at a strike rate of nearly 170. 

The opening game of the series will take place on July 10, in Pallekele, before the action moves to Dambulla after a two-day break. On July 16, the final encounter of the series will take place in Colombo. It's incredibly vital for the players to perform in this series at home, as the T20 World Cup 2026 is knocking on the door. Most players, whose position in the side, hasn't been sealed yet, will face an acid test against Bangladesh. 

Sri Lanka announce their squad of inform players for the Bangladesh series

Charith Asalanka will continue to lead the 2014 T20 champions. Opener Pathum Nissanka, who has been in tremendous touch during this multi-format series, has retained his place. In 61 innings, the right-handed batter has clubbed 1734 runs at a strike rate of 120.41, thanks to 14 half-centuries.

Sri Lanka’s biggest boost has come in the form of Matheesha Pathirana’s return. The pacer didn’t enjoy a great IPL 2025 campaign for the Chennai Super Kings, with just 13 wickets in 12 innings at an economy of over 10. But his form will be vital for the side’s death over bowling.

SEE ALSO: Wiaan Mulder slams triple ton, joins Hashim Amla in South Africa’s elite Test records

Kusal Perera has also retained his place in Sri Lanka’s T20I squad. At 34, the veteran, who has accumulated 2056 T20I runs in 76 innings at a strike rate of 134.11, will look to make the most of the opportunities. Along with Pathirana, this side has covered their pace unit with experience. Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga have a huge role to play in the spin department. The former will take care of the power, while Hasaranga will look to counter the middle overs.

Sri Lanka’s T20I squad for Bangladesh series:

Charith Asalanka (captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando, Dasun Shanaka, Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Chamika Karunaratne, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Binura Fernando, Eshan Malinga.

SL vs BAN Match Preview

After clinching the Test series 1-0, the hosts will look to clinch the one-day series when they face Bangladesh in the second match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Bowlers dominated the last match here, making batters work hard. Skipper Charith Asalanka led Sri Lanka's comeback after an early collapse, scoring a century at number five. Bangladesh weren't chasing a big total, and they got off to a good start with a 71-run partnership for the second wicket, taking their score from 29 for 1 to 100 for 2. However, an explosion of wickets from that point onwards ended their chase, and they were dismissed for 167 runs. Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads a solid team with depth in the batting order and range in the bowling attack.

SL vs BAN Match Preview

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will shift gears from the Test arena to an ODI series of three matches beginning July 2 in Colombo. Sri Lanka completed the Test finale in just 28 minutes on the next morning, winning by an innings and 78 runs and taking the series 1-0. With that dominant achievement setting the tone, Sri Lanka will be hoping to reset and revive their morale in the 50-over format. Sri Lanka won the ODI series 2-0 with an emphatic 174-run victory over Australia in Colombo. Batting first, Kusal Mendis fixed the innings with a superb 101 off 115 balls, forming key partnerships with Charith Asalanka (78*) and Nishan Madushka to help post a solid 281.
