SL vs BAN 2025, T20I Series: Broadcast, Live Streaming details: When and where to watch in India, UK, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other countries

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are poised to commence a three-match T20I series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on July 10, with both nations eager to improve their rankings ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.

SL vs BAN T20I Series: Preview

Sri Lanka have dominated the preceding Test and ODI series on these home fixtures, winning the Test series 1-0 and the ODI series 2-1, but their T20I form has been patchy, with only four victories in their last eleven matches. Conversely, Bangladesh arrives under significant pressure, having lost eleven of their last fifteen T20Is, including a recent whitewash against Pakistan, and managing just one win across all formats on this tour so far.

Charith Asalanka will lead the Sri Lankan side, featuring key batter Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Kusal Perera. Despite the crucial absence of injured all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, the spin attack will rely on Maheesh Theekshana and Dunith Wellalage, with Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara spearheading the pace department. For Bangladesh, captain Litton Das leads a youthful squad that includes openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon, supported by middle-order batsmen Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain, while the bowling challenge will be taken up by experienced pacers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, alongside leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.
