Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Match Preview: After the T20I series, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will go up against each other in the 1st ODI match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram.

Bangladesh will be hoping to win the home series against Sri Lanka, which won the T20I series after winning the last match by 28 runs because Nuwan Thushara scored an amazing hat-trick in his first over after Mathees Pathirana was ruled out of the match. Kusal Mendis’s batting performance was also amazing in the last match, which gave Sri Lanka a good platform to post a total of 174 runs in 20 overs.

The amazing cameo by Rishad Hossain will be a highlight for the Bangladesh side as he scored an amazing 53-run innings in just 30 balls, hitting 7 sixes. Bangladesh needs to improve its gameplay because it is not getting back at its best, which it has shown in the past few years, but last year, it had a bad performance.
