Bangladesh are set to host Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, which starts at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on May 23.
The two teams last faced each other in a two-match Test series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka earlier this year. The first game ended in a draw while the hosts won their second encounter by 209 runs.
As far as their ODI matches are concerned, the Bangla Tigers squared off against New Zealand in the second half of March. Playing away from home, Bangladesh lost all three matches against the Kiwis.
Sri Lanka last played an ODI series in March as well, which was away from home against West Indies. The hosts whitewashed the Lankans to win the series 3-0.
Both sides thus come into this series on the back of losses against their respective opponents.
Head-to-Head Record: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka
The two teams have played 48 ODI matches against each other, with Sri Lanka winning 39 encounters. Bangladesh won seven games while the remaining two matches ended with no result.
Sri Lanka will, therefore, go into this series as the favorites. They will look to reach the 50-landmark with at least two wins from the three-match series.
