Preview
In the first ODI of the three-match series, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets on Wednesday thanks to centuries from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim (73). Najmul Hossain Shanto was the man of the match. He said, “We are aware that the new ball is quite difficult, so I used my talent and took my time. Eventually, the ball came out nicely because of the dew. I have faith in each and every bowler; Taskin and Shoriful’s return today was impressive. We benefit much from Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur’s expertise. Mushfiqur performed admirably, and I hope he keeps up his current level of performance.”
Taking full advantage of the surface support, the Bangladeshi pacers shared nine wickets between them. Bangladesh also played excellent fielding. 255 on a respectable batting surface was below average.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Anamul Haque Bijoy, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah, Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman.

Preview
Earlier in the first ODI, Kusal Mendis and Janith Liyanage, both in their fifties, helped the visitors record 255 against Bangladesh, steadiing Sri Lanka’s ship in the middle. The Lankan Lions were bowled out in 48.5 overs by Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam, who each claimed three wickets.
With a partnership of 71 runs, Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando got Sri Lanka off to a good start, with scores of 36 and 33, respectively. Then, after a 66-run partnership between Mendis and Liyanage, Sri Lanka would start to lose wickets often.
Full Squad:
Dhananjaya de Silva, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madhushanka, Nuwan Thushara.
Players to watch out for:
Kusal Mendis
Kusal Mendis scored 50 and helped Sri Lanka reach a low score of 255 runs. For Sri Lanka to win the game, he needs to convert his 50’s into big runs.
Dilshan Madhushanka
Dilshan Madhushanka took 2 wickets out of the 4 wickets Sri Lanka took in the game. Sri Lanka’s bowling department needs immediate upgrades.

It’s challenging to determine for sure if this is a bat-second or win-toss surface. A number of BPL teams concluded that chasing would be the best course of action. We anticipate that the side that wins the toss will choose to bat first against the other team.
