Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20I series 2025 is going on 2nd T20I match played in Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele at 7:00 PM, stay updated with ScoreWaves for Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh fantasy cricket tips
After a commanding win in the opening T20I, Sri Lanka are just one step away from sealing the series. With momentum firmly on their side, they’ll look to wrap things up when they face Bangladesh in the second T20I at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Sunday, July 13th.
Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka, were clinical in Game 1. Openers Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka set the tone with a blistering start, dominating the powerplay and laying the foundation for a strong total. Mendis, riding high on recent form, led from the front with a fluent half-century. Despite missing star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka’s bowling unit stepped up. Jeffrey Vandersay and Maheesh Theekshana delivered timely breakthroughs, ensuring Bangladesh never truly got into the chase.
On the other hand, Bangladesh now face a must-win situation. Their performance in the first match exposed familiar issues: inconsistent batting, especially in the middle overs, and lack of control during the powerplay with the ball. While Parvez Hossain Emon showed promise, the team struggled to build partnerships and post a competitive total. Taskin Ahmed and the bowling attack couldn’t stem the run flow early on, letting Sri Lanka take the game away. Captain Litton Das and the coaching staff will be under pressure to make tactical changes. Expect a more aggressive mindset, both with the bat and ball, as they fight to keep the series alive.
This 2nd T20I promises high-intensity cricket between two passionate rivals. Can Sri Lanka seal the deal, or will Bangladesh bounce back and force a decider? Either way, fans are in for a thrilling evening!
Head-to-Head: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh - Who Holds the Advantage?
If we talk about head to head record, then both the teams have faced each other 17 times in which Sri Lanka has won 11 matches where as Bangladesh have won 6 matches and 0 match without no result. In such a situation, Sri Lanka will have an advantage in this match because they will be playing on their home ground.
The matches between the two teams are always tough. Sri Lankan team is looking in good form but Bangladesh' main batsmen need to take responsibility as they are getting out after getting set in previous series vs Afghanistan. For Sri Lanka, both openers Pathum Nissanka and Nishan Madushka have looking in good touch.
Total Matches Played: 17
Sri Lanka Wins: 11
Bangladesh Wins: 6
No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0
Despite Sri Lanka having the firepower of Pathum Nissanka, Nishan Madushka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage, Bangladesh' all-around strength and explosive players Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto, give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?
As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, West Indies might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, but Sri Lankan balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga make them a formidable opponent. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.
Injury Update:
Currently no injury concerns from both sides.

The 2nd T20I match between Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, will be played on 13 July at 7:00 PM in Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele. The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium hosted a total of 26 T20I matches, 14 matches won batting first and 9 matches won batting 2nd and 3 matches with no result. The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium pitch is generally considered balanced, offering something for both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the innings, seamers might find some assistance due to moisture, while as the game progresses and the pitch dries, spinners tend to come into play, especially in the latter half of the match.
