SL vs BAN Match Preview

The second ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will take place at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. In the first ODI of this series, Charith Asalanka's Sri Lanka completely outplayed BAN and took a 77-run lead. While batting first, SL scored 244 in 50 overs, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz's team failed to chase it down in 50 overs and was bundled out for 167 runs.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Details

SL vs BAN Head-to-Head Records

If we look at SL and BAN's head-to-head record in ODI history, we can see that they have played 58 matches against each other, with Sri Lanka dominating the rivalry and winning 44 of them, while Bangladesh only won 12 of them, and the other two ended in a no-result due to rain.

SL vs BAN Weather & Pitch Report at R Premadasa Stadium

The weather in Colombo for the 3rd ODI of the Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025 between SL vs BAN, seems not to be favourable for the match to happen. Rain is predicted on a match day, with a 69% chance of precipitation and a temperature of around 30°C.
The R Premadasa Stadium pitch is well-known for its batting-friendly nature, and bowlers will also enjoy their role while bowling in the initial overs. This pitch is used to favor batters because it is slightly flat and the ball is expected to come off a bat with an even bounce and pace. Although bowlers will enter the game with the old ball when there are chances for spin and swing. So, both pacers and spinners from both teams will look to capitalize on the opposing team during this phase.
According to the pitch overall statistics, teams that batted first here in the previous match scored an average of 280 runs. So, given this pitch, it is best to bat first after winning the toss, and then capitalize later on with the bowlers in the second innings.

Record of Chasing Teams at R Premadasa Stadium

According to previous statistics, this venue has hosted 154 ODI matches. Of those, the team that fielded first won 59 matches, contributing almost 38%, while the team that batted first won 85 matches. This clearly showed that, if the toss was won, batting first could be a viable option at this ground.

SL vs BAN Toss Prediction

We expect Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka to win the toss and choose to bat first, as previous records favoured batting first on this ground. Likewise, SL batters will try to score runs in the first inning on the fresh wicket and look to take advantage as the match progresses.
