Having won their first game in the Asia Cup 2025, Bangladesh will be aiming for their second win on the trot when Litton Das’ men face Sri Lanka in a group B encounter on Saturday (September 13) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The BAN vs SL clash starts at 8 PM IST. A win for Bangladesh today will help them move a step further towards Super 4.

Against Hong Kong, Bangladesh had it easy. They first restricted the opposition to below 150 before captain Litton guided the team to a seven wicket victory with a half century. Having said that, the clash against Sri Lanka will be completely different and not at all easy.

A former champion, Sri Lanka are entering the continental showpiece after a 2-1 series win over lower-ranked Zimbabwe. In fact, it was in the second match against Zimbabwe that Sri Lanka were bundled out for 80. Prior to the Zimbabwe series, Sri Lanka had lost 1-2 against Bangladesh.

Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Time: 8 PM IST | 6:30 PM Gulf Standard Time
