The 2nd ODI of the ongoing Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025 will be played on July 5. The home side, Lanka are leading the series 1-0 after winning the first ODI by 77 runs. They managed to defend a meagre total of 244. Thanks to mystery spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and ambidextrous Kamindu Mendis, the Bangla Tigers went from 100/2 to 105/8 in no time.
This particular collapse became a talking point among the Bangladesh fans. The team would like to correct this mistake and do better to keep the series alive. Another loss would mean that they will lose another series. The Green Brigade have not won an ODI this year which is concerning for the team with a little more than two years left in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027.
