The 3rd T20I of the ongoing Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025 will be played on July 16. The series is leveled 1-1 after the Bangla Tigers beat the Lankan Lions by 83 runs. For the second time during the series, the Green Brigade have gotten a chance to win a series in Sri Lanka. They had leveled the ODI series 1-1 going into the 3rd and last ODI. However, they ended up losing that game.
This time around, the Litton Das-led side have a chance to win a T20I series in the island nation. This has never happened before, in fact, Bangladesh have never won a T20I series against the former T20 World Cup champions. Both teams have returned to Colombo, where they played two ODIs before moving to Pallekele.
