The 1st ODI of the ongoing Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025 will be played on July 2. The Lankan Lions won the preceding Test series between the same teams 1-0 as the first Test ended as a draw and the home team won the second Test by an innings. Thanks to this win, the former ODI World Cup champions have gotten their first win in the ongoing World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.
Talking about the Tigers, their struggle continues across formats. In ODIs, their last win came against Sri Lanka in March 2024. They have had captaincy changes across formats and nothing positive going for them. Not to forget, since the T20 World Cup 2024, the former T20 World Cup champions have been doing well at home. This makes getting back to winning ways more challenging for Bangladesh.
