Excitement builds as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh begin their crucial ODI series in Colombo, aiming for World Cup momentum.

The stage is set in Colombo as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh clash in a pivotal three-match ODI series, commencing today at the iconic R Premadasa Stadium. Both teams are on a mission to regain their footing in the 50-over format, with eyes firmly fixed on the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup. The first two matches, taking place on July 2 and July 5, promise to be thrilling encounters, starting at 2:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh, still reeling from an early exit in the 2025 Champions Trophy, seeks redemption, while Sri Lanka, who missed the cut for that tournament, is equally determined to showcase their prowess. The R Premadasa Stadium, a venue steeped in history with 155 ODIs played, has seen teams batting first triumph 84 times, a statistic that could influence strategies today. Notably, the highest individual score here stands at a remarkable 169, achieved by Kumar Sangakkara in 2013.

Adding a touch of the unexpected, an uninvited guest—a snake—made an appearance on the field, creating a buzz among players and fans alike. As the series unfolds, the focus remains on both teams striving to carve out a path to ODI success. For more insights, check out cricket and cricket updates.
