The ODI format makes a return as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh gear up for a three-match series, beginning with the 1st ODI on July 2, 2025, in Colombo. With ODI cricket taking a backseat in recent months, this series gives both sides a chance to sharpen their 50-over strategy ahead of future tournaments.
While the pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium usually helps hitters, as games go on, the surface slows down and spinners become more useful. Batting first could be a tactical benefit when wear is anticipated.
There is a chance of rain in Colombo, which could disrupt parts of the match. Teams might want to factor in the possibility of a shortened game while planning their combinations.

Sri Lanka has home advantage, better form, and a more settled lineup. Bangladesh has shown glimpses of potential but lacks consistency and experience. Given recent results and squad strength, Sri Lanka is likely to start the series with a win.
