The Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka 2025 has already delivered a thrilling ride with its competitive spirit and unpredictable results. With both the Test and ODI series going in Sri Lanka’s favour, the hosts would have hoped to carry that momentum into the T20Is. But Bangladesh had other plans. The three-match T20I series is now tied 1-1, and all eyes are on the decider – the 3rd T20I, scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.

Who Will Win Today’s Match? (AI Prediction)
The series has seen both teams shine. While Sri Lanka has home advantage and the support of a strong top order, Bangladesh’s bowling attack looked lethal in the second T20I. If they replicate that form, they could pull off a series win on Lankan soil.
