On July 2, 2025, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka (SL) will play Bangladesh (BAN) in the opening One-Day International (ODI) of the three-match series. Having won 1-0 in the just-finished Test series earlier in June after the first meeting ended in a draw, the hosts are into the white-ball match with momentum. Leading the Sri Lankan team will be Charith Asalanka, who is keen to continue the winning streak by winning the first game of the ODI series.
However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who replaced Najmul Hossain Shanto as white-ball captain, will be in charge of Bangladesh. The visitors will be just as eager to recover from the Test series defeat and get their campaign off to a strong start under their new captain.
