SL vs BAN 2025: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 3rd T20I Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket

On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will play the third Twenty20 International of the Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka 2025 at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Kusal Mendis' outstanding 73-run innings was a major factor in the Lankan Lions' resounding seven-wicket victory in the first Twenty20 International. But in the second game, the Bangla Tigers made a great comeback, led by captain Litton Das, who scored an important 76 runs. Together, they bowled tightly and won by 83 runs to tie the series. Given that they have already lost the Test and ODI legs of their current tour, the tourists would be keen to win the series. On the other side, Sri Lanka would like to defeat Litton & Co. on Wednesday to make it 3-nil.
