Bangladesh will take on Sri Lanka today (March 4) to continue the success in the short format, which will start at 6 pm at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
The success of the last few series in this format has now proved itself not an easy opponent, since 2022, the Tigers have not lost a bilateral series in this format, while Shanto-Litton has won four series against the United Arab Emirates, England, Ireland and Afghanistan.
The T20 series against the Lankans is Bangladesh's first international assignment this year, so the Red-Greens want to start with a win.
Bangladesh has won four of the 13 matches against the Lankans so far in this format, and the Tigers are getting a chance to improve their T20 record against the Lankans.
The series against the Lankans will definitely bring back memories of timed out, with the former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan appealing for a time out against Angelo Mathews for the ODI World Cup match last year, which is the first time in international cricket that the relationship between the two teams is seen.
Even in a match of the Nidahas Trophy in 2018, the relationship between the players of the two teams was not going well since the last two players, and the Tigers celebrated the victory with the Nagin dance after the thrilling victory against the Lankans.
Shakib, who gave birth to time out, is now not in the Bangladesh team captain, he is not in the team due to eye problems.
On the other hand, due to the ICC ban, Sri Lanka will not get the regular T20 captain Hasaranga in the first two matches of the series, and vice-captain Charith Asalanka will lead the team for the first two matches of the series in the first two matches of the series.
Meanwhile, off-spinner Alis Al Islam has been out of the injury despite getting a chance in the national team, and his injury has been included in the wicketkeeper-batter Zakir Ali Anik.
