Asia Cup 2018: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live score updates
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh teams record in recent past
Since the start of 2017, in 39 matches Sri Lanka have won only lost 29 matches. Mathews and company can take some confidence from the way they ended the last ODI series at home against South Africa. After going down 0-3, a face-saving, pride-restoring comeback was made to leave with a respectable scoreline of 2-3. The team's transition phase is taking too long and internal issues like administration of the Board and pay disputes have plagued them for quite a while now. However, Bangladesh come into the tournament on the back of a 2-1 series win over the Windies in the Caribbean.
