Sri Lanka and Bangladesh face off in the decisive third T20I of their closely contested series today at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. With the series locked at 1-1, both teams have everything to play for in what promises to be a thrilling finale under lights. The coin flip of the match went in Sri Lanka's way, who opted to bat first.
Bangladesh head into the match with renewed confidence after a comprehensive six-wicket win in the second T20I. Skipper Litton Das’s return to form—an aggressive 76 off 50 balls—was a major boost, while the side’s collective effort with both bat and ball showed signs of a well-rounded unit. This was only Bangladesh’s second T20I win in eight games in 2025, and they’ll hope to build on the momentum with similar partnerships and a strong finish with the bat.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, must regroup after collapsing for just 94 in the second game—their lowest T20I total at home. Captain Charith Asalanka will be expecting a response from his experienced top order, especially Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, who impressed in the series opener. With a familiar pitch at Premadasa and high stakes, both teams are poised for a hard-fought series decider.
