Bangladesh (BAN) will take on Sri Lanka (SL) in Match 15 of the T20 World Cup 2024, at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, on (Saturday) June 8. The Lankans have dominated the Bengal Tigers historically in the mega ICC event. Both sides have faced twice in the T20 World Cup previously and Sri Lanka have won both games.

The forthcoming match will be Bangladesh's first of the competition. The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side was scheduled to play two warm-up games before the World Cup, but their first game against co-hosts the United States was called off due to rain without a ball being bowled. They played their other warmup game against India and were hammered by the Men in Blue, losing by 60 runs.

On the other hand, the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side was up against South Africa in their first league encounter and they were crushed by the Proteas. The Lankans could only score 77 runs in their first innings and lost the game by six wickets with 22 balls to spare. With both teams running low on confidence due to dismal performances in their previous games, both sides will be eager to register a win.

The surface for Saturday's fixture is expected to offer favourable conditions for the fast bowlers, particularly in the initial stages of the game. The new ball is expected to swing in the air and deviate off the seam when pitching on the surface, creating a conducive environment for the pace bowlers to strike early and dismiss opposition batters. The team that wins the toss will likely elect to bowl first.
