Sri Lanka had squared off against Bangladesh in their last match, where Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. It was not a good decision as they did not start as they would have hoped for. Najmul Hossain Shanto did play a fine knock at one end, but he did not get enough support from the other end, and as a result, they were bowled out at a mere total of 164. In the chase, Sri Lanka also lost early wickets and looked in trouble, but the fifties from Samarawickrama and Asalanka put them back on track, and they won the match by five wickets.
