SL Vs BAN 2nd T20Is FREE Live Streaming Details: When And Where To Watch Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2nd T20 Match Live Telecast On TV, Mobile APPs Online

SL vs BAN: The stage is set for the second T20I of the three-match series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Sunday, July 13. With Sri Lanka leading the series 1-0, Bangladesh face a must-win scenario to stay alive in their quest for a historic series win. Sri Lanka Cruise to Victory in Series Opener Sri Lanka made a dominant start to the series, registering a comfortable win in the first T20I. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis were in scintillating form, sharing a 78-run partnership that gave the home side early momentum. Mendis, who smashed 73 runs off 51 balls, was named Player of the Match for his attacking knock, while Nissanka provided the perfect support with a blistering 42 off just 16 deliveries. Vandersay Steps Up in Hasaranga's Absence With star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga unavailable, Jeffrey Vandersay grabbed his chance with both hands. The leg-spinner bowled with control and guile, strengthening Sri Lanka's spin department in Hasaranga's absence. His contribution will again be crucial as the hosts aim to wrap up the series in the second match. Bangladesh in Do-or-Die Situation Having never won a bilateral T20I series against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh now find themselves on the back foot. The Litton Das-led side will need to put in an improved performance to level the series. In the first match, only Mehidy Hasan Miraz (29) and Mohammad Naim (32)* offered resistance with the bat, while the rest of the lineup struggled to get going. Bangladesh will need a much more cohesive effort, especially from their top and middle-order batters, to pose a challenge in Dambulla.

Hamstring injury rules Hasaranga out of T20I series against Bangladesh

Sri Lanka will be without their star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, starting Thursday, after the bowler suffered a hamstring injury during the final One-day International (ODI) of the recently-concluded series. Hasaranga sustained the injury to his right leg while batting in the third ODI, forcing him out of the T20I leg of the tour. The 26-year-old played a pivotal role in the opening ODI, triggering a dramatic Bangladeshi collapse with a match-defining spell that laid the foundation for Sri Lanka's 2-1 series win. Despite his importance to the side, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has not announced any replacement. Hasaranga will return to Colombo and begin his rehabilitation process at the High Performance Center (HPC) with hopes of being fit for the upcoming international assignments later this year. In Hasaranga's absence, Charith Asalanka will lead a reshuffled Sri Lankan side looking to bounce back after a disappointing T20I series against New Zealand earlier this year. The selectors have made several changes, with experienced names like Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, and Kusal Perera forming the core of the batting unit alongside emerging talents like Kamindu Mendis and Avishka Fernando. The bowling attack will rely on the pace of Matheesha Pathirana, Binura Fernando, and Nuwan Thushara, while Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, and Jeffrey Vandersay are expected to shoulder the spin responsibilities in Hasaranga's absence. The three-match T20I series provides a vital opportunity for Sri Lanka to test their bench strength and fine-tune combinations ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup next year. With Hasaranga missing out, the focus now shifts to how the rest of the squad steps up in his absence and maintains the momentum from their ODI series win. Earlier, Mendis smashed his sixth ODI hundred and led Sri Lanka to a commanding 99-run victory in the third and final one-day international as the home team clinched the series 2-1. Mendis marshaled Sri Lanka to 285-7 with an aggressive 124 off 114 balls after captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat. The Bangladeshi batters struggled against the pace of Dushmantha Chameera and Asitha Fernando, who shared six wickets between them to bowl out the visitors for 186 and give Sri Lanka an eighth successive win in a home ODI series.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20I Series 2025: Where To Watch Live, Match Timings, Key Players & Predictions

As Sri Lanka gears up to host Bangladesh for a much-anticipated three-match T20I series starting July 10, the spotlight shifts sharply to Maheesh Theekshana, who will lead the Lankan bowling charge in the absence of the injured Wanindu Hasaranga. The series promises thrilling action across Kandy, Dambulla, and Colombo — and fans can catch all matches live at 7:00 PM IST on SonyLIV, FanCode, and the Sony Sports Network in India. Sri Lanka suffered a major blow ahead of the T20I leg as Wanindu Hasaranga, their premier spinner and a consistent match-winner, was ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained while batting in the third ODI. Hasaranga's absence not only weakens the spin department but also removes a key all-rounder from the middle order. He was Sri Lanka's top wicket-taker in the ODI series, bagging 9 wickets at a stunning average under 12. Who is Leading the Charge for Sri Lanka in Hasaranga's Absence? Maheesh Theekshana steps up as the leader of the spin attack. Though wicketless in the third ODI, his economical spell of 0/18 in six overs played a pivotal role in defending 285. Theekshana has been in stellar form, finishing as Rajasthan Royals' joint-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2025 alongside Hasaranga and Jofra Archer. Currently ranked eighth in the ICC T20I bowling rankings, Theekshana will be expected to control the middle overs and strike at crucial moments — especially against a Bangladesh side hungry for redemption. Where to Watch Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20I 2025 Live in India? Live Streaming: SonyLIV and FanCode apps & websites Live Telecast: Sony Sports Network TV channels Match Timings: 7:00 PM IST on July 10, 13 & 16 Venues: 1st T20I – Pallekele International Stadium 2nd T20I – Rangiri Dambulla Stadium 3rd T20I – R. Premadasa Stadium Can Bangladesh Bounce Back in the T20 Format? After losing the Test (0-1) and ODI (1-2) series, Bangladesh faces a crucial test in the shortest format. Skipper Litton Das will need to rally a side that has talent but lacks consistency. With big hitters like Towhid Hridoy and pace threats like Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, Bangladesh have the arsenal to challenge Sri Lanka — but execution will be key. Who are the Players to Watch in the SL vs BAN T20Is? Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka) The skipper has been Sri Lanka's batting mainstay across formats. With over 1200 T20I runs and a calm head under pressure, Asalanka will be vital at No. 3 or 4. Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh) The left-arm pacer is Bangladesh's death-overs specialist. With 134 wickets in 107 T20I innings, his variations could trouble even set batters late in the innings. Maheesh Theekshana (Sri Lanka) A spin wizard in the powerplay and middle overs, Theekshana's ability to choke run flow while picking key wickets could define the series. What Does History Say About SL vs BAN T20 Encounters? In 17 head-to-head T20Is, Sri Lanka leads 11-6. At home, they've traditionally held the upper hand with superior spin options and more experience in crunch games. However, Bangladesh has improved significantly in T20s in recent years, making this series far more competitive than numbers suggest. What Are the Match Predictions for the 1st T20I? Scenario 1: Sri Lanka bat first Powerplay: 40-50 Total: 155-165 Likely Result: Sri Lanka win Scenario 2: Bangladesh bat first Powerplay: 45-55 Total: 150-160 Likely Result: Bangladesh win Toss will be crucial. The side batting first is expected to have an edge on Kandy's slightly slower pitch. What's at Stake in the SL vs BAN T20 Series? For Sri Lanka, a clean sweep will complete a dominant all-format series win and set the tone ahead of the Asia Cup. For Bangladesh, it's a chance to salvage pride, experiment with fresh talent, and gain momentum heading into the T20 World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

Wanindu Hasaranga ruled out of upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh due to a hamstring injury

New Delhi [India], July 9 (ANI): Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. He sustained a hamstring injury on his right leg while batting during the final ODI against Bangladesh, according to the ICC website. The series is scheduled to begin from Thursday, 10 July. Hasaranga, who played a pivotal role in the ODI series to help Sri Lanka turn around the game in the first ODI against Bangladesh, inflicting a record collapse, picked up an injury during the final ODI. The hosts, who clinched the ODI series 2-1, will not be opting for a replacement for Hasaranga, while he will return to Colombo to commence his rehabilitation process at the High Performance Centre. Charith Asalanka will lead the Sri Lankan side, who have made a number of changes to their T20I squad, after losing to New Zealand early this year. Coming to the match, Sri Lanka batter Kusal Mendis slammed his sixth ODI hundred, which guided the hosts to a comfortable 99-run victory over Bangladesh at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. With this win, the Islanders clinched the three-match ODI series 2-1, as per the International Cricket Council (ICC) official website. Mendis smashed a superb 124 from just 115 deliveries as Sri Lanka amassed 285/7 in the series decider, and that proved too much for Bangladesh as they were bundled out for 186 in reply. It saw Sri Lanka clinch a 2-1 series triumph, with Mendis hitting his sixth ODI century and deservedly named Player of the Series for his 225 runs across the three matches Sri Lanka Squad: Charith Asalanka (c), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Avishka Fernando, Dasun Shanaka, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Chamika Karunaratne, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Binura Fernando, and Eshan Malinga.
