In the first T20I, Sri Lanka posted 161 on the back of solid knocks from Imesha Dulani (55) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (61). A disciplined bowling effort then saw them restrict Bangladesh to 136, sealing a comfortable 25-run victory in the series opener.
The second T20I saw another clinical effort from Sri Lanka. Batting first once again, they posted 154, with Chamari Athapaththu (42) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (49) forming the backbone of the innings. A disciplined bowling performance, led by Kavisha Dilhari’s 2/15, then restricted Bangladesh to 133, sealing a 21-run win.
For Sri Lanka, the third and final T20I will serve as the last opportunity to fine-tune their lineup ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, which begins on June 12.
Sri Lanka have featured in every edition of the tournament since its inception in 2009 but are yet to progress to the knockout stages. They will be keen to change that this year, starting with their opening fixture against hosts England, which also marks the first game of the tournament.
For Bangladesh, it will be back to the drawing board after a disappointing start to the series. The Tigresses have struggled to challenge Sri Lanka in the first two T20Is and will be keen to turn things around in the final game.
