The 1st ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is all set to take place at the Sehr-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka from 12:30 pm IST and 01:00 pm Local Time. This will be the first match of the three-match ODI series between both sides. The hosts haven’t lost an ODI series since 2018 and is currently 6^th on the ICC World Cup Super Series, while Sri Lanka is at 12^th spot.

While Tamim Iqbal will be leading the hosts, Kusal Perera will be seen leading the Sri Lankan side.

Ahead of the 1st ODI, a massive bomb exploded when 2 Sri Lankan players and a coach tested positive for COVID-19.
