The Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas is all set to host the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2024 match on Saturday, June 8 from 6 am IST. This is the fourth and final game at the venue in this year's World Cup.

Bangladesh kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka. They lost to India in the warm-up match. Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead the side with veterans like Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan part of the side. The Tigers lost a T20I series against Sri Lanka earlier this year and want to make up for it.

Sri Lanka will be led by Wanindu Hasaranga. He was dismissed trying to play a rash shot in the last game against South Africa. His team was bowled out for just 77 in the last game with South Africa winning. Having lost the first game, Sri Lanka have a lot of ground to make to qualify for the next round. Bangladesh will test them.

The pitch at the Grand Prairie Stadium played well in the first game where Canada posted 194 batting first and the USA chased the score down. Nepal could not quite replicate the same performance against the Netherlands.
