The Sri Lankan visitors scripted a remarkable fightback to clinch the three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin after losing the 1st game by 3 wickets. The caravan moved onto the three-match T20I series, and the Chamari Athapaththu-led side went 1-0 up in the series by winning the 1st T20I by 25 runs.
Harshitha Samarawickrama was the stand-out performer with the bat for Sri Lanka, as she registered a counter-attacking half-century (61 off 35 balls), scoring at a strike rate of 174.29, which included five boundaries and a couple of maximums, playing a crucial role in setting up a challenging total. As a result, she was awarded the Player of the Match. As far as the bowling department is concerned, skipper Chamari Athapaththu (4-0-19-2), Malki Madara (4-1-31-2), and Mithali Ayodhya (4-0-34-2) were the stand-out performers with the ball, while Sugandika Kumari (4-0-29-0) and Kavisha Dilhari (4-0-23-0) were impressive in their spells.

Sri Lanka Won: 11
Bangladesh Won: 3
The Chamari Athapaththu-led Sri Lankan unit clearly has the upper hand over the home side in the T20I format. The lead only extended to 11 wins after they took a 1-0 lead by winning the 1st T20I by a comfortable margin. However, it’s a massive opportunity for the home side to read their home conditions well and play accordingly to level the three-match T20I series.
