Tigers’ smiles shine bright as Bangladesh clinched their first-ever T20I series win in Sri Lanka.

This was Bangladesh’s first-ever series win over Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka in any format. It was also their maiden T20I series win over the hosts.

Over the past month, the visitors narrowly missed out on securing their first-ever series win in Sri Lanka in both Tests and ODIs -- squandering both chances due to a lack of consistency throughout the respective contests.

Simmons is demanding sharper execution in both batting and bowling units.

Bangladesh are on a run of five straight T20I losses following a bitter 2-1 series loss to UAE and a 3-0 hammering by Pakistan.

The T20I series, set to begin on Thursday, 10 July, will serve as a crucial preparation platform for both teams with the T20 World Cup on the horizon.
