Asia Cup T20 2025: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 5th T20I
The Asia Cup T20 2025 brings another exciting clash as Bangladesh (BAN) face Sri Lanka (SL) in the 5th T20I at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday, September 18, 7:30 PM local (9:00 PM IST). Both teams are eyeing crucial points to strengthen their path to the knockout stage.
Head-to-head, Sri Lanka have historically held the upper hand in T20Is, but Bangladesh have shown significant improvement in recent years, making this a closely contested rivalry. The Sharjah pitch is batting-friendly with short boundaries, though spinners often get assistance in the middle overs.
Key players for Bangladesh include Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mustafizur Rahman, while Sri Lanka will depend on Kusal Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Matheesa Pathirana to turn the game in their favor.
With more experience in pressure matches, Sri Lanka start as slight favorites, but Bangladesh’s recent form and fearless batting unit could make this encounter a thriller. The chasing team is likely to enjoy an edge under Sharjah lights.
