Bangladesh has not won any Test match against Sri Lanka at home till now. So in the Sylhet Test, Bangladesh has a chance to make history.
Bangladesh has won the toss today as they entered the field with a strong hunger to win the match. After winning the toss, Tiger captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto decided to field. Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva has been invited to bat.
Today, Bangladesh is entering the field with the hope of winning the match at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The match will start at 10 am Bangladesh time.
Mushfiqur Rahim is not in the Test series against the Lankans. The experienced right-handed wicket-keeper batsman has been ruled out of the series due to a finger injury during practice. In his place, young batsman Tawhid Hriday has joined the Tigers XI.
The Tigers have faced the Lankans 10 times in their own field. Bangladesh has managed to draw three of these matches. The remaining 7 had to take the bitter taste of defeat.
Bangladesh has won only one of the 24 matches against Sri Lanka. That was in 2017 at the Sara Oval Stadium in Colombo by 4 wickets. The best performer of that match was Tamim Iqbal and the best cricketer of the series was Shakib Al Hasan.
