Bangladesh And Sri Lanka Face Off In T20 World Cup 2024 Match 15

The much-anticipated Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka clash will take place in Match 15 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Saturday, June 8. The match is scheduled to start at 6:00 AM IST and SLT, and at 6:30 AM in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka recently faced off in a three-match T20I series in March, where Sri Lanka emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. The Wanindu Hasaranga-led team has won four of their last five T20I matches against Bangladesh.

Last year, a major controversy erupted during the ODI World Cup when Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh appealed for a timed-out dismissal against Angelo Mathews. The umpire declared Mathews out as per ICC rules, leading to a heated debate about the 'Spirit of Cricket'. Bangladesh won that match by three wickets.

Sri Lanka lost their first match against South Africa by six wickets in New York. This will be Bangladesh's first match in the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup 2024. Netherlands and Nepal are also part of Group D.
