Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 1 at SSC, Colombo; Bangladesh win toss decide to bat.

The public can enter the stadium through Gate Nos. 03 and 04 to witness the match.

After a drawn first Test in Galle, the World Test Championship battle moves to Colombo, with more crucial points on the line, especially for Sri Lanka. With tough home series ahead against India and South Africa, failing to beat lower-ranked Bangladesh could prove costly.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, were closer to victory in Galle and head to Colombo confident of going one better. With away series against Australia and South Africa to come, any points here are gold.

This also marks Sri Lanka’s first Test in the post-Angelo Mathews era, with spin-bowling allrounder Sonal Dinusha likely to debut, eager to seize a rare opportunity in home conditions.
