Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat
Both the teams need to adjust to the shortest format of the game as they just completed the two-Test series. The first Test was drawn while the second one was won by Sri Lanka by a massive 219 runs.
Bangladesh team news
Nazmul Islam or Mahendi Hassan are likely to make their debuts for Bangladesh with today's game. Bangladesh needs to put up a decent score batting first if they have any plans to contain the in-form Sri Lankan batsmen.
Weather and pitch conditions
The pitch is slow and expected to assist the batsmen, but then again the slow bowlers too will benefit out of it. Particularly when it becomes dark and the dew factor comes into play.
The temperature in Dhaka is warm and the full game is expected.
Playing XI of Bangladesh for the 1st T20I against Sri Lanka.
