Sri Lanka plays 11 vs Bangladesh.
Opener: Pathum nissanka, Kusal Mendis (WK)
Lanka opens batting with Pathum nissanka and Kusal Mendis, second of three T20Is against Bangladesh in the ongoing series.
The duo gave Ranka a quick start in their first game. He added exactly 4.4 with 78 runs on the first wicket in under 6 overs, chasing a 154-run target and hitting Bangladesh from the match.

Both batters were equally offensive, with Nissanka taking 16 balls and Kusar Mendis earning 42 runs over half a century, leading his team to an inclusive victory.
Sri Lanka will be pleased with Patong Nissanka’s way of not running in the previous three ODI series but looking comfortable against Bangladeshi bowlers.
Promotion to open the batting, Kusar Mendis seized the opportunity with both hands and did not calm the opposition bowler.
The Charit Asalanka-led side is hoping that the opener will carry the form in the upcoming second T20I, sealing the series in this particular game itself.
Intermediate batters and all-rounders: Kusar Perera, Abishka Karnaraton, Chalis Asaranka (C), Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karnaraton
There wasn’t much to do in the opening match of the series, given that the majority of the runs were scored by the opener after the opening pair.
That being said, Kusal Perera, who is not part of the ODI team, played responsible innings to ensure that the home team didn’t collapse in the middle over.
Kusal Perera, along with Kusal Mendis, added the second most important run.
The fourth batter was Abishka Fernando and Captain Chalis Asaranka, who gave Sri Lanka a 1-0 lead in the series after the game.
Team administrators hope that the batter will replicate the form in the second T20I match.
Bowlers: Jeffrey Vanadelsai, Mahesh Tekshana, Vinura Fernando, Nuwan Tsshara
Ranka is expected to go along with two fast bowlers, two all-rounders and two spinners playing XI for the first game, and also hold the combination of the next game.
It appeared that Sri Lanka had identified a bowling lineup for the game’s format. This provides batting up to No. 7, which is extended to No. 8 when Hasaranga fits and becomes available.
Ranka had a total of four fast bowling options to play XI in the first match. This included two high-speed bowling all-arounds, Dasun Shanaka and Chamika Karnaraton.
The team’s spin bowling division will be handled by Maheesh Theekshana and Jeffrey Vandersay.
