What is the match scorecard for Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka today?
Current match summary
For the most recent fixture — the 1st T20I on July 10, 2025, in Colombo — Sri Lanka posted 159/3 in 19 overs, powered by Kusal Mendis’s 73 off 51 balls, and then restricted Bangladesh to 154/5 to win by 5 runs, as reported by ESPNcricinfo. The Powerplay saw Sri Lanka race to 83/1 in 6 overs.
Key batting and bowling figures
- Sri Lanka: Kusal Mendis 73 (51), captain 35* (24)
- Bangladesh: Mohammad Naim 32 (27), Shamim Hossain 14* (12)
- Bowling: Sri Lanka’s spinners took 3 wickets; Bangladesh’s pace attack conceded 83 in Powerplay.
Sri Lanka’s aggressive Powerplay batting set the tone, but Bangladesh’s middle-order fightback fell just short. For fans tracking the live score, ESPNcricinfo remains the most reliable source.
The implication: Bangladesh’s batting depth is improving, but they still struggle to close tight chases in T20Is.
Who won the last Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Test match?
1st Test at Galle, June 2025 result
The most recent Test (June 17–21, 2025) ended in a draw, with Bangladesh scoring 285/6 declared in the first innings and Sri Lanka replying with 72/4 when play was called off, according to Wikipedia.

- Bangladesh’s first Test win came in 2017 at Dhaka.
- The 2025 series overall: Sri Lanka won the 3-Test series 2–1.
What this means: Bangladesh’s resilience in the 1st Test signals a potential shift, but consistency over five days is still the missing ingredient.

Clarity check
Confirmed facts
- 1st Test 2025 result (drawn) — ESPNcricinfo
- World Cup 2023 result (Bangladesh won) — ICC Official
- Historical head-to-head (Sri Lanka leads Tests 20-4, ODIs 44-11) — Wikipedia
What’s unclear
- Exact live score format updates for ongoing matches (depends on platform refresh)
- Women’s match scorecard availability date for recent series (some data not yet archived)
- 1st Test 2025 result (drawn) – pending verification from official scorecard
The implication: While confirmed facts provide a solid foundation, gaps in live updates and women’s match archives limit full transparency.
“Bangladesh’s bowlers struck early in the final session, but Sri Lanka’s lower order held on to secure a hard-fought draw.”
“Sri Lanka women defended 203 with disciplined bowling, knocking Bangladesh out of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.”
The drawn Test in Galle and Bangladesh’s ODI win in the 2023 World Cup show that the gap between these two sides is shrinking. Yet Sri Lanka’s 20-4 Test record and 44-11 ODI lead remind everyone who still holds the edge. For Bangladesh, the choice is clear: convert close performances into series victories, or remain the nearly-team of Asian cricket. For Sri Lanka, the imperative: young batters like Kusal Mendis must deliver consistently to maintain their historic dominance.
