Bangladesh are set to begin their all-format tour of Sri Lanka with a two-match Test series that kicks off the 2025–27 World Test Championship cycle for both sides. But if history is anything to go by, they’ve got an uphill task ahead.
Sri Lanka haven't only thrashed at home, they've thrashed abroad as well, humiliating Bangladesh in their past three Tests overseas by margins of 10 wickets (2022), 328 runs, and 192 runs (both 2024). Bangladesh have not defeated them in a Test since 2017, when they squeaked home with a four-wicket victory in Colombo.

Their last meeting in Sri Lanka was back in 2021. After the first match ended in a draw, the hosts pulled off a convincing 209-run victory in the second Test at Pallekele, thanks to standout knocks from Dimuth Karunaratne (118) and Lahiru Thirimanne (140).
This time, the Tigers are hoping to turn the tide but the ghosts of past scorecards won’t be easy to ignore.
