Bangladesh cricket captain Litton Das believes his team can turn things around when they face Sri Lanka in the T20 series starting Thursday night. The Tigers have been struggling badly after losing both their Test and ODI series against the hosts. Das says the Twenty20 format gives his players a fresh chance to prove themselves at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM local time with Bangladesh desperate for some positive results. Das insists T20 cricket is completely different from the longer formats where his team has been failing.
The Bangladesh skipper admits Sri Lanka will be tough to beat on their home ground with experienced spinners who know how to win games. His team recently lost T20 series against both UAE and Pakistan under his leadership. Das credits the Sri Lankan bowlers for having several mystery players who can change matches quickly. The captain knows his side faces another major challenge against confident opponents. He says the home team has strong bowling with plenty of variations that trouble visiting batsmen.
Das had a terrible run in the ODI matches and got benched after scoring just 13 runs in eight innings during 2025. The 30 year old used his time away from the team to practice specifically for the T20 format. He wants to use that preparation to help his team bounce back from recent disappointments. The three match series continues on July 13 and 16 with Bangladesh hoping to avoid another whitewash. Das believes playing in Sri Lanka will help prepare his team for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
