    Sheikh Zayed Stadium: Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first against Bangladesh in the fifth match of the Asia Cup 2025, a Group B clash at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Saturday.

    For Bangladesh, pacer Taskin Ahmed, who took two wickets in their opening match against Hong Kong, will not feature in the clash and will be replaced by Shoriful Hasan. Sri Lanka skipper Asalanka confirmed that all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga will play their opening clash.

    Toss-winning Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said, “We are going to bowl, it looks like a new pitch, so we want to bowl. Obviously yes. It's a good memory, and we want to keep the momentum up. It's a good challenge as a captain, and we have a good bunch of players. 7-4 combo and three all-rounders. Hasaranga is playing.”
