SL vs BAN, T20 World Cup 2024: Date, Time, Venue, Head To Head Stats, Pitch, Weather Report, Playing XI and Squads. The T20 World Cup 2024 has its 15th match between Sri Lanka (SL) and Bangladesh (BAN). It will be taking place at the Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, Texas, United States on Saturday, June 8th with a kickoff time set for 6:00 AM IST.
They suffered a big loss in their first match and if they lose this next one too then they might be out sooner than expected. In New York, Sri Lanka made a disappointing start to their tournament with South Africa beating them for 77. Even though the total was quite small Sri Lankan bowlers fought well enough which was appreciable but unfortunately failed to bring victory for their team but it was not sufficient to earn them a win, said CBS Sports.
While opening their T20 World Cup campaign, the Bangladesh team led by Najmul Shanto is hoping for a positive start whereas their counterpart will go into the game trying to recover from a loss sustained during one warm-up match against India. Despite their heavy defeat in the hands of India during their one warm-up game, Bangladesh will be aiming to reverse fortunes but should perform better than they did last time out where they managed just a single victory out of the latest five T20 International meetings with Sri Lanka.

Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report
At Grand Prairie Stadium, three matches have unfolded with distinctly different outcomes. In the first match, plenty of runs (195) were easily chased down in a high-scoring affair. Second and third match scores stood at 107 and 160 respectively going to super overs with difficulty achieving. Given the past two games’ trend, it looks like fast bowlers will enjoy themselves on this pitch while batsmen might find things tough. However, teams consistently find it most advantageous to win the coin toss and choose to field first.
