The hosts were trailing 0–1 in the series and up against Hasan Mahmud, a medium-pacer making his debut in Chattogram.
In the second Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Chattogram, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat.
After Kasun Rajitha sustained a back injury, Asitha Fernando took over, and the visiting team chose to continue with a three-seamer setup. The only other required alteration was this one.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh gained further momentum with the return of Shakib Al Hasan. In April of last year, Shakib Al Hasan participated in his last Test match against Ireland.
Hasan Mahmud, a right-arm medium-pacer, was another newbie. Shoriful Islam and Nahid Rana were not allowed to stay with the hosts. Bangladesh had just two quicks left for the game as a result.
Chattogram has one of the best batting surfaces in the nation in terms of pitch and conditions; the field appears to be dry with very little grass. At Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, the past three Test matches between these two teams have all resulted in draws.
There was cloud cover before the day began as well, but there is a little probability of showers on the first and last days even though the rain should mostly avoid us.
Sri Lanka won the first Test by a dominant 328 runs, and they currently lead the two-match series 1-0. Following three matches each, both sides had equal points in the World Test Championship table (12 total)
