Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Head to Head Record by Format
Covers 93 matches between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh from Jul 2004 to Sep 2025 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
The Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh head to head favours Sri Lanka by 62 wins to 23 over 93 matches from Jul 2004 to Sep 2025. That headline hides a split story, though.
Sri Lanka have been dominant in Tests and comfortable in ODIs, but T20Is are much tighter, and Bangladesh took the latest meeting, a 4-wicket win in Dubai on 20 Sep 2025.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Players: Run and Wicket Leaders
Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka) averaged 105.13 in Tests against Bangladesh, scoring 1,577 runs with 7 centuries, among them the top score of 319 at Chattogram in Feb 2014. Mushfiqur Rahim (Bangladesh) is close behind on 1,546, and his 200 at Galle in Mar 2013 came in Bangladesh’s 638, their best Test total against Sri Lanka.
Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka) needed just 8 Tests to collect 59 wickets, at 13.41 apiece and with 6 hauls of five or more. HMRKB Herath (Sri Lanka) adds 49 and the best figures, 7/89.
Mushfiqur also tops the ODI runs with 1,203, and Taskin Ahmed (Bangladesh) heads the ODI bowling with 28. On the T20I side, BKG Mendis (Sri Lanka) has 566 runs with 7 fifties, and Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh) leads the bowling with 23 wickets.

Batting first has paid off more often in ODIs (26 wins against 19), where the first innings typically reaches 252. The shorter game reverses it: chasers have 13 T20I wins to 9. Toss luck has hardly mattered in white-ball games, since the toss winner won exactly half the 22 T20Is and just over half the 45 decided ODIs, yet in Tests the side calling correctly won 12 of 18 decided matches.
