Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 1st test of the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh test series 2025 between SL vs BAN to be played in Galle.

Bangladesh are on tour of Sri Lanka for a multi-format series which will span one month. These teams will face each other in two tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is, which will begin with the test series.

The first test will begin on Tuesday (June 17) at the Galle International Stadium, Galle. This series is part of the new ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle – 2025-27 – and will be an important assignment for both sides.

Bangladesh have never won a test series in Sri Lanka. In fact, Bangladesh have only won one test match against Sri Lanka. So, the visitors would look to make history in the first test, which will be the last test match for retiring Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews.
