Bangladesh will kickstart their campaign in the Asia Cup 2023 as they square off against the defending champions Sri Lanka in their opening game at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on 31st August at 3:00 PM IST.
The Bangladeshi Tigers have reappointed the experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan as their new skipper ahead of the tournament and they would like to leave the off-field controversies behind them. It will be a vital game as there will be no room for slip-ups as a loss here would turn their next game into a do-or-die contest.
