Bangladesh will aim to bounce back after losing to the same opposition in the group stage.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das explained the decision to bowl first. “When I saw the first leg, all the matches were won by the teams batting second easily. And, I am a bit confused about the pitch, that's why we chose to bowl. When you qualify, you have an opportunity to play all the three game. We are very excited to play the game. All the members of the team are doing a great job, so I am very happy. Two changes. Sohan and Rishad not playing. Shoriful and Shak (Mahedi Hasan),” he said.

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said his team is sticking with the same squad. “I would have done the same thing but the pitch is on the dry side. It's a used pitch, doesn't matter if we bat. Lot of young players have come into the side since 2021 they and are now maturing. We are going with the same XI,” he said.
