Watch Sri Lanka Vs. Bangladesh Cricket 2nd T20 Live Stream: Start Time, Preview Of Tour Finale
The Bangladesh national cricket team wraps up its tour of Sri Lanka on Wednesday, with the second T20 International, a match that will live stream with the Tigers facing a must-win game just to leave the island on level terms with their hosts. In a two-match Test series to open the tour, Bangladesh won one — but Sri Lanka also won a Test to leave that series drawn at 1-1.
The following three-game One Day International series also ended at 1-1, due to a no-result in the second match when a downpour following the first innings wiped out the remainder of play for the day, negating an impressive century by Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis that may have proven a match-winner.
And then, on Tuesday, the two nations squared off in the first game of a two-match T20 series, as Sri Lanka took their momentum from a decisive third ODI victory into the game’s shortest format, behind two wickets from intimidating quick Lasith Malinga, to score a comfortable six-wicket victory inside of the 19th over.
To find out how to watch a live stream of the second and final T20 International match pitting Sr Lanka and Bangladesh, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. First ball is scheduled for 7 p.m. India Standard Time at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Thursday, April 6. In Bangladesh, that start time will be 7:30 p.m., while in the United States, the match gets underway at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 6:30 a.m. Pacific.

For Bangladesh, the tour finale match takes on a special meaning, because the team’s iconic captain Mashrafe bin Mortaza announced earlier this week that Thursday’s game will be the final T20 International match of his career. Though he will continue to captain the Tigers in ODI matches, Mortaza retires from the T20 format as the country’s top fast-bowling wicket taker.
Bangladesh come into Thursday’s match on an eight-game T20I losing streak.
