Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 LIVE Updates: We are minutes away from the toss of an exciting match. Sri Lanka, co-hosting the Asia Cup 2023 with Pakistan, face Bangladesh on Thursday after injuries forced them to drop two key players at the last minute. They won the tournament in the T20 format last year but it reverts to the ODI format as a prelude to the 50-over World Cup in India, which starts on October 5. Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and fast-bowler Dushmantha Chameera will sit out the tournament after being named in the original 15-member squad. Bangladesh has also suffered a setback batter Liton Das was ruled out of the tournament with viral fever. (LIVE SCORECARD)
