Bangladesh will be looking to level the series when they face Sri Lanka in the second of the three-match series at the Dambulla International Cricket Stadium today.
The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm, and T Sports will telecast it live.
Tigers are in a must-win situation to keep the series alive after they suffered a seven-wicket loss against the hosts in the first match on Thursday.
The defeat marked their seventh straight loss in the format since Liton Das has been named as the full-time captain.
They have yet to secure a white-ball series victory since their last T20I series win against the West Indies in December of last year. Following that, Bangladesh have lost three consecutive series against the UAE, Pakistan and the latest ODI series to Sri Lanka.
Despite a solid start, the Tigers stumbled in the middle overs and ended with a below-par 154-5 in the first game at Pallekele on Thursday.
Sri Lanka chased down the target in 19 overs, with Kusal Mendis anchoring the innings with 73 off 51 balls while Pathum Nissanka added a quickfire 42 from 16 balls.
After being put into bat first, opener Parvez Hossain Emon scored a rapid 38 off 22 balls; however, the middle-order failed to capitalise on the strong start once he was dismissed.
Mohammad Naim (32) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (29) made promising starts but could not convert them into big scores and accelerate in the middle, which cost them the match, according to the bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed.聽
鈥榃hen a batsman is in form and gets 30s or 40s, the next challenge is to convert those into 70s and 80s,鈥� he said after the match.
Mushtaq pointed to Sri Lanka鈥檚 Kusal as a model of consistency.
鈥楾hat鈥檚 what Kusal did 鈥� he consistently made those big scores, and that鈥檚 why he troubled our bowling attack. For us, one of our batsmen needs to do the same,鈥� he said.
The former Pakistan leg-spinner also highlighted Bangladesh鈥檚 failure to execute at crucial moments.
鈥榃hen it mattered most, the execution was nowhere to be seen. Shamim [Hossain] showed intent with that reverse-sweep six, but intent must be backed by longer innings on challenging surfaces,鈥� said Mushtaq.
Bangladesh might consider bringing changes to their line-up ahead of the do-or-die clash, with wicket-keeper batter Jaker Ali Anik, who missed the series opener due to a left quadriceps injury, returning if fit.
Left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman and all-rounder Mahedi Hasan are also in contention for a comeback after being left out of the first game.
