Due to logistical and diplomatic issues, <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/ind-tour-of-ban-2025-for-white-ball-cricket-start-from-august-17/2378" style="text-decoration:none">India&#39;s August 2025 visit to Bangladesh</a>, which included three ODIs and three T20Is, has been rescheduled to September 2026.&nbsp; Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has proposed a replacement white-ball series against India to keep the momentum moving forward before the Asia Cup and the ICC Women&#39;s World Cup.

<h2>Series Proposal</h2>

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received a proactive approach from Sri Lanka, offering a six-match bilateral series in August 2025, which is likely to consist of three ODIs and three T20Is. This window fits in nicely with the calendars on both boards:

Sri Lanka has a slot open till late August before their tour of Zimbabwe, following the conclusion of a home series against Bangladesh in July.

By August 4, India will have completed their Test series in England of the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-vs-england-test-series-2025-full-schedules-venues-full-squads-etc/2324" style="text-decoration:none">India tour of England 2025</a>, allowing for a trip before the Asia Cup.

<h3>Implications</h3>

The potential international comeback of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have stepped back from several formats, is a major lure of this series. In order to build India&#39;s best team possible for the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/asia-cup-2025-india-and-uae-to-host-begins-from-september-12/2379" style="text-decoration:none">Asia Cup 2025, which starts on September 12th in India and the UAE</a>, this tour may serve as an important reintroduction to international white-ball cricket for both players.

<h3>Strategic Importance</h3>

The show would achieve several strategic objectives:

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Before the Asia Cup, provide match practice under Sri Lankan conditions.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Assist Sri Lanka in completing the Lanka Premier League and other competitive gaps left by cancellations.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Boost cricket relations between India and Sri Lanka in light of changing international schedules.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Sri Lanka Cricket Board has offered a proposal for white ball cricket to BCCI in the month of August 2025, after India's tour of Bangladesh is rescheduled.

<h2>Who Will Win the 3rd Test Match?</h2>

Strong batting, powerful spinners, and Bumrah&#39;s comeback have given India a lot of confidence. India&#39;s hitters may be troubled early by England&#39;s redesigned pace attack at Lord&#39;s. At Edgbaston, though, their bowling depth came to light.

<h2>ENG vs IND Pitch Report &ndash; Lord&rsquo;s</h2>

This Lord&rsquo;s field provides balanced and friendly conditions

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Expect seam movement, bounce, and pace, particularly early in the innings, as both teams want to take advantage of it with bowling attacks.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">The sailors can benefit from natural variation, particularly from the Pavilion End, thanks to the renowned Lord&#39;s Hill (2.5 m gradient).</li>

<h2>Match Summary</h2>

<h3>The England batter struggled against Radha-Shree, England just scored 126</h3>

After winning the toss, England Women batted first but found it difficult to get going. Sophia Dunkley (22) and Tammy Beaumont (20) were the leading scorers as they finished at 126/7 in 20 overs. With no fours from overs 11 to 19, England struggled to score boundaries. Their batting was dried up by India&#39;s early wickets and tight bowling.

India bowlers, Radha Yadav and Shree Charani, took 2-2 wickets, stopping England batters under 130.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h3>Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana&#39;s massive innings, India achieved the target in just 17 overs</h3>

The tone was set early on by Shafali Verma (31 off 19) and Smriti Mandhana (32 off 31), who hammered 53 runs in just the powerplay. Sophie Ecclestone and Issy Wong applied pressure, removing Verma and Mandhana as England came back with spin.

Final touches: India went home with confidence thanks to Harmanpreet Kaur (26), Jemimah Rodrigues (24*), and Richa Ghosh. They finished at 127/4 in 17 overs, winning by six wickets with 18 balls remaining.

<h2>Final T20I On July 12, Then Time For 3-Match ODI Series</h2>

On July 8, the 3 ODI played between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Kandy, of <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/bangladesh-tour-of-sri-lanka-2025-test-odi-and-t20i-in-june-july/2248" style="text-decoration:none">Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025</a>. Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 99 runs. Kusal Mendis&rsquo;s 124, Sri Lanka claim the 3-match ODI series by 2-1.

<h2>Match Summary</h2>

<h3>Kusal Mendis&rsquo;s Massive inning ton of 124 runs, SL scored 285</h3>

Captain Charith Asalanka chose to bat first. Asalanka&#39;s steady 58 runs and Kusal Mendis&#39;s (c) spectacular 124 off 114 balls, his sixth ODI century, anchored the innings. After the previous wicket loss, the pair established a vital 124-run partnership that stabilized Sri Lanka. After their removal, Sri Lanka reached a competitive total of 285 after adding about 60 runs in the remaining 10 overs.&nbsp;

<h3>Asitha and Chameera 3-3&nbsp; wickets, Bangladesh all out in 186</h3>

Early on, Bangladesh&#39;s chase stalled, falling to 20/2 in 4 overs and 62/3 by the 14th, from which it never recovered. Mehidy and Parvez made minor contributions, but Tawhid Hridoy held up for a short while, scoring the crucial 51.

But the Sri Lankan bowlers never wavered: Dushmantha Chameera (3/51) and Asitha Fernando (3/33) took the lead, with Hasaranga and Wellalage contributing. Bangladesh was ultimately dismissed at 186 in the 40th over, considerably before the 50-over limit. 
&nbsp;

<h2>Bangladesh Again Failed To Win Maiden ODI Series In Sri Lanka</h2>

Though times of courage, like Hridoy&#39;s innings and earlier Tanvir Islam heroics, give hope, Bangladesh&#39;s wish for a first-series victory in Sri Lanka has not been done.

&nbsp;

In the 3rd match of Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka 2025, Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 99 runs. Sri Lanka won the series 2-1.

India returned to third place in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025&ndash;27 rankings with a hard <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/indias-first-win-in-birmingham-in-58-years-defeated-england-by-336-runs-in-the-second-test/2391" style="text-decoration:none">336-run victory against England in the second Test at Edgbaston on July 6</a>, 2025. With that victory, India moved up in the standings for the coveted WTC final and tied the series at one.

<h2>What Happened at Edgbaston?</h2>

Shubman Gill&#39;s brilliant 269 was the basis of India&#39;s record-breaking 587 in their opening innings. With Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep sharing all ten wickets, England was bowled out for 407 runs. England set a record chase of 608 when Gill smashed another century (161) in the second innings, but Deep bowled them out for 271 to finish the match with ten wickets.

<h2>Heroes of India&#39;s victory</h2>

<h2>Shubman Gill</h2>

This is proving to be a dream series for Indian captain Shubman Gill. Gill has scored 585 runs in two Test matches. In the second Test, all the English bowlers looked helpless in front of Gill. Gill scored 269 runs in 387 balls in the first innings. In this innings, Gill spent 8 hours, 29 minutes on the crease. In the second innings, he batted even more aggressively and scored 161 runs in 162 balls. Gill hit 43 fours and 11 sixes in the match.

<h2>Akash Deep</h2>

Akash Deep did not get a chance in the playing-11 in the first match. This time he played in the absence of Bumrah. He bowled brilliantly in both the innings. In the first innings, Akashdeep took 4 wickets for 88 runs. Whereas, in the second innings, he took 6 wickets for 99 runs. Akashdeep troubled the England batsmen throughout the match with his seam movement. With the new ball, he gave breakthroughs to the Indian team in both the innings.

<h2>Mohammad Siraj</h2>

Siraj took 6 wickets for 70 runs in England&#39;s first innings on this pitch which proved to be a paradise for the batsmen. He also took a wicket in England&#39;s second innings. The team&#39;s strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not playing in this match. In such a situation, Siraj played the role of lead bowler very well.

<h2>Captain Gill said-</h2>

The way we scattered their top order was commendable. Prasidh Krishna did not get many wickets, but he bowled tremendously. Akash consistently bowled at the right length and made the ball swing to the other side. Bumrah will return to Lord&#39;s. There can be no greater honor than captaining your country in a Test match at Lord&#39;s.

<h2>The third Test will be held at Lord&#39;s from July 10</h2>

The third Test match of the series will be played at Lord&#39;s Cricket Ground from July 10. India has played 19 Tests here so far and won 3. Lost 12 and 4 matches were drawn. The good thing for India is that the team has won two out of the last three Test matches here.
