Sri Lanka have made a miserable start to the tri-series against Zimbabwe and the home side Bangladesh. The side led by skipper Angelo Mathews lost the first ODI against Zimbabwe by 12 runs and then went on to get hammered at the hands of Bangladesh by 163 runs. Consecutive defeats have put them in danger of an early exit from the series and the upcoming 4th ODI of the tournament against Zimbabwe in Dhaka is a do-or-die encounter for the side. Questions are being raised upon the newly appointed coach Chandika Hathurusingha and whether he can provide the change the side needed after a demoralising showing in limited over matches in 2017. Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews will look to make some changes within the team and will hope his side can perform better with the bat than they have done in the series so far. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe, who won their last encounter against the same opposition will be confident enough to repeat the results once again.
