Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat first as they look to stay alive in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.
However, the visitors left out Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed to bring in Shamim Hossain and Hasan Mahmud in hopes of bringing their derailed tour back on track in Colombo on Saturday.
Sri Lanka also made two changes, including Dunith Wellalage and Dushmantha Chameera in for Milan Rathnayake and Eshan Malinga.
In a dramatic collapse in the first game, Bangladesh lost 7 wickets for only 5 runs in their 245-run chase and ended up losing the first game on Wednesday to trail the three-match series 0-1.
