Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Match Toss Prediction

The toss will play an important role in this game at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Teams often prefer to bowl first here because dew in the second innings helps batters. Captains usually choose to chase, as it gives more control over the required run rate.

For Bangladesh, bowling first can let Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed use the new ball with swing. Sri Lanka may also want to bowl first, with Chameera and Theekshana creating early pressure. If a team bats first, they must target at least 165–170 runs to feel safe on this ground.

Weather Report

The weather in Abu Dhabi on 12 September 2025 will be hot and dry in the evening. The temperature will be around 32 °C at the start and may drop to 29 °C later in the night. Humidity will rise after sunset, which can bring dew on the pitch and outfield.

No rain is expected, so the match should run without delays. Dew will likely make batting easier in the second innings, giving an edge to the chasing team. Overall, conditions will favor teams with strong spinners who can handle the wet ball late in the game.
