The upcoming three-match ODI series will be part of the World Cup Super League. Speaking to reporters in Chattogram on Wednesday, Akram Khan said:

BCB’s operation chairman also gave an update on Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe which is scheduled in June and July. The tour will comprise two Tests, three ODI, and three T20Is.

Bangladesh were scheduled to play a three-match Test series against Sri Lanka in July 2020, but it was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. That tour was rescheduled to take place from October in 2020.

But the Bangladesh Cricket Board were unwilling to comply with Sri Lanka cricket’s 14-day quarantine requirement. Now, as it stands, the Test series along with the ODI series are likely to happen in the coming months.

Bangladesh’s ODI record against Sri Lanka

As mentioned, the three-match ODI series will be part of the World Cup Super League. The series between England and Ireland played last year in July were the first matches of the League.

Sri Lanka have an overwhelmingly superior record against Bangladesh in ODIs. The two teams have squared up 48 times, with Sri Lanka winning 39 times, and Bangladesh 7. The other two ended in no result.
