The 2017–18 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series was a cricket tournament that took place in January 2018.[1] It was a tri-nation series between Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe,[2][3] with all the matches played as One Day Internationals (ODIs).[4] The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium hosted all the matches.[5] The second ODI was the 100th to be played at the venue[6] and in the third match, Bangladesh recorded their biggest win in ODIs, beating Sri Lanka by 163 runs.[7]

The final was played between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.[8] Sri Lanka won the match by 79 runs, with Sri Lankan bowler Shehan Madushanka taking a hat-trick on debut.[9] Following the tri-series, Sri Lanka played two Test matches and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against Bangladesh.[10][11]

Sadeera Samarawickrama was added to Sri Lanka's squad as cover for Mathews.[15] After the third ODI, Imrul Kayes was dropped from Bangladesh's squad. However, before the final match, he was added back to squad.[16][17] Kusal Perera suffered an injury during the fourth ODI and was ruled out of the rest of the series. Dhananjaya de Silva replaced him in Sri Lanka's squad.[18]
