The Sri Lanka cricket team toured Bangladesh in May 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] All of the matches took place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.[3] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[4][5] Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in December 2020.[6] The Sri Lankan cricket team arrived in Bangladesh on 16 May 2021,[7] following their two-match Test series in Sri Lanka.[8]

Ahead of the tour, Kusal Perera was appointed as Sri Lanka's new ODI captain,[9] replacing Dimuth Karunaratne.[10]

Bangladesh won the first ODI by 33 runs.[11] They also won the rain-affected second ODI by 103 runs, to take an unassailable lead in the series.[12] It was Bangladesh's first bilateral series win against Sri Lanka.[13] Sri Lanka won the third match by 97 runs with Bangladesh winning the series 2–1.[14]
