Bangladesh will be hoping to improve their woeful away record with a win against an under-strength Sri Lankan side when a two-Test series against the hosts gets underway in Galle on Tuesday.March 07,2017

Bangladesh,the Test minnows have won just three of their 45 away matches -- two against the West Indies in 2009 and one against Zimbabwe in 2013 -- but have shown considerable improvement since their last victory abroad.

At home, Bangladesh have won four Tests since 2014, drawn five and conceded only three. They showed impressive recent form against India and New Zealand in away matches despite losing both.

Sri Lanka have a good record at home and beat Australia 3-0 in the last series they hosted in August 2016

Sri Lanka have won their last five Tests on home soil and will be captained by experienced left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, who replaces injured regular Angelo Mathews.
