Sakib 以 K Asalanka
Six runs. SIX! Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Charith Asalanka. Off cutter length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Charith Asalanka seals the win with a 6 as Sri Lanka take the lead in the three-match series. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis provided a blazing start to the chase, adding 78 inside five overs, leaving Bangladesh on the back foot from the outset. The visitors never quite recovered, as Mendis played the anchor role in the rest of the innings to ensure there was no way back for the Bangladesh bowlers, and victory was secured with an over to spare. Bangladesh will need to regroup, reflect, if they are to keep the series alive. Kusal Mendis is the Player of the Match for his fantastic batting performance.
