After winning the toss and batting first, Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haq Bijoy came down to bat. The Sri Lankan bowlers seemed charged up as they kept it tight against the Tigers. Anamul Haque Bijoy fell prey to Lakmal as he tried to drive a bowl to the covers, but inside edged it to the stumps instead. 

Shakib came next and and hit two boundaries before getting run-out. Tamim fell next after a brilliant short-ball from Suranga Lakmal. Mahmudullah was out next as he tried to hit the ball to the boundary, but instead sent the ball straight down the throat of the fielder. 

Sabbir Rahman and Mushfiqur Rahium started to stabilize the ship of Bangladesh, but Sabbir played a reckless shot towards long on and threw his wicket away. Abul Hasan and Mushfiqur are on the crease now.

Bangladesh 59/5 after 17 overs.
