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. The rest of the batsmen soon followed as Bangladesh got packed for 82 runs after playing just 24 overs. 

None of the batsmen could put up a decent total as the Sri Lankan bowlers ripped through them. Mushfiqur Rahim top scored with 28 runs andSabbir Rahman was the only one who could reach double figures with his score of 10 runs.
