The T20I match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh has begun with the latter winning the toss and deciding to bat first. It appeared to be a great decision as Soumya Sarkar raised hell against the Lankan bowlers.

Batting alongside Mushfiq, Soumya has raced to 45 from 12 balls. Debutant Zakir Hasan, however, scored 10 from 9 balls and showed great mentality to score those runs. He was scalped by Gunathilka as he tried to smash one too many.

Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim are looking good with the bat. They are rotating the strike, smashing the deliveries that need to be punished. Soumya is on fire! He seems to be determined to post a daunting total against the visitors as they are scoring almost double the number of deliveries.

Score:
Bangladesh - 93/1 after 9 overs.
