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

Debutant Zakir Hasan 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.

Soumya Sarkar has picked up his half-century from just 30 deliveries. He has smashed 6 boundaries and 2 over-boundaries to reach the landmark. On the other hand, Mushfiqur Rahim has made 23 runs off 18 deliveries.

Score:
Bangladesh - 96/1 after 9.2 overs.
