Soumya Sarkar produces the breakthrough for the hosts
This is showtime for the Tigers. After being trumped in the tri-nation series as well as the Test series by the Lankans, the Bangladesh team are looking for some redemption at this point of time.
In the first T20I, they had a chance, but they lost it when Sri Lanka won quite comfortably against them. Despite scoring near 200 runs in the first game, Bangladesh couldn't defend it and lost the first game.
And now, with this being the last encounter of Sri Lanka's tour of Bangladesh, the Tigers have a golden opportunity to give their fans something to cheer about.
Bangladesh have now won the toss and have elected to bowl first. Sri Lanka openers started punishing the bowlers from the very beginning. Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka have smashed a total of 7 boundaries and 4 over-boundaries.
Sri Lanka have got the kind of start they wanted. Both of the batsmen have maintained the momentum so far. Kusal has picked up his second successive half-century in this series and have made 50 off 29 deliveries. Gunathilaka is provided the proper support to his partner with 42 off 37 before Soumya Sarkar dismissed him.
Abu Jayed and Mahedi Hasan both has not have a good debut game so far.
Score: 98/1 (after 11 Overs)
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah(c), Mohammad Saifuddin, Mahedi Hasan, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Abu Jayed
