| Danushka Gunathilaka | 42 | 37 | 3 | 2 | 113.51 |
|
11 OUT! Caught! No 100-run stand. The pressure was building and something was going to give. Sarkar bowls this slightly wider than the previous one and Gunathilaka looks to go over the top. Hits it well but finds Tamim Iqbal at the wide long off boundary. A timely wicket for the hosts. 98/1

| Kusal Mendis | 70 | 42 | 6 | 3 | 166.66 |
|
16.3 OUT! Mendis departs now! Two big wicket for Bangladesh in the space of 7 balls. Both set batsmen gone. A short ball outside off, Mendis looks to pull but the ball gets big on him. He skies it high in the air and only finds Mahedi Hasan at wide long on. Departs for 70 from 42 balls, a fine knock but should he have stayed till the end? 160/3

| Thisara Perera | 31 | 17 | 3 | 1 | 182.35 |
|
15.3 OUT! Caught! Massive, massive wicket. That could change the momentum again. A full ball outside off, Perera, who was looking to hit every ball out of the park, went after this one too. But the ball hit the toe end of his bat and scooped to long off. Simple catch to Soumya Sarkar. Bangladesh can now dream of restricting the Lankans under 200. Terrific cameo from Thisara - 31 from 17 balls, 3 fours and 1 maximum. 149/2

| Upul Tharanga | 25 | 13 | 4 | 1 | 192.30 |
|
19.4 OUT! Tharanga departs. A full ball outside off, Tharanga looks to go big but finds Soumya Sarkar at long off. Not a bad knock at all - 25 from 13 balls. 205/4

7.4 OUT! This time the edge finds the fielder. Tamim is gone and with that, perhaps the series as well. Similar ball to the previous one, once again the batsman is down the track to swing. Is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and only gets a top edge. It flies to sweeper cover and Akila Dananjaya makes no mistake while running in. A laboured 29 from 23 for the Prince of Chittagong. 59/4

| Soumya Sarkar | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
1.4 OUT! Sarkar falls. Excellent bowling from Dananjaya. He senses that the batsman is itching to come down the track and bowls it wide outside off. The southpaw has to reach out for it and ends up skewing it in the air. It is not far enough and Jeevan Mendis does not have to run much backwards to take the catch. A 4-baller for Soumya. 8/1

| Mushfiqur Rahim Wk | 6 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 200 |
|
2.3 OUT! Uh-oh... not a great shot this time. A short ball outside off again but not that wide. Rahim looks to pull but is done in by the bounce. Toe-ends his shot to mid on where Thisara Perera takes the catch. 14/2
|

| Mohammad Mithun | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 166.66 |
|
3 OUT! Third one down. Forget the dew. Bangladesh are crumbling like a pack of cards. Full on middle, perhaps a tad slower, Mithun is early into his flick and gets a leading edge. Simple catch for Jeevan Mendis. Thank you for coming. Some over from Madushanka - a six, a four, 3 wides, a dot, a single and 2 wickets. 22/3
|

| Mahmudullah C | 41 | 31 | 4 | 1 | 132.25 |
|
14.2 DROPPED, BUT STILL A WICKET! How? Please read. A full ball outside off, slower in pace, Saifuddin swings hard and hits it straight back. Udana leaps but cannot take the catch with his left hand. The ball is towards mid on but where is Mahmudullah going? He thinks there is a single and starts to run blindly. Saifuddin takes a start but then sees Jeevan Mendis getting to the ball. Now, he stops. Too late. Mahmudullah is halfway down the track and Mendis reaches the ball in a flash, dives and returns the throw to the bowler. Easy run out. Some fight shown by the skipper. Sad end. 110/6

| Ariful Haque | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |

8.4 OUT! Got him! Even Mendis has a wicket. Not exactly the googly, but not the leg spinner either. It is the straighter one and the batsman does not pick it. He comes half forward to defend and is hit on the pads. Plumb LBW and up goes the umpire's finger on the appeal. 68/5
|
|||||
| Mohammad Saifuddin | 20 | 21 | 1 | 1 | 95.23 |
|
14.5 OUT! Second wicket of the over. A short ball, on middle and off Saifuddin swivels and pulls, but it is straight to the fielder. Substitute Jeffrey Vandersay does not make any mistake. So double whammy for Saifuddin - first he runs his captain out, then gets out himself quickly. All the best in the dressing room. 113/7

| Mahedi Hasan | 11 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
17.5 OUT! The 8th wicket goes down. A short ball outside off, Mahedi rises on his toes and plays a nice-looking shot over cover. However, it is straight to the only man in the deep on the off side - the sweeper. Simple catch for Isuru Udana. 132/8
|

| Mustafizur Rahman | 8 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 88.88 |
|
18.1 OUT! Gone right through. A nothing ball, a nothing shot. Landed outside off, coming in with the angle, Mustafizur just swings wildly. Misses and the ball hits the timber. 132/9

| Abu Jayed | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
18.4 OUT! Stumped! A 75-RUN WIN FOR THE LANKANS. A 2-0 series win. Similar to the previous ball, once again Gunathilaka fires it wide outside off. This time, Jayed cannot reach the ball as opposed to the previous one, he looks to go leg side and misses. Easy stumping for Chandimal behind. 135/10
