11.2 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Taskin strikes and Bangladesh have the first breakthrough! A questionable shot selection from Gunathilaka and he will be fuming to not capitalize on the start he got. Gunathilaka was looking very good out in the middle but his innings has been cut short. Back of a length delivery just outside off. Gunathilaka goes for the big pull across the line. The ball is not short or wide enough to go for the shot. The ball takes the inside edge and goes onto hit middle and off. Taskin is elated and why wouldn't he be? He has had a tough start but he is coming back in this game. 82/1

| Kusal Perera C | 120 | 122 | 11 | 1 | 98.36 |
|
39.2 OUT! TAKEN! A fine innings by the Sri Lankan skipper comes to an end here. He looked to go big, but did not time it well and holed out to long off this time. This is a length ball, outside off, Kusal Perera goes through with the big shot towards the long off region. Gets height but does not get the distance on this. Mahmudullah keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a very good catch. Perera goes back for 120 and this has been a captain's knock from him. 216/4

| Pathum Nissanka | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
12 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Nissanka departs without troubling the scorers and Taksin gets his second in the over. Fantastic comeback from Taskin and Bangladesh. Sri Lanka were looking so good but this over has changed that. Taskin comes wide of the crease and bowls it outside off. The ball comes back in with the angle. Nissanka plays away from him with very little movement. There is some extra bounce on this delivery too. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to the right of Mushfiqur Rahim. He makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. 82/2

| Kusal Mendis | 22 | 36 | 0 | 1 | 61.11 |
|
25.2 OUT! TAKEN! Taskin strikes again and Kusal Mendis has thrown his wicket away. Sri Lanka would have wanted him to continue but this stand, which was looking good, has been broken apart. This is bowled shortish and wide outside off, Kusal Mendis sees an opportunity to score some runs and swings his blade wildly at this and the ball takes the top edge and goes high up in the air towards mid off, where Tamim Iqbal has the easiest of takes. Ahmed gets his third and Bangladesh will look to build on this. 151/3

42.3 OUT! RUN OUT! The batters look for a quick single and they end up losing another wicket for Sri Lanka! Dickwella was caught well short and Bangladesh will be very happy with this wicket. Dragged short and on middle and off, Dhananjaya de Silva comes down the deck and taps this one towards mid on, and the batters scamper through for the single. The fielder there, Shoriful Islam picks up the ball and aims at the keeper's end. He hits and the third umpire is called. One replay is enough to see that Niroshan Dickwella is well short. 231/5

| Wanindu Hasaranga | 18 | 21 | 1 | 0 | 85.71 |
|
48.2 OUT! TAKEN! Hasaranga wanted to go big, but he has to go home here. Can't blame him for trying a big shot as they are in the penultimate over. A good length ball on off, Wanindu Hasaranga smacks this one down the ground. It has height. Looks like he has the distance too, but Mehidy Hasan runs to his left, from long on and pouches the skier. 266/6

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chameera strikes again and Sri Lanka snare another wicket. The Bangladeshi skipper, who has played well in this series, has been sent packing and Chameera is all over the batters here, as he gets his third wicket of the game. A slower and fuller ball outside off, Iqbal looks to push the ball to the off side, but only manages a thin outside edge, which is gobbled up nicely by Dickwella. An appeal and up goes the finger of the umpire. Iqbal does not hesitate in taking the review on this occasion. Ultra Edge rolls in and there is a thin spike as the ball goes past the bat and hence, the on-field decision stays on. The hosts in some trouble now. 259 needed from 243 balls. 28/3

| Mohammad Naim | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
1.1 OUT! TAKEN! Chameera strikes on his first ball and the opening stand of Bangladesh has been torn apart very early on, in the run chase. Naim, who is playing in only his second ODI, makes no impact with the blade for the Tigers. A length ball, outside off, angling away from the left-hander here. Naim looks to go fishing and swings his blade, away from his body here, but only manages a thick outside edge this time. Kusal Mendis takes the catch at first slip. 2/1

| Shakib Al Hasan | 4 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 57.14 |
|
3.2 OUT! TAKEN! Another one falls and Shakib's poor form with the bat, in this series continues here. A very good catch by the man and Bangladesh have not even crossed the double-digit mark, in terms of runs, and have already lost their second. Shortish and around off, slightly on the quicker side too, Shakib Al Hasan looks to pull but does not do so cleanly. Ramesh Mendis at square leg, backtracks slightly, and lunges to snare the ball out of thin air. A wonderful take and Chameera is on fire again. 278 needed in 282 balls. 9/2

| Mushfiqur Rahim Wk | 28 | 54 | 0 | 0 | 51.85 |
|
23.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The big, big wicket of Rahim has been snared and Ramesh Mendis is the wicket-taker this time. What a moment in this game. A sudden rush of blood for Rahim, as he skipped out of the crease, trying to play the big stroke, but he perishes. This is tossed up, around off, Mushfiqur Rahim looks to slam this one over long on and release some pressure but he only manages to get the height on this, no distance. Dhananjaya de Silva runs to his right and takes a brilliant catch. The man who has been in form throughout this series is not able to continue in the last game. 203 needed in 160 balls. 84/4

| Mosaddek Hossain | 51 | 72 | 3 | 1 | 70.83 |
|
31.4 OUT! CAUGHT! An easy catch and Bangladesh slip further in the game. Looks to be adventurous, but does not pull it off and gives his wicket away. Flighted on middle, Mosaddek Hossain gets low and looks to reverse sweep this one but only manages a top edge. The ball goes high in the air towards short third man and Binura Fernando runs and takes a good catch. 162 needed from 110 balls. 125/5

42.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! There it is! Game, Set, and Match! Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh and record their first points in the CWC League! A fuller ball on off and middle, Mahmudullah gets low and looks to play the scoop over the keeper, but does not connect well with his shot and only manages a tickle. Niroshan Dickwella hops and takes the catch. SRI LANKA WIN BY 97 RUNS! 189/10

| Afif Hossain | 16 | 17 | 0 | 0 | 94.11 |
|
37.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Afif departs and Hasaranga gets his first wicket of the game. Flighted delivery on off, Afif had to go for it as the required run rate has been creeping up. Afif goes for a big slog sweep across the line. He does not time it as it goes off the upper half of his bat. It goes towards short fine leg. Dushmantha Chameera is having a field day, be it with the ball or on the field. He takes a simple catch. 129 needed in 76 balls and this looks too big an ask. 158/6

| Mehidy Hasan Miraz | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |

38.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Chameera's wonderful evening continues. The extra pace of Chameera does the trick yet again. Dushmantha Chameera hits the deck hard. The ball hurries onto Mehidy Hasan. He looks to pull but does not time it at all. He ends up miscuing it to short mid-wicket where Gunathilaka takes a simple catch. 125 needed off 68. That looks farfetched. Sri Lanka need 3 wickets to finish the series on a high. 162/7

39 OUT! BOWLED! Chameera gets his 5-fer! What a wonderful performance this has been by the pacer. He has been bowling with pace, aggression, and more importantly, he has been hitting the right line and length. A spicy yorker right in the blockhole. It would trouble any top order batter and it is too good for a number 9 batter. Taskin cannot get his bat down in time and the ball hits middle and off stump. 162/8

| Shoriful Islam | 8 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 160 |

42 OUT! CAUGHT! Islam departs and Hasaranga picks up his second wicket. The 9th wicket falls and the curtains are closing on this game. This is a googly around off, Shoriful Islam skips down the track and looks to bang this only manages a thin tickle. Niroshan Dickwella does well to pouch this one. Sri Lanka would want to close the game out now. 181/9
