    4(5)&5/39(10)
Right! Two intriguing matches in Colombo, where 240 ended up being a par score. Both sides will rue the missed chances in either of those games, so the series status reflects fairly. We now move to Pallekele for the third and final ODI, with the pitch and combinations keeping the think tank on their toes. The match is scheduled to be played on Tuesday, 8th July, 2025, with the first ball at 9 am GMT, but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early. In the meantime, you can check out how the Ashes rivals are performing in their respective Tests across two continents. Enjoy. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
The victorious skipper of Bangladesh, MEHIDY HASAN MIRAZ, confidently says that he believed that 248 was enough as everyone saw in the last match that 240 was difficult to chase. On what was going through his mind when Madushka and Kusal Mendis were batting, or even when Janith Liyanage was playing, Mehidy says he just told Tanvir (during the second wicket stand) that his side needs those two wickets as without wickets Bangladesh cannot win. Stresses that he just thinks positively and searches for wickets and moves ahead. On his young side doing well, Miraz admits that it has been tough but still his unit is trying. Is happy that his players came back strongly and hopes to have a great match in the final ODI.
The captain of Sri Lanka, CHARITH ASALANKA, on being asked whether the toss mattered, does not feel that it did. Feels that in the first half, his bowlers did a great job, restricting Bangladesh under 250 after they got a great start. Bluntly says that it was the batting which let them down and all the batters barring Janith Liyanage should take responsibility. On being asked whether the wicket of Kusal Mendis was the key, Asalanka smiles and admits that both, Mendis' and Madushka 's wickets were key but after that, himself and the middle order could not capitalize. Regarding a tough wicket to bat upon, Charith denies it, saying that it was a bit different in the second innings but once his batters got a start like that, they should not be saying anything about the pitch. On the must-win third ODI, CA says that it is 1-1 now and a must-win game, so will have a chat with the group and come hard again.
BANGLADESH'S TANVIR ISLAM HAS BEEN ADJUDGED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH, for his brilliant bowling figures of 5/39. Through a translator, Tanvir conveys that he felt well on claiming his maiden 5-fer. Adds that he bowled in the right areas. Details that the wicket was much better as compared to the one in the last game. Feels that hence, bowling was challenging, but he stuck to bowling tight lines. On his belief whether 248 was defendable, Tanvir says that his captain gave him confidence and asked him to bowl with an open heart. Further says that he was asked to try to contain and that's what pumped him up.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier, in the first innings, Bangladesh huffed and puffed to 248. It was a determined batting approach, much improved from the first game, where the batters tried to have some kind of a partnership. Half centuries from Parvez Hossain Emon and Tawhrid Hridoy kept the visitors on good stead but they lost their way towards the end. From 204/5, they collapsed to 218/9 and had it not been for a crucial 10-wicket stand of 30 between Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman, the match result would have been different. Asitha Fernando bowled his heart out, picking up 4 wickets while Hasaranga continued his good form, picking up 3 wickets. Please stay tuned for the presentation ...
Full marks to Bangladesh. They were hammered with the new balls but they did not lose belief or hope. They trusted themselves and found a way to get that second wicket. And once they got that, started running through the batting lineup. Then again, towards the end, they managed to keep their calm even when Liyanage was going well. Some pressure was even being seen on the visitors, dropping as many as 3 catches but luckily for them, they did not come back to haunt the visitors. Tanvir Islam and Shamim Hossain were the chief destructors, choking the Lankans with combined figures of 19-3-61-6. Tanvir went on to pick up his maiden 5-fer as well while Mehidy chipped in with some economical bowling as well. Pace was not Bangladesh's friend in this game but when it mattered, Mustafizur bowled really well at the death.
There was a reason why both captains wanted to bat first at the toss. In the absence of dew, the ball was not quite coming onto the bat in the second innings, post the 10th over. The Lankans got off to a flier racing to 75/1 in the 10th over. However. once Nishan Madushka was dismissed, the wickets started to fall regularly and the match started to go out of the Lankans' grasp. However, Janith Liyanage held one end and kept fighting, as late as the 48th over, registering a 58-run stand for the 9th wicket with Chameera, but unfortunately for the home side, it was too much to do for one player.
Finally, the losing streak ends for Bangladesh. They have been on a 7-match losing streak in ODIs, with their previous win coming way back in November 2024, against Afghanistan in Sharjah. It is also just their 5th win in ODIs in Sri Lanka.

DROPPED! My, my, my! Simply unbelievable. Tanzim had the opportunity to finish this match. Back of the hand slower delivery, outside off, Fernando looks to heave it over the leg side but is done in by the slower ball. Gets a top edge which goes miles in the air, just beside the pitch. The bowler himself runs to his right, settles himself under the catch but spills it! A single taken. 17 more needed from 8 balls.

Mustafizur Rahman To Janith Liyanage OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The Fizz strikes eventually and dare we say, it is the biggest wicket of the match! Full, on middle, Liyanage looks to work it to the leg side but is early into the shot. Gets a leading edge which goes straight up in the air. Mustafizur stutters a bit but steadies himself and gets across, nearly in front of the non striker and takes the catch. Bangladesh are cock-a-hoop while Liyanage is distraught. Departs for 78 (85) and the whole of Colombo stands up as one to applaud him off the ground. The fighting 58-run stand has been broken and Sri Lanka are 228/9, needing another 21 from 16 balls!

Oh dear. Shamim Hossain has gone down near the cover boundary. Seems to have tweaked something while pulling off that dive. The physio and a few others from Bangladesh's backroom stiff is tending to him. The umpires ask the staff to get on with it and SHAMIM IS BEING STRETCHERED OFF THE FIELD. Have to feel for him. Excellent bowling display, got his team into a dominant position and now, will have to sit on the sidelines and watch this thriller unravel.

Gets a top edge that goes towards wide long off, where the fielder runs across to his left but the ball lands down ahead of him. He tries to bring his body to stop it but the ball goes through him and they take three runs, until the sweeper cover fielder cuts it off.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz To Wanindu Hasaranga OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, Bangladesh get a wicket and Sri Lanka are seven down now as Wanindu Hasaranga walks off. Tossed it up and around off, too full, Wanindu goes on his knees, also clears out his front leg away to get more access. But the ball is too close to his body and thus, he doesn't get the desired elevation. The ball goes high in the air and towards deep mid-wicket, where Tanzim Hasan Sakib moves to his left there and pouches it around his chest height. Bangladesh are 156/7.

Landed outside off, Wanindu Hasaranga pushes it through point for a single.
DRINKS BREAK. 16 runs in the last 2 overs. All of a sudden, the pressure is shifting back onto the bowling side. This is what good sides do. They keep soaking up the pressure and work on those small small singles. Then suddenly, when they feel that the bowling side is getting a bit too preoccupied in just stopping the singles, boom. That's exactly what Hasaranga has done. He has got the target down under 100 and with every 10 runs being shaved off, the visitors will feel the pressure as well. The fact that one wicket could actually derail this chase, could force the tourists try even more desperately to pick up a wicket and in that process, concede a few runs. Also, with Shamim and Tanvir to bowl out, whom does Mehidy turn to? He will have to go back to pace which has not been very kind to his side so far.

An arm ball, around middle and leg, WH comes forward to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. That seemed to be going down the leg side to the naked eye.

On the shorter side and around middle, not a wicket-taking delivery, but Kamindu goes back and looks to chip it into the leg side for a single with soft hands. He fails to keep it along the ground, as the ball seems to be stuck in the wicket and comes later than he would have expected to be. The ball goes flat to the mid-wicket fielder, where Mehidy Hasan Miraz leaps a bit and takes it with both hands above his head. This is a big wicket and Tanvir is pumped up. Sri Lanka are 126/5.

Shamim Hossain To Charith Asalanka OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! MAIDEN ODI WICKET FOR SHAMIM! The pressure tells and a mistake is committed! That is a team wicket. In Powerplay 2, the fielding captain is allowed to keep four fielders outside the 30-yard circle. But Mehidy chose to keep only three, making singles difficult for the batters to attain and the temptation of going over the top dangling. And the entire bowling unit has done well in cutting off both, boundaries and runs. Both, Asalanka and Kamindu tried to veer away from that temptation of going over the top, but eventually, Asalanka's patience wears off. A short ball, around middle and leg, Charith Asalanka looks to heave it over mid on but plays a bit too early. The ball hits the toe end of his bat and lobs tamely to mid on where Tanvir Islam takes it calmly. Asalanka departs for 6 (17) and from 75/1, Sri Lanka are now 99/4! Equation - 150 from 188.

Seems like this is the DRINKS BREAK. A bit of a good passage of play for the visiting side. The last 6 overs have gone for just 17 runs and yielded 2 wickets. The required rate is not a question at all, but with the runs not coming easily all of a sudden, Bangladesh are trying to entice the batters into committing mistakes. It definitely seems as if fast bowling is a lot easier to play as compared to spin bowling, so expect a lot of tweakers in this chase. What Kusal Mendis' blitzkrieg has done is - allowed the batters after him to take their time to settle in.

Tanvir Islam To Kusal Mendis OUT!
OUT! LBW! Excellent review from Bangladesh. Flatter, full and around off, Kusal Mendis comes down the track and looks to flick but as the ball stays low, he plays the wrong line and misses. Gets thud on the front pad and there is a loud appeal for LBW from the bowler, but the umpire shakes his head! Tanvir convinces his skipper with the keeper to take a review! The ball has hit the pad very low, so this could be the reason. The third umpire is called in, and there is no need for the UltraEdge, as clearly there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The on-field umpire has to change his decision, and Tanvir Islam is pumped up. Kusal Mendis walks off after a wonderful knock of 56 runs off just 31 balls. From 75/1, Sri Lanka are now 82/3, with both set batters back in the pavillion. Equation - 167 from 229.

OUT! CAUGHT! Stop the press. Bangladesh have got a wicket. Well, a critic might say, this was extremely needless by Madushka. But spare a thought for the batter as well. Amidst all the ambience created by Mendis, it is pretty difficult to stay calm. Just a reminder, that is was Madushka who had got the ball rolling in this chase. But Kusal's lightning has stolen Madushka's thunder. Tossed up, outside off, Nishan Madushka jumps down the track and looks to go inside out but is not to the pitch of the ball. Gets an outside edge which goes high in the air, towards point. Tawhid Hridoy backtracks at point and takes it easily. The 69-run stand is broken and Sri Lanka are 75/2 after 9.3 overs.

Tanvir Islam To Nishan Madushka
Nagging length and around off, Nishan Madushka punches it to cover. 17 from the over, the most expensive one of the match!
Oops...what happened there? While trying to pull the ball back, Najmul Hossain Shanto seems to have got his right leg jarred into the ground and has caused some damage to himself. The physio is out there to have a check on him. The batters call for drinks in the meantime. Good to resume.

Tanvir Islam To Kusal Mendis
Excellent effort from Najmul Hossain Shanto. Floated up and a bit outside off, Kusal Mendis uses his feet and looks to loft it inside out over covers, but gets it off the outer half of the bat, and the ball is sliced over the backward point fielder, Shanto, who tries to backtrack it. He goes after it to chase it down and puts in a dive forward to flick the ball inside the field. Gets up and throws it to the keeper to save one run for his side. Third umpire is called in to check whether it is a boundary or not. He watches the replays and confirms that he hasn't touched the boundary cushions while trying to flick the ball inside the field and calls that three runs. 50-RUN STAND IS UP!

Tanvir Islam To Kusal Mendis
SIX! Mendis is just taking a liking to the left-arm spinner! Flighted, around middle and off, hint of away turn, Kusal Mendis jumps down the track to go down the ground but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. But he still goes through with the shot and clears mid on and eventually, the ropes, with ease. Mendis moves to 32 (14). 50 UP FOR SRI LANKA and they now need 195 runs from 255 balls.

FOUR MORE! Overcompensation from Tanvir, firing this down the leg side, Mendis gets down on a knee again and sweeps it behind square leg for consecutive boundaries! The stand moves to 42 (32).

Hasan Mahmud To Nishan Madushka
Hard length and around off, Nishan Madushka taps it towards cover point and wants to have a single. Kusal Mendis responds and takes a few steps forward but is sent back by Nishan as the backward point fielder gets to the ball with a slide and cuts it off.

Hasan Mahmud To Kusal Mendis
A full toss, around off, Kusal Mendis gets a bit surprised and only manages to drill it off the inner half of the bat towards mid on. A single taken but Mendis will think that he has missed out on this opportunity.

Hasan Mahmud To Kusal Mendis
FOUR! POUNDED! Mendis has come out with a mood to take the bowling on. Similar to the previous ball and hence, the stroke is also the same. Only on this occasion, the pull shot is delayed slightly, but still, it is not met perfectly. The ball runs off the inner half of the bat but the timing is good enough to take the ball to the mid-wicket fence, between mid on and short mid-wicket. The stand moves to 33 (27).

Hasan Mahmud To Kusal Mendis
A short ball, outside off, 129 kph, Kusal Mendis tries to take it on, looking to pull it over mid-wicket but is early into the stroke. The ball comes slowly off the surface and goes off the toe end of the bat, towards mid on.

FOUR! Safe shot! Floated up and on the pads, Kusal Mendis uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball, and lofts it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Though the bat face gets turned in his hands during the connection with the ball, there is enough connection to clear the infield.

Hasan Mahmud To Kusal Mendis
FOUR OVERTHROWS! Tough luck for Bangladesh. Remember the great Kapil Dev's words around 2007, when he had opined that overthrows off deflection from the stumps should not be considered. Landed outside off, Mendis looks to punch but his bottom hand comes off the bat. The ball goes towards point. Najmul Hossain Shanto charges onto the ball from backward point, picks the ball up and has a needless shy at the bowling end. Hits the stumps directly but to his bad luck, the ball deflects towards the mid-wicket boundary. Well, the throw was needless, no argument, but shouldn't some consideration be given for direct hits, to encourage good fielding?

Hasan Mahmud To Nishan Madushka
Good running. On a length outside off, jags back in sharply, Nishan Madushka looks to push it through the off side but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. The ball rolls to the off side, beside the pitch and Mendis quickly calls him through for the single. The bowler joins the running race with Mendis and tries to cause an under-arm flick at the striker's end but misses. Would not have mattered as Kusal was easily in.

Wonderful riposte. On a length, outside off, Madushka looks to play inside the line and gets beaten, as the ball straightens and goes past the outside edge. The keeper, Jaker Ali, collects and straightaway celebrates for the catch but the bowler has heard nothing.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
OUT! LBW! Tell you what, Bangladesh will be honest enough to admit that they have got a lucky one here. On a good length, outside off, Nissanka stays back to work it to the leg side but the ball pitches and then shoots a fraction low, catching the batter in his crease. Nissanka is unable to adjust to the sharp shoot and misses his flick, getting hit on the pads. Tanzim appeals and for a while, it seems like the umpire will not give it out. But almost when the appeal is about to die down, the finger goes up! Nissanka takes the review, after a small chat with his partner and first up, UltraEdge detects no bat involved. Time for Ball Tracking. Clipping the outer half of leg stump! Umpire's call on hitting which means that the review will be retained but Nissanka has to go! Departs for 5 (8) and Sri Lanka are 6/1 after 2 overs! Need another 243 from 288 balls.
Given out LBW! To the naked eye, that seemed to be going down the leg side and probably that's why, Nissanka has reviewed this. The ball did stay low a fraction but the angle definitely seemed to be going down leg. Or maybe not! Umpire's call it is on hitting the leg stump and Nissanka has to go!

FOUR! There is the first boundary of the chase! On a length, outside off, Pathum Nissanka punches it through the gap between cover and point, rising with the bounce, finding the gap and boundary. Farveez Maharoof on air remembers that this is the same way Nissanka got off the mark and also his century in the second Test. Amazing memory.

A quick short ball, around off, Pathum Nissanka goes for the pull but is hurried into the shot. Gets hit on the back of the bat and the ball rolls down on the off side.
A fair bit of movement for Hasan Mahmud in that opening over. Will be interesting to see how does the second new ball work out. In case you have not realized, Jaker Ali is the man with the gloves for Bangladesh tonight, in the absence of Litton Das. Here's Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
