In the second match of the T20 series against Sri Lanka, a loss ended the dream of winning the series. Because the Tigers lost by 3 runs in the first.

Bangladesh entered the field in the second T20 with such an equation in mind. Kushal Mendis and Kamindu Mendis batted well to handle the shock of the first wicket in the Powerplay.

Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Tiger skipper’s aim is clear, to extract as much advantage as possible from the wicket. In the first over of the innings, Shariful proved the correctness of the Tiger captain’s decision by getting a great swing. Sri Lankan opener Avishka Fernando could not get any runs from the first over.

Taskin gave Bangladesh the first break-through in the second over. However, the right-handed pacer was quite scratchy in his second over. Coming in at number three, Kamindu Mendis scored 17 runs from Taskin’s fourth over of the innings. Sheikh Mahedi Hasan was also unable to bring wickets to Bangladesh with the new ball. Mustafizur Rahman was also in Khruche. As of writing this report, Sri Lanka have accumulated 49 runs after losing 1 wicket after 6 overs.
