N Thushara to Rishad Hossain, out Shamim Hossain Run Out!! Back-to-back run-outs by Kusal Mendis.

N Thushara to Shamim Hossain, out Jaker Ali Run Out!! A yorker length delivery on leg, Shamim Hossain looks to squeeze this out, but misses. They try to steal a bye, however, Kusal Mendis does well to score a direct-hit with Jaker Ali well short of his crease. Shamim Hossain is well set out in the middle, he should have kept the strike. Jaker Ali run out (Kusal Mendis) 3(2)

N Thushara to Shamim Hossain, SIX, Shamim Hossain moves closer to his fifty. Short ball on leg, Shamim Hossain swipes it towards fine leg and just manages to clear the fielder stationed at the edge of the boundary. Pumps his bat as he's delighted

Theekshana to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, moves into the 40s! Such a fine knock this has been by Shamim Hossain. This was a short ball by the spinner, a half-tracker and the batsman pulls it towards deep mid-wicket, finds the gap and it's four more
18.1
W
Theekshana to Litton Das, out Caught by N Thushara!! Litton Das departs after playing a fine knock. Has played a captain's knock. This was a carrom delivery around off, Litton Das swings across the line and the leading edge flies straight to short third man. Theekshana gets the big fish as Bangladesh lose their fifth wicket. Walks back to a standing ovation from his team-mates does the Bangladesh skipper. Litton Das c N Thushara b Theekshana 76(50) [4s-1 6s-5]

Binura Fernando to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, nicely shot! Binura Fernando goes short and the batsman has reverse ramped it past the keeper. Mendis tried to grab it by reaching to his left, however, this was placed well past him

N Thushara to Shamim Hossain, SIX, exquisite shot! Regal. Thushara goes full on off and the batsman stands tall and smokes it over long-off for a well timed lofted six. Posed for the cameras too

N Thushara to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, drilled through covers! Full and wide outside off, Shamim Hossain goes down on his knee and slams this through covers as the ball races away to the fence at the rate of knots

Vandersay to Litton Das, SIX, front leg out of the way for a big hit over mid-wicket to round off the over. Frustrating for Vandersay, should have had a wicket but has nothing against him for 40 runs. Was a slot ball though this one and duly punished by the set Litton
14.4
F
Theekshana to Litton Das, SIX, in the airrr and he clears long-off. FInally a fifty for Litton Das after 13 innings in this format. This is his 12th T20I fifty as well. That will ease some pressure off him. Played a responsible, captain's knock. Full delivery, Litton lofted through the line and got a maximum
13.4
Vandersay to Shamim Hossain, 2 runs, now the slog-sweep. Oh sliding save almost fumbled to the fence at deep backward square leg. Fullish and on the leg stump, Shamim sends it over the infield
13.1

Vandersay to Litton Das, FOUR, lovely back foot lofted drive! Short and turning away, actually not all that short but Litton played that on the rise and cleared the leaping cover fielder to get four more

Karunaratne to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, width, cut, man in the deep dives in vain. Short and wide, Shamim cuts well, delayed the shot as the bowler took pace off but timed it well
12.2

Karunaratne to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, wow, that is a top shot. Probably the shot of the game so far. He almost played that with a straight bat and so late to get the placement and timing right. Short of a length delivery angling away, Shamim plays a fierce backfoot cut-drive past backward point and it rocketed to the fence
11.4
W
Binura Fernando to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, out Caught by N Thushara!! And he has a third now. All he's doing is just bowl cutters into the wicket. This was short and at the body, slower ball of course, Mehidy thought he could move across and scoop, only scooped it straight to short fine leg for some catching practice. Mehidy Hasan Miraz c N Thushara b Binura Fernando 1(2)
11.1
W
Binura Fernando to Towhid Hridoy, out Caught by Kusal Perera!! His second wicket is caught at short third man too and it's again Kusal Perera the man diving, this time forward and low to pouch it neatly. Short slower delivery angling away, Towhid looks to slash hard, gets a thick outside edge and taken at the edge of the circle. Important stand broken. Towhid Hridoy c Kusal Perera b Binura Fernando 31(25) [4s-2 6s-1]

Vandersay to Towhid Hridoy, FOUR, the slog-sweep! Full delivery on the stumps, Towhid gets down on one knee and sends it between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg

Shanaka to Towhid Hridoy, 1 run, full delivery on the leg stump, Towhid flicks behind square and the fifty stand is up
8.2
6
Shanaka to Litton Das, SIX, short! Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Litton moves across, knows fine leg is up, so just helps it away on its way over fine leg for six more. Clearly they are targetting Shanaka

Shanaka to Towhid Hridoy, SIX, shot! Steps out, gets to the pitch of this slot ball and lofts through the line over wide mid-on for the first maximum of the day. Oh that ball almost hit a photographer and his camera. He moved away last moment and is thankful there was no damage

Binura Fernando to Tanzid Hasan, out Caught by Kusal Perera!! Edgeddd and taken! Was coming. The away swing was troubling Tanzid. He tried playing shots but either mistimed them or missed. Binura Fernando got a lovely away shape on this full delivery, Tanzid went for a big drive and got a thick edge. Kusal Perera had to time his stretch-dive to the right to perfection to collect this at short third man. Man at slip was pushed to short third a couple of balls ago and it's gone to him now. Bangladesh in some early trouble here. Tanzid Hasan c Kusal Perera b Binura Fernando 5(8)

N Thushara to Parvez Hossain Emon, out Bowled!! Timbahh! Was looking for the big full inswinger. Wasn't getting it exactly right. To be honest not quite the yorker but a good full inswinger anyway. Emon went through with the expansive drive early, lost one hand on the handle and missed the ball completely to have the leg stump rattled. Thushara gives the early breakthrough for Sri Lanka. Parvez Hossain Emon b N Thushara 0(3)
