Sri Lanka coach Chandika Hathurusingha cut a relaxed figure as the team trained at the R Premadasa Stadium premises yesterday

Sri Lanka coach Chandika Hathurusingha cut a relaxed figure as the team trained at the R Premadasa Stadium premises yesterday

Skipper Mahmudullah got Mendis out with his off-spin as he struck twice in his very first over to try and check Sri Lanka's surge.

Sri Lanka: Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal (capt, wk), Upul Tharanga, Dasun Shanaka, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep.

Sent into bat, Sri Lanka notched 214 for six in the allotted 20 overs and then saw Bangladesh chase down the target of 215 with five wickets to spare.

After beating a second string Indian side, Sri Lanka's worry would be their Captain Dinesh Chandimal's form. So we will look to knock them over.

The Emerging Asian team - Bangladesh after the loss would be low on confidence and they need their openers to start firing before it's too late. The management have done a wonderful job at training sessions. "This result shows how good we are as a team", Chandimal said.

The Tigers won the rain-delayed toss and elected to bowl first in their second T20 match in the series.

The tourists are playing the series without their regular skipper Shakib Al-Hasan, who has been ruled out due to injury.

"It was a really good wicket but as a bowling unit we did not execute well".

We need to rotate the strike more often.

The tournament, timed to commemorate the host island's 70 years of independence, stays alive with all three teams having won a game each. "I am sure they will come back in the next game". It is also a must-win game for Bangladesh as another loss will make it very hard for them to make the final on 18 March.

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah (capt), Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Islam. The match will start at 7 PM IST on 10th March 2018.
