In a thrilling conclusion to the ODI series, Bangladesh secured a four-wicket win over Sri Lanka, thanks to superb batting performances by Tanzid Hasan and Rishad Hossain. The hosts clinched the series 2-1 after a hard-fought battle that saw injuries to several players on both sides.
Tanzid Hasan, approved as Soumya Sarkar's concussions substitute, played a stellar knock, scoring a career-best 84 runs. His innings laid the foundation for Bangladesh's chase. However, it was Rishad Hossain who stole the show with his blistering unbeaten 48 off just 18 balls. Rishad's innings was marked by four sixes and five fours, including a devastating assault on Sri Lanka's bowlers in the final overs.
Sri Lanka, batting first, owed their total of 235 to Janith Liyanage's magnificent maiden ODI century. Liyanage remained unbeaten on 101 off 102 balls, guiding Sri Lanka past the 200-run mark. However, as the innings came to a close, Bangladesh's bowlers, led by Kumara's four-wicket haul, managed to keep the Sri Lankan batsmen in check.
The match, however, was marred by a series of injuries. Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, and substitute fielder Jaker Ali all suffered injuries during the game, adding to the drama on the field.
In the chase, Bangladesh openers Anamul and Tanzid provided a solid start, adding fifty runs for the opening stand. Tanzid's elegant innings included nine fours and a six, as he took the attack to the Sri Lankan bowlers. Kumara's four-wicket burst, however, added tension to the chase, but Rishad Hossain's heroics in the end ensured Bangladesh reached the target with four wickets in hand.
The victory was a testament to Bangladesh's resilience and determination, overcoming injuries and a spirited Sri Lankan bowling attack. With this win, Bangladesh claimed the ODI series 2-1, capping off a thrilling contest between the two sides.
