So, that's it from the comm box. It was a pleasure bringing you the live coverage of this game. We'll be back again on Friday, for the coverage of the third and the final ODI match between the two teams. Till then, bbye from me, Anurag Dasgupta, alongside my co-commentators, Anurag Singh and Arjun Bhalla.
Mushfiqur Rahim on that knock and the win- Contributing from the front was great, but I was disappointed not playing the last 11 balls. Mahmudullah batted well and a couple of guys chipped in, and the bowling effort was special tonight. There are areas we can improve. We need to be fearless, but there's a fine line between fearless and sense.
Man of the match- Mushfiqur Rahim for his stunning knock of 125 off 127 deliveries.
Kusal Perera | Sri Lanka captain: It's very disappointing. Both matches, the middle-order collapsed and lack of experienced cost us. We need to have a serious talk. They have to back and believe in their strength and play fearless cricket.
Anurag: Earlier in the day, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. In-form batsman, Tamim Iqbal departed early and was soon followed by Shakib Al Hasan, who went back to the pavilion without troubling the scoreboard. At one stage, Bangladesh were tottering at 74 for 4, when the pair of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah joined hands and resurrected the Bangladesh innings. Mahmudullah departed for a well compiled 41, but the master of manipulating the field, Mushfiqur Rahim maneuvered the field beautifully to bring up his century which helped his side go past the 240-run mark. The target was eventually too big for Sri Lanka as they crumbled under pressure.
Anurag: Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan were the pick of the bowlers, picking up 3 wickets each to jolt the Sri Lankan run-chase.
Anurag: Chasing a stiff target of 247, Sri Lanka lost their skipper, Kusal Perera early for just 15. Gunathilaka steadied the ship alongside Pathum Nissanka, but just when a solid foundation was laid, both the batsmen departed in quick succession to put Sri Lanka in a spot of bother. Everyone in that middle order got a decent start, but failed to capitalise on it as wickets tumbled at regular intervals and Sri Lanka could only manage to score 141 for the loss of 9 wickets.
Anurag: That’s it, the game has ended and Bangladesh have won the match and the series comfortably. An emphatic performance from the Tigers who have defeated the Lankan Lions by 103 runs D/L method) in the second ODI to take a 2-0 lead in the 3-match series.
39.6 S Islam to I Udana
1 Drills the fuller length ball down to long off for a single. With that, Bangladesh have won this game and the series convincingly.
