That's it. Thank you for joining us! On behalf of my co-commentators Deepak and Gourav, and scorers Dushyant and Bishal, I, Sidharth, say goodbye! Cheers!
Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka Skipper): "I want to congratulate Wanindu (Hasaranga). He was exceptional. We did well to restrict them (Bangladesh) to around 280. Full credit to Pathum (Nissanka) and Charith (Asalanka) for their batting displays. I'm confident of a good show in the series-decider."
Pathum Nissanka (Player of the Match): "After the three wickets fell, Charith and I decided to bat normally and looking at the score on the board and build a partnership. Initially, our priority was to settle down. Once we felt comfortable, we decided that one of us should take on the bowling."

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Skipper): "Towhid (Hridoy) batted well and so did Soumya (Sarkar). Soumya should have batted longer. We need big scores from the batters. We would be eyeing improvements in the decider."
