Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh ಸ್ಕೋರ್, 1st Twenty20 of Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2018

Rubel Hossain to Dasun Shanaka. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to point for 1 run, shy attempt by Haque.

Sri Lanka have blitzed their way to victory by six wickets in the First T20I in Mirpur, continuing their fine tour of Bangladesh. At the halfway point the hosts will have been pleased with their ominous total of 193/5, after swashbuckling half centuries from Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim. It meant that the tourists had to make their highest successful chase in this format, and they did so with aplomb. Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka set the tone, racing to fifty inside the first five overs, before Dasun Shanaka and Thisara Perera finished it off with some brutal hitting. In the end they cantered to the target with more than three overs left in the bank, a remarkable effort under lights. A day to forget for the bowlers, but we've seen some incredible ball striking from both sides today. Let's hope for more entertainment on Sunday, when this tour finishes in Sylhet.
