Bangladesh have a golden chance to script history in Pallekele as they eye their first-ever ODI series win in Sri Lanka. After a spirited comeback in the second match, where Tanvir Islam’s five-for and Shamim Hossain’s all-round show helped level the series 1-1, the visitors enter the decider.
Sri Lanka, who had dominated the opening ODI, will lament the missed chance to close out the series at home. Their top order has fired in patches, with Kusal Mendis blazing away in both games, but a lack of partnerships and finishing power has hurt them. Rain could play spoilsport again, as it has in recent matches at Pallekele.
