That's a handy total indeed, especially if the pitch later on turns out to be slow and low. Join us soon for the chase to find out if Bangladesh can complete a clean sweep or if Sri Lanka can finally get Super League points.

Khandaker Talha: "It's weird that the best bowler of the day (Taskin) didn't bowl full quota. Is it because of miscalculation ?" --- Could be. Also, Mossadek's three overs meant someone had to sacrifice.

Nazmul: "Though Srilanka was looking good to reach 300 runs mark, 286 is still very very competitive total on this track as it is getting slow. Last over of Srilanka inings can make a difference here."

This is also the highest total batting first in this series after Bangladesh posted 257 and 246, both of which were defended by them. However, they will fancy their chances against three debutant bowlers in the opposition XI, with Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah in good touch already.

Sampath from the stats team points this out: Most overs bowled by Bangladesh spinners in an ODI without taking a wicket: 30.0 vs West Indies, Dhaka, 2011 23.0 vs Zimbabwe, Dhaka, 2001 23.0 vs Sri Lanka, Dhaka, Today 22.4 vs West Indies, Jaipur, 2006

That's it. Sri Lanka post 286, though they seemed well on course for 325 at one stage. Perera's dismissal slowed them down, as Bangladesh bowlers utilised slower balls well to keep the visitors in check. Taskin Ahmed grabbed four wickets - including the first three - as the Bangladesh spinners went wicketless.
