Thanks for tuning in, do join us again for the 3rd ODI, until then, from Shashank, Ranjith, this is Binoy signing off.

Tanvir Islam is the player of the match for his 5 for 39, best ever bowling spell by a Bangladesh bowler against Sri Lanka.

Tanvir Islam: Talking about his spell, bowled in the right areas, bowled with variation.

Asalanka: First half, the bowlers did a great job. Apart from Kusal and Janith, the other batters needed to take responsibility. There is pressure going into the 3rd ODI, we will gather together and have a chat.

Mehidy Miraz: 248 was difficult to chase and we were hopeful we could defend the score. Think positive and told Tanvir to take wickets to win this. It was tough after the loss in the first ODI and coming back strongly.to win this.

Bangladesh level the series and win by 16 runs. Tanvir Islam the pick of the bowlers with 5 wickets, along with Shamim and Miraz. The spinners put a break in the scoring, once Kusal Mendis was dismissed, Sri Lanka batters were in too much pressure after that. In the end Liyanage did his best, until he was deceived by a slower delivery by the Fizz.
