    10.3 Mahedi has done it again! And it's the big scalp of Nissanka! What a return to T20Is it's been for Mahedi, dream script in Colombo for the offspinner! This was a good length around off, and Nissanka looks to drive this down the ground. But it sticks in the surface and all he can do is chip this back to Mahedi, who makes no mistake 66/5
    0.6 Finds deep square leg! Shoriful is pumped and the Khettarama is silenced! This was full on the pads, and Kusal goes for his trademark pickup over the square leg boundary, but there's a man stationed for just this shot and he barely has to move as he pouches this safely 14/1
    1.5 Edged and Bangladesh have another! Mahedi pitches this outside off from around the wicket, and it's pushed through quick and flat. Perera though is tentative on the back foot and just pushes at this away from the body. Thick edge and taken gleefully by the slip fielder 19/2
    4.3 Mahedi has another! And Sri Lanka are in a bit of a hole here. This was a good length outside off, and Chandimal looks to drag this over that mid-on midwicket region. It's a big gap there, but Bangladesh have set the trap and Chandimal takes the bait. This one is a top edge that goes straight up as Jaker at point makes no mistake 34/3
    7.4 Mahedi you beauty! He's running through this Sri Lankan batting lineup! This was borderline unplayable. Came from around the wicket, pushed this through on length, and it straightens just enough to beat Asalanka's outside edge as he looks to defend on the back foot. Doesn't miss the off stump though, which is flattened 49/4
    13.1 Taken excellently at backward point! This was full on off and Kamindu nails this reverse sweep, but the man at backward point - Tanzim is the man - nabs this brilliantly over his left shoulder with both hands. The Khettarama is silenced once more 88/6

    16.6 Chipped straight to mid-off! This was a good length on off, and Vandersay looks to take it on - virtual free hit as this was the last ball of the over and there were five fielders in the ring - but the connection is off the bottom of the bat as this loops gently to mid-off 103/7
