Transcript

00:00A very, very warm welcome. The series is beautifully poised. It's one all and all to play for both teams.

00:18Now here for the third and final game at the R. Pramadasi International Stadium.

00:23Well, two changes each in both teams. First, take a look at the Sri Lankan side.

00:26They're batting first. Interesting changes for Sri Lanka.

00:28Dinesh Chandimal coming back after a very, very long tie to T20i Cricket and also Kamidu Mendes batting at number six.

00:36And Bangladesh also has two changes.

00:37Yes, they have. And like for like, not just in name, Mehdi Hassan Mirak being replaced by Shaikh Mehdi.

00:44And Saifuddin is going out of the team at Tanzee Masam Sakip to strengthen the pace bowling attack.

00:50Those are the two changes in the Bangladesh side.

00:53Shoriful Islam with hammered four. That's the start Sri Lanka needed.

01:06Oh, brilliant work in the deep.

01:10That was Tamim. He got a hand to it, but geez, that hurts because there was enough power.

01:15A fish fielder in the deep. Takes it.

01:22Shoriful gets a wicket and it's a massive blow for Sri Lanka.

01:27Ridhoi is the catcher.

01:30Now, this is a peril.

01:32Once a left arm spinner brings the ball back to you.

01:35If you clip that one, you have to make sure it goes in front of the square.

01:39Kusal Pereira at the non-striker's end.

01:42Lanka have lost that early wicket.

01:47Oh, yes. How about that?

01:51Sri Lanka have lost a second.

01:54What an inspiring inclusion.

01:57This one.

02:00Mehdi Sheikh.

02:02Inclusion raised quite a few eyebrows.

02:05It was a short stay for Kusal Pereira.

02:09Another failure.

02:1119 for two.

02:13And it's Dinesh Chandimal who has come in.

02:16One of the changes that Sri Lanka have made.

02:18Strike rate.

02:19Well, around 103.

02:22And he's playing after more than three years.

02:24He's off the mark straight away.

02:26This could be tight.

02:29Oh, they're excited.

02:30Bangladesh.

02:32All the fielders, square of the wicket.

02:33They think they have their man.

02:35They have the best view, too.

02:37Oh, they're showing a lot of commitment.

02:39Bangladeshis.

02:41Yeah, keep rolling.

02:43Okay.

02:47Okay, come back and do.

02:48Yeah.

02:48That's when I made his ground.

02:50Before the guy who can suddenly put down.

02:52Make a decision for the giant screen.

02:55Slightly better throw.

02:56And Sri Lanka would have been three down.

02:58The dive saves Nisanka.

03:00It's 21 for two.

03:01He's hit that well.

03:07Tanzim.

03:07Saqib.

03:08Oh, he's made a meal of it.

03:11Initially, I didn't think he'll get near it.

03:13But he did.

03:14Hands in the wrong place, Shami.

03:15Well, there was an opportunity.

03:18But one has to question.

03:21Nisanka's thinking over there.

03:24The baller is looking to take the ball away from the right-hander.

03:28Towards left.

03:29What's the point in hitting the ball against that movement?

03:32Very lucky to survive.

03:34And this is a fairly simple chance.

03:39Should be taken.

03:40Yes.

03:41Chandimal goes.

03:42Mal gone to four.

03:46They've succeeded.

03:47But this is safe.

03:48Mid-on in the circle.

03:49And Patun Nisanka.

03:51Not afraid to go over the top.

03:55Oh, Boldy.

03:56That was a caulker.

03:59Turn enough for three of eight deliveries.

04:02It was a struggle.

04:03To safety.

04:07Hit.

04:09And hit it well for a boundary.

04:13That's a good hit.

04:16Indeed a good hit.

04:19Brilliant effort, but in vain.

04:23And taken.

04:26Wagon number four for the off-spinner.

04:28Six to six for five.

04:29Swept.

04:35Running hard.

04:37But the ball is going to win.

04:42Oh, what a hit.

04:43That six.

04:45Coming to Mendes.

04:46He loves that length.

04:50Gone.

04:50He gets a wicket.

04:52That was a sharp catch.

04:53And it's Sarkip who plucks it out of the air.

04:56Held on its way.

05:00That was for poor delivery.

05:04Oh, now.

05:06How about it?

05:07Down the throw.

05:08That's the one.

05:10He set him up so very nicely.

05:12Enticed him to go for a ducking shot.

05:15And it was really a simple catch taken.

05:18Another one bites the dust.

05:20He's gone for seven.

05:21Sri Lanka in trouble.

05:22Oh, now.

05:26That's what was expected.

05:28And that's what he has achieved.

05:29Short, wide.

05:30And it got punished.

05:34Oh, picked that up.

05:35And it's going many a mile.

05:38That is a super little strike.

05:41Just in the nick of time.

05:44Two shot runs.

05:45Cheeky.

05:46Another four runs.

05:47This is excellent.

05:51Oh, he swings from the head.

05:54Hello.

05:55Is it me you're looking for?

05:57Says the ball.

05:57You'll find me in the crowd.

05:59Wow.

06:00Belligerent hitting here.

06:06Gain.

06:07That's not given as a wide end.

06:10That is over.

06:11And that is the end of the innings.

06:13Hundred and thirty-two for seven is what Sri Lanka can muster.

06:18But what a big over.

06:19Twenty-two runs coming off that 20th over.

06:22I think Nisanka promised a lot.

06:24And he looked to be really in a controlling mood.

06:27In a dominant position.

06:29But he earned for 46.

06:30And then Caminda Mendes for 21.

06:32But this was Chanaka who really turned things around.

06:35And gives Sri Lanka some hope.

06:37Falling for the Bangladeshi side.

06:39The spinners did really well.

06:41Chakmai the four for eleven.

06:43As well as Richard.

06:45Three seamers.

06:46Finally, Shoriful.

06:48And Tanjim went for some runs.

06:49But overall, I thought the Bangladeshi bowling attack did quite well.

06:53That is indeed.

06:54And they'll be needing one hundred and thirty-three for a win here in the twenty overs.

07:02Right, let's play.

07:05And it is Nwantushara.

07:06He will generally look to pitch the ball up.

07:09And he brings it back into the left-hander.

07:13Here is the first ball.

07:14It's a big first delivery.

07:16And straight away on the pads.

07:19And given.

07:20That is massive.

07:21Umpire Rabindra people said he took his time.

07:26Well, they're going to have a word.

07:28Just wondering whether they have an inside edge.

07:30They're having a word.

07:33Yes, he's asked for it.

07:34Ball tracking coming up.

07:38The original position is out.

07:41Pitching in line.

07:42Impact in line.

07:43And Ricard's umpire's call.

07:45Give me the answer.

07:45Rabindra, you can stay with your original position of out.

07:49I will let you know when you're on screen.

07:50You're on screen now.

07:51You can make the signal.

07:52Well, it was a big first ball.

07:55Hit most of the opportunities.

07:57Good strike rate.

07:58Not there.

08:02That's not the line to bowl.

08:04Lettundas will get it away.

08:06And that's four.

08:07Nicely done.

08:12Now, how close.

08:14Yes.

08:16Balliaguru thinks it out.

08:18Lettundas is a bit surprised.

08:20Let's see whether he'll refer it.

08:22Yeah, I hit him on the four.

08:24And he was moving towards the off-stump.

08:26Ball tracking coming up.

08:28The position is out.

08:31Pitching outside the leg stump.

08:33Give me the on-seal umpire, please, Ruchi.

08:36Outside the leg stump, I recommend you change your position from...

08:40Well, that was the only doubt, as far as I was concerned.

08:43Whether it pitched outside the leg stump.

08:47Oh, that's a ramp.

08:49Not where he wanted it to go.

08:51He was aiming over third.

08:52But it doesn't matter.

08:53He gets a boundary.

08:56Oh, what a shot.

08:58What a shot.

08:59It's gone all the way for six.

09:01It never looked like a six.

09:03But the timing...

09:06Backs away.

09:07Bolo follows his civil run.

09:09Now, just over.

09:11Tantalizingly close.

09:12Hands on heads.

09:14But Bangladesh have got a maximum.

09:15Picked it up.

09:20That's a big hit.

09:25Wow.

09:27Now, Fielder is looking at it.

09:29All he can do is see it sail over his head.

09:33There he goes again.

09:35Once again, it's the same result.

09:37It's a massive one.

09:38It's taken in the deep, but it's not going to count.

09:42Because it's one of the grounds persons.

09:46Oh, he's not going to hang about now.

09:48How far is those going?

09:49And it's going to be another long one.

09:52They all watch it sail over.

09:54There, here at the Premadasa, it's raining sixes.

09:58Caringho's good form.

10:04Straight to the squaric fielder.

10:06And from nowhere.

10:09Another exciting young batter from Bangladesh.

10:13That is Tawid Ridhoi.

10:19Now six more.

10:20Every time he strikes it.

10:23Every time he takes that elevation.

10:25It's gone the distance.

10:27He's a powerful strike, I'll tell you.

10:3048 of 26.

10:34Outside edge for the googly.

10:36And Brinda Fernando, big dive.

10:38He misses it.

10:39And with that boundary,

10:41brings up the 50 for Tanjit Hassan

10:43in just 27 deliveries.

10:46It's with half century.

10:48A, B, the first ball shot.

10:54That's his battle head.

10:57No chance for the fielder.

11:02Swivel gets an half-bat on it and gets it to go.

11:06I think the distance that seemed to have carried for the maximum.

11:10Well, he's opened up now.

11:12The scores are level.

11:13It's over and they get the single and they get the win.

11:22Bangladesh win by eight wickets.

11:24Bangladesh's first T20 series win over Sri Lanka.

11:27And Litton Kumar Dash becomes the first Bangladesh captain to win two T20 series away from home.

11:34One in West Indies in 2024 and now here.

11:38That's what transpired today here at the Premadasa, third T20 international.

11:45Not enough runs on the board.

11:46132 is all they could muster for seven wickets.

11:49Nisanka dipped in the 46.

11:51Shanaka shown for a while with 35 not out.

11:54Bangladesh cruising without much trouble.

11:56133 for two.

11:58Bangladesh winning this one by eight wickets and win the series two games to one.

12:03Vice President of Sri Lanka Cricket goes to the winning team and winning captain, Litton

12:08Dash.

12:09Big moment for Bangladesh as they beat Sri Lanka for the first time in a T20 ice series.

12:14And that concludes our post-match presentation.

12:19What a night.
