Tanzid Hasan and Rishad Hossain blazed quick runs to help Bangladesh overcome some mid-innings chaos to beat Sri Lanka by four wickets. The hosts clinched the ODI series 2-1 after three players got injured in the last three overs of the first innings in Chattogram. Tanzid, who was approved as Soumya Sarkar’s concussions substitute, struck a career-best 84 before Rishad went berserk, slamming four sixes and five fours in an unbeaten 18-ball 48.
Liyanage staged a lone battle en route to his maiden century after Bangladesh made regular strikes, with Taskin Ahmed leading the way for the home side with 3-42.
Skipper Kusal Mendis (29) and Charith Asalanka (37) made a start, but their wickets tumbled before they could hit out high.
Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, only to lose both openers inside four overs.
Taskin struck early, trapping in-form opener Pathum Nissanka leg-before for one, then dismissing other opener Avishka Fernando for four in his next over.
Mustafizur Rahman, playing his first match in the series, removed Sadeera Samarawickrama off his first ball for 14, to leave Sri Lanka reeling at 41-3.
Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain made Mendis his first ODI wicket, also off his first ball of the game.
Mustafizur ended Asalanka’s counter-attacking innings, before Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed two back-to-back wickets to expose the tail.
But Liyanage held one end firm to ensure Sri Lanka batted out 50 overs, hitting Taskin over the cover for a four in the final over to reach his century off 101 balls.
Mustafizur and Mehidy claimed 2-39 and 2-38, respectively.
Rishad came to the crease with Bangladesh needing 58 runs to win in 13.5 overs. He opened his account with a first-ball six off Wanindu Hasranga, before pasting him for a four and another six in the same over. He slammed two more sixes, off Hasaranga, in the 40th over that cost Sri Lanka 24 runs. In all, Rishad took 40 runs off Hasaranga, from just 11 deliveries.
The series is tied 1-1 after Bangladesh won the opener by six wickets, with Sri Lanka taking the second by three wickets on Friday.
