In the second Twenty20 international match, Bangladesh's captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, led his team to an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka. After this, all three games were tied.
Shanto's action and team effort
One major contributing factor to Bangladesh's triumph was Shanto's 53 off 38 balls, which included two sixes and four fours. Although Hridoy's 32 off 25 balls was a major factor, the duo's undefeated partnership of 87 runs was what ultimately decided Bangladesh's triumph. When the team won the next game after losing the first, they showed bravery and excellent bowling performances.
Solid Start and Disciplined Bowling
Bangladesh's opening pair, Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar, laid the foundation for the innings with a partnership of 68 runs. Bangladesh lost wickets, but Shanto and Hridoy steadied the batting and led their team to victory. With Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman leading the way, the bowlers maintained their composure after limiting Sri Lanka to a modest total.
Sri Lanka's efforts and shortcomings
Kusal and Kamindu Mendis shared 66 runs to steady the batting after Sri Lanka's openers had an initial rough time. Quick wickets and missed opportunities hindered Sri Lanka's momentum. Acting captain Charith Asalanka accepted the team's batting deficiencies and highlighted the need to record big runs in trying situations.
Looking Forward
With one game remaining in the series, the third Twenty20 encounter should prove to be an exciting finale. Bangladesh will be eager to win the series, as will Sri Lanka, who will be looking to turn around their loss and sustain their momentum. The championship match is anticipated to feature an intriguing encounter between two strong teams.
