Overview

• Bangladesh chased 169 to win by four wickets, finishing 169/6 with one ball remaining after Sri Lanka made 168/7 in Dubai.
• Saif Hassan (61) and Towhid Hridoy (58) laid the platform with a 54-run stand following Litton Das’s 23 after an early wicket.
• Mustafizur Rahman starred with 3/20, supported by Mahedi Hasan, to restrict Sri Lanka following a fast start.
• Dasun Shanaka top-scored with 64 not out and later struck twice in the final over after a 57-run burst with Charith Asalanka, but Nasum Ahmed and Shamim Hossain sealed the chase.
• The win gives Bangladesh early Super Four momentum after choosing to bowl first and increases pressure on the defending champions’ remaining fixtures.
