Bangladesh send Sri Lanka to bat in T20I series decider

Bangladesh have won the toss and asked Sri Lanka to bat first for the third time in the last T20I and the series deciding match in Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today (March 9).

Both of teams have won one game each as the first game turned out to be a cracking contest in which Bangladesh fell just 3 short of chasing 207. 

Meanwhile, the second game dished out another batting beauty but Sri Lanka were below par with their batting efforts.

The Tigers remain unchanged in the last of the series while Sri Lanka made three changes in the playing squad.

Sri Lankan regular captain Wanindu Hasaranga returned to the playing XI after a ban. Dhananjaya de Silva and Nuan Tushara have joined the team with him. This trio have replaced Aviska Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka and Matisha Pathirana.

Bangladesh squad:

Litton Das(w), Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman

Sri Lanka squad:

Dhananjaya de Silva, Kusal Mendis(w), Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga(c), Maheesh Theekshana, Binura Fernando, Nuwan Thushara
