And that's all we have from this rain-affected game which Bangladesh jumped on to win the series. The dead rubber is on Friday, 28th May. Tune in then as well before Sri Lanka head home. Have a good night, stay safe you all, wear masks, maintain social distancing, and get vaccinated if you're eligible in your region. It's goodbye from Vishal, Sreshth, Himanshu, Thilak and Raghav. Ciao!

Kusal Perera: It's very disappointing. Lack of experience cost us a lot, middle-order collapses cost us in both games. Our players have to back their strengths and believe in themselves, and play fearless cricket.

Mushfiqur is the Player of the Match: A win is always special and when you contribute it feels great. I was very disappointed that I couldn't finish the game because 11 balls were left. We lost a couple of early wickets but it happens against the new ball. Riyad batted really well with them and a couple of other guys chipped in. Our bowling was special tonight. There's always area to improve and you have to be selective with shots on these tracks, it's not easy to play here. Our batsmen will take a few notes from this innings and come better in the next match.

Tamim: Luckily we won two games and we're happy we won the series. We haven't played the perfect game yet, hoping we can in the third game. We lost a lot of wickets and 200 was looking difficult at one point, Mushy's innings was really good, riyad chipped in as well. It was an okok total we posted, the wicket played well. The way Shoriful bowled and Taskin came in as a concussion sub, it's not easy to bowl suddenly, he showed character. Spinners Miraz and Shakib were brilliant, our fielding is getting better now. We still haven't nailed it yet. Before the series I told the team we have to step up our fielding. You take some catches and drop some, but it's the ones you drop that can turn and win matches. It was required today but it's crucial to take such catches.

Vivaan : "@Saki, Bangladesh won the under 19 world cup in 2020, I think we should expect some prospects for the future generation for cricket in BD"

Azweer: "Bangladesh tops the World cup super league table, with that win."

9.56pm: First time that Bangladesh have beaten Sri Lanka in a bilateral series across formats. Our statsman Sampath reminds us that since the 2015 World Cup, Bangladesh have won 10 out of 11 bilateral ODI series they have played at home and only lost to England in 2016. Those 10 series victories include their maiden series win in any format against Pakistan, India, South Africa and Sri Lanka.

The wins have not been clinical but they have been impressive from this Bangladesh side. Their main concern will be the wobble that the seniors, especially Mushfiqur, has had to pull them out of. A much better bowling show overall from them. Sri Lanka, with a new-look squad and captain, and without much experience will take a lot back from these two losses and would want to end with at least a win in three days from now. The presentation is coming soon.

Saki: "Big four (Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah) might retire after next ODI word cup, don't see any promising raising star to take such responsibility. This Srilankan team is a perfect reflection of the future Bangladesh team."

Shoriful Islam to Udana, 1 run, full on middle and off. Driven uppishly to long-off to end the innings as Sri Lanka concede defeat.

Last ball of the day

Shoriful Islam to Udana, SIX, good length on middle leg, and another six. This time over deep midwicket, and again after making room. He cleared his front leg and smashed that away with all the power he had.

Shoriful Islam to Udana, no run, short ball again on middle and leg. Puts in that extra effort, as Mushfiqur collects it high above his head with a jump

Shoriful Islam to Udana, no run, goes for the yoker, but it turns out to be a full-toss on middle and leg. Udana drives to mid-off.

0
Shoriful Islam to Udana, no run, slower ball just outside off. He goes for a wild swing, but misses completely.

Shoriful Islam to Udana, SIX, short of a length on middle and leg, he backs out and pulls powerfully over long-on for the maximum. Some fight from Udana, with Sri Lanka having nothing to lose.

Shoriful will finish off the innings. Over the wicket
