The first T20 international between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka turned out to be a cracking contest where both teams scored 200 or more. But Sri Lanka, in the end, held their nerves to pull off a close win by just three runs to take the lead.
The second T20 international between these two teams is scheduled to take place on Wednesday and will be played at the same venue, Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka have a great chance to win the series, but Bangladesh will be high on confidence after the fightback their lower-order showed in the first match.
