The three-match T20 series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh has moved like a pendulum. The first game ended in favour of Sri Lanka, while Bangladesh bounced back well to win the second one. Now with series on the line, it is time for the final game.
The third game will be played on Saturday at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. Bangladesh have shown a better performance in the first two games, and they were pretty close to winning the first game as well. However, they will fancy their chances to beat Sri Lanka, but Wanindu Hasaranga will be back, which will boost Sri Lanka's chances even more.
