In the end, Bangladesh sneaked past Sri Lanka and registered a 2-wicket win to get two points on the board.
Meanwhile, it was the second consecutive defeat for Sri Lanka, and now they will have to win their next two games to stay alive in the competition.

But still, the Sri Lankan bowlers kept it tight and troubled the Bangladeshi batters. However, Towhid Hridoy played a brilliant cameo of 40 off 20, which shifted the game in Bangladesh's favour. In the end, they reached 125/8 in 18 overs to win the game. There were a few stats and records that were made in this clash, about which we will talk here.
