Commentary
Liyanage though glued himself on one end. He batted right till the end and along with the tail made sure Sri Lanka end with a competitive score. If not for him, the innings would have been closed well long ago. For Bangladesh, they bowled well throughout. Rishad Hossain got a wicket on the first ball but gave too many freebies. Other than that, Bangladesh bowled well. Right then! 235 looks a chaseable total but the pitch isn't that straightforward to bat. There is some swing and the spinners are getting purchase too. The series is on the line. Who do you think will win? Stay tuned for the chase.
An entertaining innings comes to an end. Janith Liyanage's excellent century has been overshadowed by a number of injuries on the other side. Anamul Haque, Jaker Ali, Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman all got injured at different times. Mustafizur Rahman and Jaker Ali went off on stretcher. However, talking about the game it was one of the best innings you will see under pressure. Liyanage played brilliantly. He kept on losing wickets regularly. Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka got off to a good start but gave away their wicket.

Commentary
That's it from this game then! The longest format follows now. That begins on the 22nd of March. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
Najmul Hossain Shanto, player of the series says Tanzid was brilliant. Adds Rahim was also good and his innings helped Rishad. Credits the bowlers for the way they bowled. Ends by saying he is looking forward for the Tests.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Rishad Hossain, says he is very happy with his performance. He played his shots once he got his eye in. Adds Rahim told him to back himself.
Kusal Mendis says they were quite a few runs short but he was happy with how they bowled. Janith Liyanage batted well and he took them to a decent total. Ends by saying Kumara and Hasaranga bowled well but it wasn't enough.
Credit to the Lanka bowlers through, especially the likes of Kumara and Hasaranga. The two took 6 wickets combined and kept Lanka in the game for a long time. Had they got support from the rest, things could have been different. However, we just feel Lanka were 20 runs or so short. They were quite under par throughout and in the decider, they were just outplayed.
Before that however. Bangladesh managed to get a few really good partnerships. They did not have a big one but a few handy stands always kept them ahead in the game. Rahim batted really well. He held fort at one end. However, the real highlight for Bangladesh was Tanzid. He batted beautifully at the start and have to say, it is his innings which won the hosts the game and the series.
What an innings that was from Rishad Hossain! Absolutely brilliant. When he walked out, the game was quite in the balance. Another wicket and Lanka would have had a serious chance but he played with a lot of positivity and in the matter of 5 overs, he took the game away from the opposition.
FOUR! There are the winning runs! This shorter and outside off. Rahim cuts it past point for a boundary. Bangladesh win by 4 wickets!

Commentary
Liyanage though glued himself on one end. He batted right till the end and along with the tail made sure Sri Lanka end with a competitive score. If not for him, the innings would have been closed well long ago. For Bangladesh, they bowled well throughout. Rishad Hossain got a wicket on the first ball but gave too many freebies. Other than that, Bangladesh bowled well. Right then! 235 looks a chaseable total but the pitch isn't that straightforward to bat. There is some swing and the spinners are getting purchase too. The series is on the line. Who do you think will win? Stay tuned for the chase.
An entertaining innings comes to an end. Janith Liyanage's excellent century has been overshadowed by a number of injuries on the other side. Anamul Haque, Jaker Ali, Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman all got injured at different times. Mustafizur Rahman and Jaker Ali went off on stretcher. However, talking about the game it was one of the best innings you will see under pressure. Liyanage played brilliantly. He kept on losing wickets regularly. Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka got off to a good start but gave away their wicket.

Kusal Mendis says they'll bat first. Adds it looks like a dry pitch and there could be a bit of seam movement for a few overs. Informs about the team changes.
PITCH REPORT - It looks on the drier side and is the same which was used for the first game. There are few cracks which could open up in the second half of the game. The spinners could come into play.
Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque (In for Litton Das), Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Rishad Hossain (In for Taijul Islam), Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman (In for Tanzim Hasan Sakib).
Sri Lanka (Playing XI) - Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (C/WK), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana (In for Dilshan Madushanka), Pramod Madushan, Lahiru Kumara.
TOSS - Sri Lanka have won the toss and will BAT.
Hello and welcome to the third and final ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It’s time for the decider. The series has been lively so far and it boils down to the final match. Shanto’s ton saw the hosts go up but the visitors bounced back in style thanks to the ton from Nissanka and a valuable knock from Asalanka. It’s hard to say who has their noses in front! Who are you backing? Stay tuned for more updates.
...Match Day...
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are on the edge of their seats as they head into the decider of their thrilling three-match ODI series. Sri Lanka's exhilarating chase in the second game, fueled by Pathum Nissanka's stunning century and Charith Asalanka's powerhouse performance, has set the stage for an epic showdown. Despite the top order's struggles, the Lankan lions clawed their way back into contention, thanks to their middle-order resilience. Avishka Fernando and Sadeera Samarawickrama are hungry for redemption, while Kusal Mendis and Janith Liyanage aim to replicate their earlier success. With the fiery return of Wanindu Hasaranga, who's equally potent with both bat and ball, Sri Lanka's confidence is soaring. Their pace trio of Dilshan Madushanka, Pramod Madushan, and Lahiru Kumara will look to tighten the screws on Bangladesh's batting lineup, especially in the death overs. Bangladesh, meanwhile, are kicking themselves for letting victory slip through their fingers in the second game. Despite early breakthroughs, they failed to capitalize on their advantage. Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar must fire at the top, setting the stage for their formidable middle order led by the century-scoring skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto. Towhid Hridoy's resilience in the last game showcased Bangladesh's depth, with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah adding experience and stability to the lineup. However, their bowling unit has faltered, with Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam struggling to contain the opposition. Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, and Shoriful Islam have shown promise but need to step up their game in the crucial moments. Both teams know there's no room for error in this winner-takes-all encounter. Bangladesh's explosive batting lineup will look to dominate from the outset, while Sri Lanka's rejuvenated squad will be determined to maintain their momentum. With the series hanging in the balance, every ball will be scrutinized, every run fiercely contested. It's a battle of nerves, skill, and determination as these two cricketing powerhouses lock horns in a showdown for supremacy. Who will emerge victorious? The stage is set, the players primed. So, let the drama unfold!

Commentary
That's it from this game then! The longest format follows now. That begins on the 22nd of March. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
Najmul Hossain Shanto, player of the series says Tanzid was brilliant. Adds Rahim was also good and his innings helped Rishad. Credits the bowlers for the way they bowled. Ends by saying he is looking forward for the Tests.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Rishad Hossain, says he is very happy with his performance. He played his shots once he got his eye in. Adds Rahim told him to back himself.
Kusal Mendis says they were quite a few runs short but he was happy with how they bowled. Janith Liyanage batted well and he took them to a decent total. Ends by saying Kumara and Hasaranga bowled well but it wasn't enough.
Credit to the Lanka bowlers through, especially the likes of Kumara and Hasaranga. The two took 6 wickets combined and kept Lanka in the game for a long time. Had they got support from the rest, things could have been different. However, we just feel Lanka were 20 runs or so short. They were quite under par throughout and in the decider, they were just outplayed.
Before that however. Bangladesh managed to get a few really good partnerships. They did not have a big one but a few handy stands always kept them ahead in the game. Rahim batted really well. He held fort at one end. However, the real highlight for Bangladesh was Tanzid. He batted beautifully at the start and have to say, it is his innings which won the hosts the game and the series.
What an innings that was from Rishad Hossain! Absolutely brilliant. When he walked out, the game was quite in the balance. Another wicket and Lanka would have had a serious chance but he played with a lot of positivity and in the matter of 5 overs, he took the game away from the opposition.
FOUR! There are the winning runs! This shorter and outside off. Rahim cuts it past point for a boundary. Bangladesh win by 4 wickets!
