Bangladesh Eyes Historic T20 Series Win in Colombo

Bangladesh leveled the T20I series against Sri Lanka with an 83-run victory in the second match, highlighted by Litton Das’s 76 and Rishad Hossain’s three-wicket haul. The decisive third match took place in Colombo, where Bangladesh's bowlers, led by Mahedi Hasan’s career-best 4-11, restricted Sri Lanka to 132/7. Pathum Nissanka top-scored for Sri Lanka with 46 while Dasun Shanaka added 35, but the hosts struggled against Bangladesh’s spinners. Bangladesh now needs 133 runs to secure their first-ever T20I series win over Sri Lanka. The series has underscored Bangladesh’s growing team unity and bowling depth, while Sri Lanka's top order has lost momentum after their initial win. The outcome of the final chase will determine if Bangladesh makes history against their Asian rivals.
