Dimuth Karunaratne 32(105)
32.3
Mehidy Hasan to Karunaratne, out Caught by Kayes!! Stunner from Kayes! Had to react sharply at short mid-wicket and he did so to pluck this with a dive to his right. Karunaratne will be gutted, it was a wicket gifted, that's for sure. Came down the track and wanted to force this through the leg-side. Couldn't keep it down and that was a special bit of fielding to send him back to the hut. Just the kind of breakthrough Bangladesh needed. Can they build on this?
