Dananjaya to Mehidy Hasan, out Caught by Dickwella!! The previous blemish doesn't matter, Akila has got his man, 5-wickets on debut for the mystery spinner. This was tossed up just outside off, Mehidy was prodding forward in defence, he was playing for the turn, this one didn't, went straight on, caught the outside edge and Dickwella does the rest. Sri Lanka are just one wicket away. Mehidy Hasan c Dickwella b Dananjaya 7(6) [6s-1]

Dananjaya to Razzak, out Stumped!! This was coming, wasn't it? Razzak wasn't willing to hold back. Dananjaya has his fourth scalp. Terrifc bowling by the debutant. Slowish and drifted it wide of off, Razzak went low for a mow across the line and in the process, dragged his back leg out of the crease. Dickwella spotted it and took the bails off in a flash. The wheels are coming off for Bangladesh. Razzak st Dickwella b Dananjaya 2(3)

Dananjaya to Sabbir Rahman, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Two in two for Sri Lanka. Bangladesh plunge further into the darkness. Another failure for Rahman. Tossed up around off and middle, gripped and extracted some bounce there. Rahman gets forward to block and the ball pings his glove before lobbing off the pad to FSL. Sri Lanka are all over the hosts here. Dananjaya is having a dream debut. Sabbir Rahman c Kusal Mendis b Dananjaya 1(2)

24.1
Dananjaya to Mahmudullah, out Caught by Karunaratne!! Dananjaya has done it again and devours Bangladesh captain. The Aeroplane celebration is out from Dananjaya. Lovely stuff, sees the batsman give the charge. Shortens his length and gets it to drift with the angle. Mahmudullah after stepping out wasn't anywhere close to the pitch. Hung his bat out hastily and outside edge is found. Flew low to Karunaratne at first slip, who held onto it without much fuss. The hosts have lost half their side and sink further into the mire. Mahmudullah c Karunaratne b Dananjaya 6(8) [4s-1]

20.5
Dananjaya to Liton Das, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! There you go, Dananjaya picks up a wicket in his first over. Such a skilful bowler, this lad is. Looped up around off and the ball gains some vicious bounce to put Liton in a soup. Liton stayed back - which proved costly. Extra bounce meant that it took his bat handle and popped up to FSL. Falls into the trap set by Dananjaya and the Sri Lankans. Bangladesh quaking now. Liton Das c Kusal Mendis b Dananjaya 12(20)
20.4
