Sri Lanka trumps Bangladesh after Dilshan, Sangakkara tons

When Shakib and Rahim were in the middle, there was a chance of a fightback though. Shakib was in a particularly vengeful mood. The two started off diligently, steering clear of risks and claiming the easy singles. They had a few overs to spare, and the first goal was to keep wickets intact.

They carried on in similar vein till 29th over, when Shakib decided it was time to accelerate. First, he came down the wicket to Herath and lofted him down the ground for six. Then, there were consecutive fours, driven through the mid-off and cover region. Rahim then entered the act, lifting Dilshan over long-on for six. However, just when the partnership looked threatening, Sri Lanka got the big wicket, Shakib (46) holing out off Dilshan.

Rahim carried on to put together 44 with Sabbir Rahman, but Lakmal broke that stand, clattering Rahim’s stumps with a slower ball. Rahman went on to notch up a half-century, off 60 balls, but Dilshan had Mortaza stumped and Malinga bagged consecutive wickets in the 47th over to bring an end to proceedings.
