BAN VS SL - 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh, 2021

There we have it - Bangladesh have absolutely bossed this, and tamed a hapless Sri Lankan side here, to achieve their first bilateral ODI series win against them, such that they can play that "perfect game" in the third ODI with all the freedom in the world. It's Rishi signing off from the studio on behalf of Vineet, Akshay and Mukesh. Here's to fewer farces and more humdingers. Cheers!

Tamim Iqbal | Bangladesh captain: Lucky to win two games. We haven't played the perfect game yet, we lost a lot of wickets in the middle, and 200 was looking difficult, but Mahmudullah and Mushy played very well. We got an okay total, but I think the bowling was special. Taskin was asked to come on short notice, and Mehidy bowled well. Our bowling and fielding was great today, but we haven't nailed the perfect performance yet. We had to step up our fielding, and the catches we didn't take, those will change games, and if we take those then I'll be a happy captain.

Mushfiqur Rahim | Man of the match (125 off 127): Contributing from the front was great, but I was disappointed not playing the last 11 balls. Mahmudullah batted well and a couple of guys chipped in, and the bowling effort was special tonight. There are areas we can improve. We need to be fearless, but there's a fine line between fearless and selective cricket. Hopefully our batsmen take a few notes from this game and come back better next match, because this isn't the easiest pitch to bat on.

Kusal Perera | Sri Lanka captain: It's very disappointing. Both matches, the middle-order collapsed and lack of experience cost us. We need to have a serious talk. They have to back and believe in their strength and play fearless cricket.

21:57 Local Time, 15:57 GMT, 21:27 IST: A farce to wrap up Bangladesh's first win over Sri Lanka in a bilateral series! Rain did spoil the party in parts, but couldn't dampen a breathtaking 125 by Mushfiqur Rahim in a familiar rearguard effort, with ample support from Mahmudullah. Sri Lanka were rather negative from the outset, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to put on partnerships. 8 out of 11 batsmen got into double figures, but no one crossed 24 - that should tell a story. The Fizz and Mehidy kept it watertight, and eventually, rain forced a farcical equation of 119 to win in 2 overs, for which Sri Lanka have no one to blame but themselves. Presentations coming up in a moment. Go nowhere.
