 OUT! CAUGHT! Afif departs and Hasaranga gets his first wicket of the game. Flighted delivery on off, Afif had to go for it as the required run rate has been creeping up. Afif goes for a big slog sweep across the line. He does not time it as it goes off the upper half of his bat. It goes towards short fine leg. Dushmantha Chameera is having a field day, be it with the ball or on the field. He takes a simple catch. 129 needed in 76 balls and this looks too big an ask. 

 Loopy ball around off, Mahmudullah drives but the fielder at short extra cover dives and parries it towards long off. Allows the batters to take two.

 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Chameera's wonderful evening continues. The extra pace of Chameera does the trick yet again. Dushmantha Chameera hits the deck hard. The ball hurries onto Mehidy Hasan. He looks to pull but does not time it at all. He ends up miscuing it to short mid-wicket where Gunathilaka takes a simple catch. 125 needed off 68. That looks farfetched. Sri Lanka need 3 wickets to finish the series on a high.

 Good length ball around middle and off. Taskin taps it to point. 

 OUT! BOWLED! Chameera gets his 5-fer! What a wonderful performance this has been by the pacer. He has been bowling with pace, aggression, and more importantly, he has been hitting the right line and length.  A spicy yorker right in the blockhole. It would trouble any top order batter and it is too good for a number 9 batter.  Taskin cannot get his bat down in time and the ball hits middle and off stump.
