Ebadot Hossain to Maheesh Theekshana
OUT! RUN OUT! Chamika Karunaratne is run out! Massive moment in the game! Suicidal work from Karunaratne! Shouldn't have done that! Length and on off. Maheesh Theekshana drops it to covers. The batters might have already talked about taking a quick single and there was no second thought as both started running across. Now then, Shakib Al Hasan at covers has three stumps to aim and had few seconds. The Bangladeshi skipper hits the bulls eye and sends Karunaratne packing.

Mahedi Hasan to Asitha Fernando
NO BALL! Sri Lanka win the match! Ohhh, man! What a match this was! Flatter and on off. Asitha Fernando goes on his knee and pulls it to long on. The batters take two runs. A huge siren rings which indicate Mahedi Hasan has overstepped. The scores were level but the extra helps Sri Lanka cross the line. The Lankans win by 2 wickets and with four balls to spare.
