Maheesh Theekshana to Jaker Ali
JUST SHORT! Tossed up, full and on middle and off, Jaker Ali slogs it aerially down the ground, does not get the elevation as it goes flat towards long on. The fielder runs in and dives but the ball drops well short of him. He does well to get his body behind to stop the boundary.

OUT! LBW! That ends the match as Hasaranga finishes with 4 scalps. Full, outside off, another googly, Jaker Ali gets down to sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. Hasaranga appeals and the umpire agrees. Jaker wants a review but there is none left. BANGLADESH BOWLED OUT FOR 167 AND SRI LANKA WIN BY 77 RUNS!
