Wanindu Hasaranga joins Kusal Mendis as the third wicket. Mendis took his second fifth wicket of the series in balls, but was out to backward point soon after. Mahmudullah Riyad made a difficult catch on a ball from Soumya Sarkar.
Mustafiz, who gave 18 runs in the tenth over, broke the third wicket partnership by dismissing Hasaranga. This partnership resulted in 59 runs in 31 balls.
Shoriful got Asalanka but Mendis was still dealing a flurry of threatening boundaries to keep the hosts posting a challenging total on the board.
As Bangladesh were desperately trying to get rid of Kusal Mendis as he neared death, Taskin was the man to bring him back. Kusal Mendis bowled a bouncer and Soumya took an easy catch at midwicket.
