Experienced campaigner Mushfiqur Rahim took responsibility and made an 84-run partnership with Mehedi Hasan Miraz to take the Tigers past 200
Mushfiqur Rahim completed 6,000 ODI runs Sunday and later went on to score his 37th half-century.
On a slow and sticky wicket, Mushfiq fought a lone battle to take Bangladesh to a competitive total.
Bangladesh’s top order collapsed and they were 117/6 at one stage.
With @BCBtigers dealing with a top-order debacle, @mushfiqur15 emerged as the savior for the second time in the series.https://t.co/hVu6CdeDFf#BCBTIGERS #BCB #TIGERS #BANGLADESH #CRICKET #BANGLADESHCRICKET #MUSHFIQURRAHIM #RAHIM #MUSHFIQ #MUSHFIQUR #MUSHFIQRAHIM #SRILANKA #SLC

Middle-order also failed to absorb the pressure as Mahmudullah and Mosaddek Hossain gave their wickets away cheaply.
However, experienced campaigner Mushfiq took responsibility and made an 84-run partnership with Mehedi Hasan Miraz to take the Tigers past 200.
In the end, Mushfiq’s valiant knock ended at the non-strikers’ end.
