In reply, the visiting side made 101 losing four wickets in 20.4 overs before inclement weather caused havoc once again. At this stage, the junior Tigers were eight runs ahead so they were declared the winner. Bangladesh’s Akbar Ali was not on a 36-ball 30 while Shamim Hossain was unbeaten on 27 off 43 deliveries. The Lankans’ Paranavithana and Ashian Daniel notched two wickets apiece.
The first one-dayer at the same venue Tuesday was washed out due to rain. The third one-dayer will take place Saturday. The two teams earlier played out a 1-1 draw in the two-game four-day series.
