Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka , 3rd Place Play-off at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin , Asian Games Men’s T20I, 2026 , Oct 03, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Saif Hassan to Nuwan Thushara, A couple of runs to end, and Sri Lanka finish with a very solid total of 165/9 on the board. Flighted up, angling it across off. Nuwan Thushara reaches for it and slices it off the toe end of the bat and to the right of long off for a couple of quick runs.

19.5: Saif Hassan to Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, OUT! TIMBER! Flatter one from Saif Hassan, sliding it across the right-hander, from middle to off. Vijayakanth Viyaskanth backs away a bit and has a big swing across the line and ends up missing the ball. The ball then goes on to castle into the stumps and Sri Lanka are now 9 down for 163.

19.4: Saif Hassan to Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, SIX! Oh, that should have been another wicket for Saif Hassan. Flighted ball on middle and leg, swung away down to deep mid-wicket. Mahedi Hasan is right on the ropes and takes a good catch, but he takes a step back and ends up placing his foot on the boundary ropes.

19.3: Saif Hassan to Sahan Arachchige, OUT! BOWLED! Quicker through the air, just outside off and darting it back in. Sahan Arachchige sits down to slog sweep it away but he's played all over it, and misses. The ball crashes into the off pole and the skipper has to walk back after a solid knock.

19.2: Saif Hassan to Sahan Arachchige, That's excellent running. Full and around off, driven along the turf and wide of the fielder at long off for a couple of quick runs.

19.1: Saif Hassan to Wanuja Sahan, Half an appeal for LBW, but it's been turned down. A round-arm delivery, sliding it into the pads. Wanuja Sahan goes for the reverse sweep, misses, and gets it off the pads to the off side for a leg bye.

18.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Wanuja Sahan, Back of a length, angled into the batter. This is tucked away wide of mid-wicket for a single.

18.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Wanuja Sahan, FOUR! A cracking shot to get off the mark. Slower ball, a tad short and outside off. Sahan stays back and smacks it past point for a boundary.

18.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Dushan Hemantha, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust, and Sri Lanka are now 7 down. Mustafizur Rahman takes pace off, serving it full and on the stumps. Dushan Hemantha takes the front leg out and heaves it down to long on, where Tanzid Hasan takes a straightforward catch.

18.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Dushan Hemantha, Short of a length, tucked away off the hips and past square leg for a couple of runs.

18.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Dushan Hemantha, Slower one, back of a length and angled across off. Dushan Hemantha stays back and dabs it to backward point.

18.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Tharindu Ratnayake, OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, some respite for Mustafizur Rahman and Bangladesh, but the damage has already been done. Rahman serves it a bit fuller and outside off, Tharindu Ratnayake looks to get forward and hammer it over covers but doesn't get the elevation. Rishad Hossain at extra cover leaps up and snaffles it nicely with both hands. End of a game-changing knock from Ratnayake.

17.6: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, DROPPED! That's poor fielding from Parvez Hossain Emon. Shorter and around off, Tharindu Ratnayake reverse-sweeps it high down to deep backward point, where Emon doesn't get forward at all, and tries to take it really low, ending up in a dropped catch. Single taken.

17.5: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, SIX! Flatter one, angled across off. Tharindu Ratnayake goes on one knee and slog-sweeps it in front of mid-wicket for a biggie. 20 off the over with a ball to go.

17.4: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, FOUR! Oh, nearly a superb piece of fielding, but the ball ends over the ropes. Good length around off, swatted away between long on and deep mid-wicket. The fielder from the latter position runs to his right and dives in, flicking the ball back up and unfortunately for him, over the ropes as well.

17.3: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, Nagging length just outside off. This time Ratnayake fails to connect with the reverse sweep.

17.2: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, FOUR! Length ball, angled into the batter. Tharindu Ratnayake swings it leg side, smearing away in front of square leg for a boundary.

17.1: Rishad Hossain to Tharindu Ratnayake, SIX! Tharindu Ratnayake keeps throwing caution to the wind and nails the reverse this time, bringing up his maiden T20I FIFTY, off just 26 balls. Floated up on a length around off, Ratnayake reverse sweeps it over deep backward point for a huge six.
