Sri Lanka presently trail the three-match ODI series 0-2 with the final encounter to take place on Friday in Dhaka. Bangladesh took an unassailable lead on Tuesday after beating the Lankan side by 103 runs (D/L method).
Batting first, the hosts were in a spot of bother before wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim notched up a century and guided the team to 246 runs before the side was bowled out.
Later, the Bangladesh bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 141/9 in 40 overs in a rain-curtailed match. Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman scalped three wickets apiece.
