In an unfortunate turn of events, the high-voltage encounter between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has been paused due to rain. After being put into bat first, Bangladesh raced to 60 for one in 4.1 overs before rain played spoilsport in the cracking contest.
Litton Das Oozes His Class Before 3rd T20I Gets Marred By Rain
After winning the toss, the Dutch captain Scott Edwards opted to bowl first, allowing his bowlers to capitalise on the cloudy conditions. However, the visitors had a forgettable start to the innings, with Litton Das leading Bangladesh's stunning batting performance with a scintillating knock.
Despite losing his opening partner, Saif Hassan, for twelve runs, Litton didn't spare a chance to dominate the Dutch bowlers. The stylish batter hammered five boundaries and two sixes, powering Bangladesh to 60 runs in just 4.1 overs before rain intervened in the highly anticipated clash.
As rain threat looms large on the third T20I, here's the weather report of Sylhet International Stadium, where the game is being played.

According to AccuWeather, the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, which is the venue for the third T20I between Bangladesh and the Netherlands, might witness periods of rainfall this evening.
The Sylhet skies are expected to be covered with dark clouds, with the chances of rain reading as high as 92 per cent in the city. Therefore, we could be in for a long delay, as the persistent downpour is all set to hamper the ongoing encounter.
Bangladesh, having already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead, wouldn't mind a washout in the final dead-rubber. However, the Dutch must be disappointed with how they have performed in the series, especially if rain prevents them from concluding the tour on a high note.
