🏟️ Recap: What Happened in the 2nd T20I?
Bangladesh stormed back into the series with a massive 83-run win in the 2nd T20I at Dambulla. Litton Das led from the front with a brilliant 76 off 50 balls, while Shamim Hossain provided the firepower with 48 off 27. Their total of 177/7 proved too much for Sri Lanka, who folded for just 94 runs in 15.2 overs.
Bangladesh’s bowlers were on 🔥 — Rishad Hossain bagged 3/18, while Shoriful Islam (2/12) and Mohammad Saifuddin (2/23) choked the run flow and picked wickets regularly. It was a complete performance that shifted the momentum in Bangladesh’s favor!
📊 Pitch Report – R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
This venue traditionally favors bowlers, especially pacers! The average first-innings score from the last 5 T20Is is just 130 runs 😮. Out of 62 wickets taken here, 39 were by pacers and 23 by spinners, so pace-heavy lineups could be crucial.
💡 Tip: Opt for all-rounders and strike bowlers to gain an edge in your fantasy team.
