Priyanjan dismissed

Sri Lanka were 179 for the loss of four wickets after 37 overs in the second ODI against Bangladesh on Thursday. Kumara Sangakkara (87) and skipper Angelo Mathews (1) were out in the middle for Sri Lanka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. Ashan Priyanjan (60) fell trapped leg-before to Shakib Al Hasan. He played 85 balls for his second ODI fifty. The 114-run fourth wicket partnership between Sangakkara and Priyanjan brought the Lankans strongly back into the game. Sangakkara brought up his 84th half-century off just 52 balls with six hits to the fence. Dinesh Chandimal (9) was the last batsman to go, caught by Shamshur Rahman at midwicket off Shohag Gazi. Both openers were sent back by Rubel Hossain. Tillakaratne Dilshan was again dismissed off a miscued pull that ballooned up to Mushfiqur Rahim who made no mistake. Kusal Perera (8), went first, when he cut Rubel straight to Shamsur Rahman at point. Rahman made no mistake taking the catch. Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews has decided to bat first after winning the toss. Mushfiqur Rahim, the Bangladesh captain, said that this is what he would’ve wanted if he had won the toss. Mashrafe Mortaza has been brought into the side replacing Al-Amin Hossain, who made his debut in the last match. Tigers have to win this match to keep the series alive. The last time Bangladesh lost an ODI series at home was against Pakistan on December, 2011.
