Sri Lanka were 58 for the loss of two wickets after 12 overs in the second ODI against Bangladesh on Thursday. Kumara Sangakkara (32) and Dinesh Chandimal (9) were out in the middle for Sri Lanka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. 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.
