Tigers eye series win

Bangladesh will be looking to seal the three-match ODI series when they take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

Although Bangladesh registered a rather comfortable win in the end, the hosts will be wary over the probable threat from a relatively young Sri Lankan side that put up a valiant display in the latter stage of the match, largely due to Wanindu Hasaranga's blistering 60-ball 74.

The visitors gave the Tigers a bit of a scare late in the game but they eventually managed to defend their total of 257 runs and winning by 33 runs.

The senior cricketers with the likes of skipper Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah did their part with the bat by striking fifties while Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman proved to be decisive with the ball in the first game.

On the contrary, the likes of Liton Das and Mohammad Mithun would be hoping to make amends after continuing their poor run of form if they are given another opportunity today.

Weather however could postpone the party with the likelihood of heavy rain in the next few days as the cyclone "Yaas" is set to strike India's east coast around May 26.
