On the 2nd ODI of Sri Lankan tour to Bangladesh. The host team got defeated by 3 wickets with 17 balls remaining. It was another close contest.
Bangladesh batting first gave a defendable target of 287 for Sri Lanka with Towhid Hridoy's not out 96 and a half century from the opener Soumya Sarkar.
Sri Lankans chasing the target, Pathum Nissanka scored a century and even though other top order batsmen couldn't hold for long, Pathum Nissanka had a good 4th wicket partnership with Charith Asalanka who individually made 91 before being out. This particular partnership set the stage for sri lankan win.
Now the 3 match ODI series is tied at 1-1 and the 3rd ODI would be the final one.

In the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka second ODI match, the Sri Lankan team won the first toss and decided to field. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Soumya Sarkar both got off to a great start. But against Srilanka Tawheed Hriday performed well but the openers of Bangladesh gave a sloppy performance, no batsman can reliably play well, it is very disappointing for the team, the team needs a reliable batsman. Bangladesh managed to collect 286 runs in the allotted 50 overs. The Sri Lankan team came down to bat with a target of 287 runs, although they were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka led Sri Lanka to victory with responsible batting. Beat Bangladesh by three wickets to level the series 1-1.
In 2 nd Ofi game Bangladesh team vs Sri Lanka team, Sri Lanka team won this 2 nd game by brilliant struggle from Batting lineup side. Bangladesh team set a good runs target of 286 runs in 50 overs. In start of their bowling lineup Bangladesh team good down 3 wickets of Sri Lanka batsman. First A.Fernando was dismissed and scored 0 run, K.Mendis scored 16 runs and then this player was also bowled out and third S.Samarawickrama was also took down only 1 run. But one opener batsman P.Nissanka and C.Asalanka these players showed very commendable effort and with help of these batsman today Sri Lanka team won this game. P.Nissanka scored 114 runs in 113 balls and he hitted thirteen 4s and three 6s. C.Asalanka made 91 runs in 93 balls and at last Bangladesh team did not stop Sri Lankan batsman for chasing their target. 
Bangladesh lost the match against Sri Lanka in their 2nd odi but Bangladesh scored good enough in my opinion cause in first match they stopped Sri Lanka within 255-10 runs. So today 286 runs was good target for Sri Lanka, was pretty good. Soumya Sarkar did 68 runs and feel bad for Towhid Hridoy as he couldn't complete his century for 4 runs! He did 96 runs, maybe best runs in his Carrier. But Sri Lanka was too serious today and Pathum Nissanka did 114 runs but same story repeated. Charith Asalanka also missed his century for 9 runs but they played best and won the match
In yesterday's match, Liton Das was out for zero runs, Mahmudullah Riyad was out for zero runs, if these two batsmen could have averaged a good performance in yesterday's match, then Bangladesh's run score could have topped 300. If Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Tanjim Hasan Shakib did not play in a defensive manner, if they had played in an attacking manner, the score of runs would have gone above 300 runs where the chances of Bangladesh's victory would have been created. However, Bangladesh performed well in yesterday's match, no doubt it is not worth saying that, but the batsmen got the opportunity to increase as the ball got slower on the pitch due to the extra dew during the night. Therefore, Sri Lanka took the right decision to win the toss and take the bat which played a big role in their victory.

In the second ODI match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Bangladesh team batted in the first innings, and they scored 286 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Although in today's match, Bangladesh team batsmen played well in the first innings, and they collected a good number of runs due to which they set a target of 287 runs to Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lankan team came to bat in the second innings and may easily meet the target set by Bangladesh. And today the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team is so great that they have lost only three wickets so far and are batting brilliantly to win. The partnership between Sri Lankan batsmen Charith Asalanka and Pathum Nissanka has been fascinating and both have batted well. Pathum Nissanka has scored 108 runs as of now, and he is still unbeaten, Charith Asalanka is already batting brilliantly to score a century scoring 81 runs he will soon succeed in scoring a century. And today's match will definitely be won by Sri Lankan team and Bangladesh won the first match so if today's match is won then the game will be 1/1 between the two teams.
Batting against the target of 286 runs given by Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning. But from there Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka led the team to victory. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka played responsible batting. Pathum Nissanka scored 114 runs off 113 balls and Charith Asalanka scored 91 runs off 93 balls. Current score of Sri Lanka team is 238 runs for 5 wickets in 40 overs. Looking at the playing situation of the Sri Lankan team, it seems that they will easily win against Bangladesh in today's match.
I hope it is not a win the toss and win the match scenario for the rest of the series because of dew.
Litton Das has destroyed the hope for Bangladesh in every match of this series. Bowlers are indeed facing some difficulties for the dew, but it is difficult to win the match if the opener can't score anything in a batting friendly pitch. The partnership between Hridoy and Taskin helped to give a bit challenging target, but Nissanka and Asalanka has made it a very simple target with their big partnership. Perhaps, there won't be much impact of dew in the test matches.Even if someone is bowling instead of Liton Das, I think he will do better than Das. Soumya Sarkar had a poor performance in the first match but set himself up in the second match but Liton Das has been playing consistently poorly so it looks like he should be kept out of the box for now and followed closely.
In today's second match of the ODI series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Bangladesh team batted first and set a target of 287 to the Sri Lankan team. Now the Sri Lankan team is batting in response to 287 runs in the second innings game. The Sri Lankan team has so far scored 186 runs for the loss of three wickets in 30.3 overs. Looking at the batting of the Sri Lankan team, it seems that it will not be too difficult for them to meet the target given by the Bangladesh team. The run rate of the Sri Lankan team is very good. If the Sri Lankan team can play the entire innings like this, then they can easily fulfill the target given by the Bangladesh team. Now let's see what happens at the end of the game.
Finally results has come out and once again Bangladesh lose, I taught they will continue thier winning journey abit long but unfortunately just after a single victory they lose his momentum and thus the series got tied by 1-1. Anyway Bangladesh scored a 287 target which is quite faire but in my mind they are 30 to 40 runs more shorter as I believe if they have 310 around Target they definitely things will be completely different because Bangladesh has bunch of quality bowler who can put opponent batter in huge trouble and even a single dot ball will execute pressure on Thier batting line-up.Well for that victory credit goes to sirilankan oppner nissanka who set momentum and scored a phenomenal century at such crutical time. Hope Bangladesh will comback stronger in last match and will get revenge of his previous series defeat

Bangladesh batting is on improved but still they needed some more aggressive approach because on this pitch they were short of the 30 to 35 runs which make difference, and they lost this match in reply Sri Lankan were also not good because their batsmen also lost their wickets but a big fourth wicket partnership was enough for them to have win in this game and bring themselves to the level after losing their first game by big margin.
Pathum Nissanka century inning was enough to bring his team in winning position but still their all top batsmen fail to give their best which is surely problem for them because their batting is not able to perform consistently they need some improvement which is important for the win against top teams.

We have seen some improvement in the overall performance of Bangladeshi batsmen. But as usual opener Liton's performance was poor today. But Soumyo, Shanto and Hridoy batted very well today. But today, although the top order played well, the performance of experienced middle order batsmen Mahmudullah, Mushfiq and Miraz was poor. Even then the Bangladesh team managed to deliver a big target.
Bangladesh would have been able to win today's match if the Bangladeshi bowlers had performed their duties properly. But the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers was poor. Honestly I missed Sakib in today's match. If Sakib was with the squad, maybe Bangladesh would not have lost this match.
Bangladesh have genuine problems. And I don't know if anyone saw the match or not but the two players that scored most of the runs for Sri Lanka were both dropped when they were at the early stages of their innings. One was dropped by Litton Das and the other by Miraz I am not wrong. And it seems like Litton has actually forgotten how to play. Probably he also needs to be rested like Mustafiz.
Bangladesh team played well in the first match due to which they won against Sri Lanka. However, in the second ODI match, Sri Lanka team batted very well due to which they succeeded in meeting the target of 286 runs, at this moment Sri Lanka team does not need much more runs to win. But in today's match, if the Bangladesh team can improve their bowling performance a little from the beginning, then maybe Sri Lanka could have put the team under pressure and it is possible for Bangladesh to win. But the Bangladesh team could not do a very good bowling performance in the beginning due to which the two batsmen of the Sri Lanka team formed a great partnership and scored a good score. However, the Bangladesh team put in a good bowling performance towards the end which put Sri Lanka under pressure and lost seven of their wickets. However, it was interesting to see the Sri Lankan team lose their seven wickets and win by three wickets at the moment.
Bangladesh team batted better today than the way they batted in the first match but the Bangladesh bowlers did not bowl well in today's match. You might say the opposite, the Bangladesh team bowlers were bowling very well at the beginning as a result of which they took Sri Lanka's first three wickets for 22 runs. But since then the bowlers of the Bangladesh team could not dominate the Sri Lankan batsmen like that. In today's match, all the bowlers of the Bangladesh team gave away too many runs per over, as a result of which they were defeated by Sri Lanka by three wickets in the second ODI match. Bangladesh's bowling line-up needs to improve a lot for the third ODI match.Pathum Nissanka century inning was enough to bring his team in winning position but still their all top batsmen fail to give their best which is surely problem for them because their batting is not able to perform consistently they need some improvement which is important for the win against top teams.

In today's match, all the bowlers of the Bangladesh team gave away too many runs per over, as a result of which they were defeated by Sri Lanka by three wickets in the second ODI match. Bangladesh's bowling line-up needs to improve a lot for the third ODI match. 
After Sri Lanka lost three batsmen for 43 runs I thought Bangladesh team will win today's match too. But with Pathum Nissanka and Asalanka's excellent batting, the match is now completely under Sri Lanka's control.
At the end of 41 overs, Sri Lanka collected 251 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka needs to collect only 36 runs from 54 balls to win. It is not a very difficult task. If the batsmen can stay at the crease, Sri Lanka will easily win today's match. Pathum Nissanka returned to the dressing room with 114 runs and Asalanka had 91 runs. Besides, no other Sri Lankan batsman can bat so well. These two batsmen changed the entire scenario of the match today.
We haven't seen better bowling from Taijul today. Taijul gave 32 runs in 4 overs, but could not take a single wicket. If Taijul could bowl well, maybe Bangladesh would have been able to win today's match. Taskin and Shariful are bowling very well today.
Sri Lanka were 3 for 43 and the forth wicket went down at 228. Pathum Nissanka scored 114 runs but Charith Asalanka was unlucky to miss century by just 9 runs. Sri Lanka at the moment in comfortable position as they need 31 more runs in 44 balls and still have 4 wickets in hand. With this win the series will be levelled and third ODI will decide fate of this series. Bangladesh team has given a decent target but there bowling is not much effective today.At the end of 41 overs, Sri Lanka collected 251 runs with the loss of 5 wickets.

In the end Sri Lanka won the match. Hasaranga's innings of 25 runs off 16 balls made it easy for Sri Lanka to win the match. Bangladesh lost today's match only because of their bad bowling. Although the performance of the batsmen was not very good, the Bangladesh team managed to set a target of 287 runs.
I was very annoyed by Taijul's bowling in today's match. If he bowls like this, he will not be able to stay with the Bangladesh squad for long. Taijul is basically a bowler, he can't even bat well. Taijul gave 43 runs today after bowling 5 overs. Fans certainly expect better performances from experienced bowlers like Taijul.
However, the series is now tied at 1-1. The last match will be held on March 18. The third ODI match will also be held in Chittagong. Same pitch. If Bangladesh wants to win, the batsmen must bat better. There is no alternative.
Haha after 92 overs, finally some spicy stuff. Please need more of this drama and ffs manufacture some fight. After all, match is on the line lol
For context, there was a potential collapse (between bowler Shoriful Islam and striker Wellalage) but sadly it was a poorly written script so no controversial runout. At least a few words were exchanged.

Bangladesh are playing cricket for quite a while now and there performance is still slightly better then an associate team. They are always ready to create drama, remember there legend Shakib getting Mathews out using timed out rule that was never used before. Sri Lanka have nothing much to worry about as this game is very much in there control, need 13 runs in 24 balls.
And it's 1-1 now, no relevance to this series because of the T-20 WC but at least it's alive and the setup is building up nicely for the next 3 matches. I hope it is not a win the toss and win the match scenario for the rest of the series because of dew.
