Third T20: history is once again on the horizon for Bangladesh

Bangladesh has not yet been able to set a record of winning a Test or T20 series against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh has only won two series in ODI cricket. The red-green jersey holders are currently playing a full series of three formats of cricket on their tour of Sri Lanka, but they have not been able to show a winning record in any of them. Sri Lanka started off successfully with a two-match Test series about a month ago. The first match of the Test series was a draw, and there was a great chance of winning the series. But Bangladesh lost the series due to a batting failure in the second Test. As a result, they remained elusive after playing 13 Test series against Sri Lanka. What happened next in the ODI series? Similarly, the possibility arose, and in the end it disappeared in an instant. After losing the first match, Bangladesh won the second by 16 runs to level the series 1-1. But the batting failure in the last ODI of the series led to the same defeat again. That is why Bangladesh did not win an ODI series on Sri Lankan soil for the first time. This time, Bangladesh is once again facing history in the T20 series. If they can win the third and final T20 match of the series today, Bangladesh will win the T20 series against Sri Lanka for the first time. Despite raising hopes in Tests and ODIs, the series has not been won. Whether it will happen in the T20s this time or not, remains to be seen.

So far, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have played four bilateral T20 series against each other. Out of these, the Sri Lankans have won the series three times. Once, the two-match series was drawn 1-1. Now, another series is about to be settled. Whether this series will go in Sri Lanka's favor or will be a new name in Bangladesh's achievements will be seen in the field. However, Liton and Shamim will take to the field with the aim of winning the last T20 match of the Sri Lanka tour that Bangladesh will play today. Shamim Patwary batted positively in the mood of T20 cricket in the last match. Liton Kumar Das, the captain of the T20 team, who has been out of form for a long time, also played an innings of 76 runs. The bowling was also expected.

Overall, the 83-run win in the last match has given Bangladesh extra confidence. And the Litons want to use this to move towards winning the series. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will also want to keep the T20 series trophy at home after winning the Test and ODI series. The Sri Lankans will fight with maximum effort in the last match of the series - this attitude can be seen on the field. As a result, the third and last T20 match of the series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which will decide the series, has turned into an unwritten final. Who will have the last laugh in this final, will be seen today. The match will start at 7 pm Bangladesh time.
