Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s career-best half-century backed Bangladesh’s eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka to clinch their three-match T20 series 2-1 on Wednesday.
Sri Lanka won the first game by seven wickets and Bangladesh came back with a massive 83-run win to level the series.
Sri Lanka scored a mediocre 132-7 in their 20 overs after Captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat first.
Bangladesh replied with 133-2 with 21 deliveries to spare.
Bangladesh lost their first wicket in the first ball of their innings when Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara trapped Parvez Hossain Emon LBW.
Tamim and Towhid Hridoy joined in an unbroken 59-run stand and saw their team through to victory.
Tamim finished with 73 not out to beat his previous best T20 international score of 67 made against Zimbabwe last year.
He hit six sixes and a boundary during his 47-ball innings.
