Watch Sri Lanka Cricket Vs. Bangladesh Live Stream: 3rd ODI, Start Time, Preview


The Bangladesh national cricket team can wrap up their first trophy since September of last year in a match that will stream live against Sri Lanka in the third and final One Day International of their ODI series in Colombo on Saturday. The last time the Tigers secured a series victory in any format came against Afghanistan, but the last time they defeated one of the Test-playing nations came in a whitewash of Zimbabwe in November of 2015.

But a win on Saturday would give Bangladesh a 2-0 series clincher after the second ODI of the set was washed out before a ball was bowled in the second innings, causing a no-result in that game. In fact, Bangladesh may have dodged a bullet, because Sri Lanka posted an imposing 311 in the first innings, behind a maiden ODI ton from Kusal Mendis.

No national cricket team had ever recovered to chase down a 300-plus ODI total in Sri Lanka. Now Sri Lanka must pull out a win in Saturday to work a draw in the ODI series.

Though Sri Lanka posted what appeared to be an insurmountable total in their second ODI innings, Bangladesh ended with momentum on their side as pacer Taskin Ahmed claimed a hat-trick in the final over and four wickets in total, as the Tigers bowled out their hosts.
