Bangladesh struck early when Mustafizur Rahman rejected Kusal Mendis in the second, but the breakthrough did not do much to slow down the scoring.Mishara, who survived a difficult chance offered on one, then punished Shoriful Islam by breaking 18 points in one, including two limits and six. Nissanka, on the other hand, crossed the milestone of 2,000 points in the T20 internationals during her sleeves, marked by six four and six. The Sri Lanka briefly oscillated after Nissanka and Kusal Perera quickly fell in succession to Mahedi Hasan, going from 108/1 to 126/4.

The damage was inflicted by the Couturiers of Sri Lanka, with Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera striking in consecutive counters at the start.
