Lasith Malinga took his first hat-trick in a Twenty20 international during the penultimate over of Bangladesh’s innings but dismal batting led to Sri Lanka losing the match by 45 runs.
Result ensured the two-match series with a draw. Lasith Malinga was named man of the series.
Mustafizur Rahman claimed 4-21 while man of the match Shakib Al Hasan bagged 3-24 as Bangladesh dismissed Sri Lanka for 131 runs in 18 overs after scoring 176-9 at R. Premadasa Stadium.
Chamara Kapugedara struck highest 50 runs for Sri Lanka, facing 35 balls.
Shakib made highest 38 runs for Bangladesh while openers Imrul Kayes and Soumya Sarkar chipped in with 36 and 34 runs respectively.
Malinga dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim, Mashrafe Mortaza and Mehedi Hasan to complete his fourth hat-trick in international cricket and become the fifth player in history to achieve the feat in a Twenty20 international.
The 33-year-old joins Sri Lanka team mate Thisara Perera, New Zealand paceman Tim Southee and retired fast bowlers Brett Lee( Australia) and Jacob Oram (New Zealand) on the elite list.
Malinga’s hat-trick is the second of the tour after Bangladesh paceman Taskin Ahmed claimed a hat-trick in the second ODI in Dambulla last month.
