Shakib dazzles as Sri Lanka implode

Bangladesh star Shakib-al-Hasan put in a great allround performance against Sri Lanka in match three of the triangular ODI series.
Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and elected to bat first with Tamim Iqbal getting Bangladesh off to a flying start.
Tamim shared a 71 run stand for the first wicket with Anumal Haque (35) before bing joined in the middle by Shakib.
The pair would put the Tigers well on top with a 99 run stand off 86 balls until Akila Dananjaya broke through with the help of DRS getting Tamim caught behind.
A 57 run stand between Shakib (67) and Mushfiqur Rahim (62) ensured that Bangladesh remained in the ascendency though and Mahmudullah Riyaz (24) and Sabbir Rahman (24) would chip in to help Bangladesh to an imposing 320/7 in their 50 overs.
