Sri Lanka narrowly beat Bangladesh by three runs in the opening T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
While SL dominated the majority of the game, Jaker Ali gave them a scare later on.
Fifties from Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama helped SL compile 206/3.
Bangladesh were restricted to 203/8 in reply as Mahmudullah and Ali’s efforts went in vain
