Tigers’ smiles shine bright as Bangladesh clinched their first-ever T20I series win in Sri Lanka.
This was Bangladesh’s first-ever series win over Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka in any format. It was also their maiden T20I series win over the hosts.
Rangpur -- winners of their first two matches -- remained unbeaten, while Dubai bowed out of the tournament with a third consecutive defeat.
All-rounder Russell, who won the T20 World Cup in 2012 and 2016, has earned 84 international caps in the format, scoring three fifties and taking 61 wickets.
A key decision that raised eyebrows was the removal of voting rights for former first-class players.
Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das dedicated their T20I series triumph over Sri Lanka to the martyrs of the July movement last year.
“Shane Warne is the best. He is the best,” Lara said.
Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) cricket operations chairman Najmul Abedeen Fahim said that the team will be looking for more stability in the squad ahead of the Asia Cup in September in India and through to the T20 World Cup in February next year, slated to be played in India and Sri Lanka.

All of Bangladesh's plans materialised in a spirit-lifting performance to seize the third and final T20I by eight wickets at the R Premadasa Stadium yesterday, a win which saw them claim a historic maiden T20I series win against the Lankans.
Bangladesh captain Litton Das feels the T20I series win over Sri Lanka is a “big achievement” for Bangladesh cricket and lauded his team for showing “character” in the series-clinching eight-wicket win in the third T20I in Colombo on Wednesday.
