Sri Lanka ꦗput on a clinical show with both bat and ball to register a 122-run win in the third and final ODI of the series and complete a clean sweep over Bangladesh in Colombo on Wednesday.
Former skipper Angelo Mathews scored 87 runs off 90 balls, guidingꦍ the side to 294-8 before Dasun Shanaka backed his 30 off 14 with three wickets for 27 ru﷽ns to complete the route.
Soumya Sarkar hit thﷺe only half-century for Bangladesh, 69 off 86 balls, but it gaveꦡ no trouble to the hosts as the visitors were bundled out for a mere 172.
Kasun 💧Rajitha (2-17) andౠ Lahiru Kumara (2-26) supported Shanaka with the ball to complete the victory in 36 overs.

Tough time a🔯head for Shakib Al Hasan when he becomes the captain after Mashrafe’s retirement. Not easy for one Tiger to lead a bunch of donkeys.
