In Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium, the Bangladesh spinner Mahedi Hasan rattled the Sri Lanka batters in the third ODI, thus breaking the 13-year-old record of India's veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh. Hasan took 4 wickets and thus entered the elite list, having the best bowling figure for a visiting bowler in the T20Is. Coming to bowl first, Bangladesh bowlers took 7 wickets, restricting Sri Lanka at 132. Prathum Nissanka, the opener for the hosts, has the highest score for his team, 46, and became the fourth and final prey of Hasan. Before that, he bagged Kushal Mendis (6), Kusal Perera (0), and Dinesh Chandimal (4). Hasan finished with four wickets, 1 maiden, and 11 runs from four overs. With the four-fer, Hasan registered the bowling figure of 4-1-11-4 which outperformed Harbhajan Singh previous record of 4-2-12-4. Bhajji registered the figure in a match against England in the 2012 Men's T20 World Cup. Notably, Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga holds the overall best record in the same field in 2021 against India (4-0-9-4).
