Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto invited Sri Lanka to bat first after winning the toss in the series deciding third and final T20 today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. 

The series is locked at 1-1, leaving this game a decider one.

Sri Lanka edged Bangladesh past by three wickets after a thrilling contest in the first match but the hosts leveled the series with an eight-wicket win in the second game. 

Bangladesh, however, remained unchanged for its quest to win their first bilateral T20 series against Sri Lanka. 

Sri Lanka made three changes with regular captain Wanindu Hasaranga coming back to the fold after two-match suspension. 

They also included allrounder Dhananjaya de Silva and pacer Nuwan Thushara, replacing Avishka Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka. 

Pacer Matheesha Pathirana who got injured in the last game was sidelined for the third game.

Bangladeshi wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is set to feature for Fortune Barishal in the forthcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Mushfiqur had played for Sylhet Strikers in the last edition. His price was fixed at 80 lakhs in the players' draft according to the category. Which means he was in 'A' category.

The top category player will play along with other star players like Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Khaled Ahmed in Fortune Barishal.

Neymar said he was relishing “new challenges and opportunities in new places” after he joined Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal Tuesday, becoming the latest big name lured to the oil-rich Gulf state.

The Brazil forward, 31, ends a six-year stay in the French capital and follows in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane in swapping Europe for the Middle East.

“I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places,” Neymar said in a statement from the Saudi Pro League.

“I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment,” he added.

Neymar was “in negotiations” on Sunday to become the latest football superstar to decamp for Saudi Arabia, leaving Paris Saint-Germain just as Kylian Mbappe was brought back in from the cold by the French champions.

A source close to PSG told AFP that 31-year-old Neymar “no longer figures in the club or manager’s plans” with the Brazilian immediately linked to Al-Hilal in the Gulf kingdom.

Another source in Saudi Arabia said that “direct negotiations” between Neymar’s agents and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) were ongoing.
