Rishad tornado powers tigers to win ODI series
Sports Desk
Tail-ender Rishad Hossain played a tornado innings at the end to power Bangladesh to a series-clinching four-wicket win in the third ODI against Sri Lanka at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Monday.
Under tremendous pressure, Rishad hit a blistering 48 off 18 balls while Mushfiqur Rahim scored 37 off 36 balls to power Bangladesh to a series-clinching win.
Mushfiqur Rahim hit the winning boundary while Rishad Hossain crashed Lankan bowlers by hitting rain of sixes on the other end.
The match was seemingly going down the wire when Mehedi Hasan Miraz got dismissed in the 37th over. But Rishad dispelled any fears with an innings that had five fours and four sixes, all against Wanindu Hasaranga, to ensure Bangladesh finished the game with 58 balls spare.
