Dhaka, July 16 -- Sri Lanka have won the toss and opted to bat first in the final of the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh on Wednesday.

However, they failed to lay a good foundation as they lost two wickets quickly.

In the first over, Shoriful Islam sent back Kusal Mendis for six. Kusal tried to play to the square leg boundary, but was caught at the deep square leg by Towhid Hridoy.

In the next over, Mahedi Hasan trapped Kusal Perera for a duck. Perera tried to push the ball away from his body, but only managed a thick edge to the slip fielder Tanzid Hasan.

Bangladesh lost the first match of the series, but bounced back in the second, making the third T20I a final.
