Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 28 runs in the third T20I of the three-match series on Saturday (March 9) to bag the bilateral arrangement 2-1. While Bangladesh did have their moments in the game, eventually it was Sri Lanka who emerged victorious. Among the highlights of the match was Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das' exceptional bit of glovework to affect a run out. 

The incident happened on the final ball of the Sri Lanka innings when Dasun Shanaka tried to play an aerial stroke off Mustafizur Rahman. However, the batter did not get the desired connection on that ball and the ball went towards the long-on fielder. Given that it was the last ball, both the batters Shanaka as well as Sadeera Samarawickrama at the other end ran with all their might as Rishad Hossain, who was the fielder station in that region, threw the ball towards the striker's end.

Although it wasn't the most accurate of throws from the fielder, Das collected the ball from wide of the stumps and without looking flicked it towards the wickets, hitting the bull's-eye and catching Shanaka short of his crease. The video of his no-look run-out has gone viral on social media.
