Sri Lanka lose their third batsmen as Kusal Perera is caught by Mustafizur Rahman off Soumya Sarkar.
Before that, Perera scored 111, his fifth ODI, to give Sri Lanka a firm position against Bangladesh in Colombo on Friday (Jul 26).
Perera's 99-ball knock was built with 17 fours and a six after he shared a 97-run stand with captain Dimuth Karunaratne and 100-run partnerships with Kusal Mendis in the second and third wickets respectively.
Bangladesh, under a stand-in captain Tamil Iqbal, made four changes from their last World Cup fixture as they are without regular captain Mashrafe Mortaza (hamstring injury), top performer Shakib Al Hasan (rested), Liton Das (wedding) and Mohammad Saifuddin (back injury).
In came Mohammad Mithun, Sabbir Rahman, Rubel Hossain and Shafiul Islam, who is playing his first ODI since October 2016.
Sri Lanka would want to give Lasith Malinga a winning farewell in his final ODI.
Sri Lanka made two changes from their XI that played their final league fixture at the World Cup, against India. The fast bowling pair of Nuwan Pradeep and Lahiru Kumara replaced Isuru Udana and Kasun Rajitha.
