Imrul Kayes once again proved valuable for the hosts as he started from where he left in the second ODI and went onto score 90 off 111 deliveries which included 7 fours.
He was involved in a magnificent stand of 148 runs with Liton Das (83 off 77 deliveries 14 fours and a six) for the opening wicket which helped their course of chasing 246 runs in 44.1 overs with 7 wickets in the hand.
