Chitttagong - Bangladesh stand-in captain Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and sent Sri Lanka in to bat in a Twenty20 international in Chittagong on Wednesday.
Mortaza led the hosts after Mushfiqur Rahim was rested due to a hairline fracture in the left hand and Tamim Iqbal stepped down as vice-captain to concentrate on his batting.
Sri Lanka were without frontline batsman Mahela Jayawardene, who will miss the entire limited-overs series of two Twenty20 games and three one-day internationals due to a hand injury.
Sri Lanka won the preceding two-Test series 1-0.
