    43.4 flatter delivery on the pads, the batsman flicks it to short fine leg and the batsmen call for a single, but the throw comes in nice and flat and Tamim is struggling at the striker's end. He is short by a mile. That is the end of a very good innings by Tamim. 204/5
    7.4 oh no! He stays on the back foot to a length delivery and pays the price as the ball comes in a touch, but more importantly, stays low. It takes the inside edge and splays the stumps 44/1
    10.1 brilliantly caught at mid-off! It was a length delivery on off stump and Ashraful tries to drive it on the up, but the ball stopped on him a bit and he ended up chipping it towards mid-off where Kushal Perera runs and dives forward to scoop it just before it hits the turf. Very well taken, the umpires check if the catch was clean, and clean it is. 57/2
    12.5 why play a shot like that! Angelo bowls a full length delivery honing in on the middle stump, and Mush goes for a heave and misses it. He was defending solidly and that shot was completely uncalled for as the run-rate has been good. Hits him right in front and an easy decision for the umpire 63/3
    28.5 edged and gone! It's a length delivery just outside off, nothing much in it and the batsman pushes at it without getting anywhere close to the line, simple edge to the keeper 129/4

    43.5 sad end for the debutant as he is unable to get bat on the ball. It was a quicker one on the off stump, the batsman played for the turn off the back foot and played inside the line, then he hears the painful music of leather beating wood. Unlucky for the newbie 204/6
    44.6 caught at point! short delivery outside off, Gazi goes for a cut but the ball gets too big on him, he ends up just fending it to Dilshan at point 211/7
    48.1 finally Malinga gets his yorker on target and it hits the base of off stump, no chance for the batsman. 244/8

Match Notes

Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2012-13 News

  • Not perfect, but a step ahead for young Sri Lanka

    Usually, anything less than a clean sweep against Bangladesh would have invited criticism, but not when Sri Lanka are trying out their next generation

  • A timely boost for Bangladesh

    The performance in Sri Lanka is a significant stepping stone for Bangladesh and its impact should be felt in the near future

  • Mushfiqur blames seamers for defeat

    After conceding the high-scoring one-off Twenty20 in Pallekele, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim criticised his bowlers' work ethic, and said it was time the country takes a proper look at the state of fast bowling

  • Kusal Perera sets up Sri Lanka's win

    A marauding Kusal Perera set the platform for Sri Lanka's 198 for 5, which proved 17 runs too many for the valiant Bangladesh batsmen, in the one-off Twenty20 in Pallekele

  • Time for the old Ashraful

    Mohammad Ashraful has shown a new solidity to his batting on this tour, but the one-off T20I is an ideal time for him to utilise his old strengths and range of strokeplay
