- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 And Hasaranga, as he so often does, strikes in his first over! This was a tossed up googly on a length, and Miraz goes across the line with the sweep. He gets nowhere near it though, and he hears that dreaded death rattle as the middle and leg is disturbed. 58/22.5 Edged and taken! The peppering of short stuff gets the desired result! Sabbir goes for another pull, and he's once more late on the stroke. But this time he can only get a thick edge through to the keeper. 19/110.3 Cleans him with a ripper! Flights this one ever so slightly, Shakib as he has done all innings, gives himself room looking to loft over covers. Theekshana though keeps it wicket to wicket as the ball turns just that bit and beats Shakib all ends up. The middle stump takes a beating. Was the conventional off-break from Theekshana and had Shakib deceived. The batter is livid with himself as he walks off. 87/47.6 Edged and gone! Back of a length and jagging away having pitched on middle, it has Mushfiqur defending on the back foot as the ball takes a healthy nick through to Mendis behind the stumps. 63/316.4 Picks out the fielder to precision! Slower length ball on middle stump, Afif was looking to go much straighter but loses shape and ends up dragging it to cow corner where Hasaranga pouches a simple catch. 144/517.1 Hasaranga returns and gets the big fish! Flighted gently on off, was the leg-spinner. Mahmudullah was looking for the slog sweep, but looks like was deceived by the slowness and was into his shot a bit early. Ends up getting a top edge with Chamika Karunaratne at deep midwicket taking a simple catch. 147/618.1
Slower length ball on middle and leg, he looks to work it to the on-side, misses and is caught plumb in front of the wicket. He reviews, but I am guessing more in hope. Yep, the ball-tracker confirms that would have smashed into leg stump. 159/7 Extras10 (b 4, lb 6)TOTAL183/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Sabbir Rahman, 2.5 ov), 2-58 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 6.5 ov), 3-63 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 7.6 ov), 4-87 (Shakib Al Hasan, 10.3 ov), 5-144 (Afif Hossain, 16.4 ov), 6-147 (Mahmudullah, 17.1 ov), 7-159 (Mahedi Hasan, 18.1 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB D Madushanka 4 0 26 1 6.50 11 3 0 0 0 M Theekshana 4 0 23 1 5.75 10 1 1 0 0 AM Fernando 4 0 51 1 12.75 6 4 3 0 0 PW Hasaranga 4 0 41 2 10.25 8 4 2 0 0 C Karunaratne 4 0 32 2 8.00 6 3 0 0 0

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Soft dismissal! This was short and Nissanka goes for the pull, but it's on him too quickly. Only manages a gentle top edge to midwicket. 45/114.3 Mendis is finally dismissed! Doesn't get a sixth life. Great captaincy by Shakib to keep the third man back and the trump card strikes. Banged in short outside off, was the slower off-cutter. Mendis ramps it but does not get all of it and Taskin running in from third man, takes it low, diving forward. 131/55.6 And Ebadot gets another! This was short of a length outside off, and Asalanka comes down the track and looks to swat this over mid-off, but he can only loop a dolly to the man stationed there. 48/27.4 Cracking catch! This was short and Gunathilaka gets a top edge on the pull, that goes hiiigh...Taskin runs in about 20 metres from fine leg and dives forward to hold on to an impressive take. He is absolutely beside himself, as he should be! 67/38.5 Short and he ramps this straight down third man's throat! Perfect field placement as third man was extremely fine, waiting for that exact stroke. 77/417.5 Down the ground and Mosaddek takes the catch! Is this the game? Was in the slot on middle, Shanaka gets a good piece of it but not enough and long on takes a simple catch. he was looking to hit it hard but failed to clear the ropes. 158/715.3 Another one bites the dust and Sri Lanka are falling quickly. Back of a length on off, Hasaranga gives himself room and looks to flay it away over covers, but the bat turns in his hands and he can only hit it as far as deep cover. Comfortable catch. 139/618.5 Shakib, you beauty! Karunaratne is run out and with that Bangladesh's chances go up by quite a notch. Short of a length on off, he gets a leading edge to Shakib at short cover. They run, for some reason. Shakib waits for it and hits the stumps to find Karunaratne way short. 171/8Extras17 (lb 5, nb 4, w 8)TOTAL184/8 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.51)Did not bat: D MadushankaFall of wickets: 1-45 (Pathum Nissanka, 5.3 ov), 2-48 (Charith Asalanka, 5.6 ov), 3-67 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 7.4 ov), 4-77 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 8.5 ov), 5-131 (Kusal Mendis, 14.3 ov), 6-139 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 15.3 ov), 7-158 (Dasun Shanaka, 17.5 ov), 8-171 (Chamika Karunaratne, 18.5 ov)
