    0.1 gone first ball! Dream start for Nepal, and their fans are dancing in the aisles! Banged into the track first up, on middle and leg. Tanzid hares down the track, trying to smash it over mid wicket. The ball rushes onto him, though, and he is awfully late on the stroke. Splices it tamely back to Kami, and he makes no mistake. Bangladesh jolted early! 0/1
    4.3 goes straight up, and Litton falls too! Kami keeps badgering that hard length and reaps the rewards. This is on off and Litton thinks he can swipe it away. The ball, though, holds in the surface just enough to meddle with his timing. Skews it up and the keeper calls early to complete the catch. Kami is pumped; Bangladesh in a heap of trouble! 21/3
    1.3 does him all ends up! Tossed up beautifully on a fullish length just outside off. Shanto is beaten in the air completely and goes searching for it way in front of his pad. The ball drops on him and then continues with the arm. Shanto played for the turn too and left a gap between bat and pad. The ball burst through to strike timber, and Bangladesh are now two down! 7/2
    11.4 trapped in front, and Shakib bites the dust! Fizzed through on a back of a length on middle and leg. Pitches and spins away significantly, opening Shakib up on the back foot. He tries to prod at it but is beaten by the turn, getting rapped on the pads in front of middle stump. Shakib has taken this upstairs but not sure if he will find any joy. No bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up and....three reds, with the ball smashing into middle stump. Shakib has to go, and Bangladesh are reeling now! 61/6
    5.4 miscues the sweep now, and Nepal have another! Bangladesh are crumbling in Kingstown! This is fuller and perhaps a touch slower on off. Hridoy goes for the slog sweep, rather than the controlled sweep behind square. The slight lack of pace, plus the hold in the surface creates the miscue and Lamichhane, circling under it at short fine leg, makes no mistake. Nepal are enjoying themselves, Bangladesh, not quite! 30/4
    8.6 oh dear, disastrous running between the wickets! Low full toss on middle and off. Shakib pushes it towards extra cover and sets off for the single. He then realises Jha is very close to the ball and sends Mahmudullah back, selling him down the river in the process. Mahmudullah cannot get back in time and the bowler does the rest, whipping off the bails at the non-striker's end. A hand-on-head moment for Shakib and this is just what Bangladesh did not need at this stage! 52/5
    15.3 knocks him over with the wrong'un now! 100 T20I wickets for Lamichhane, and Bangladesh sink further! Googly on a back of a length on off. Jaker, like the previous ball, does not pick it and tries to play it off the pitch. The ball, though, whizzes off the surface and spins back in, cutting Jaker in half. Pin-balls off his thigh pad into the stumps, and Nepal are just two wickets away from bowling Bangladesh out! 75/8
    13.2 no need for DRS this time! This is beautiful, beautiful bowling! Superbly-disguised googly on a full length just outside off. Drops on Tanzim devilishly and he has no clue this is the wrong'un. Plays for the turn and plays down the wrong line eventually. Ball sneaks past his inside edge and thuds into the stumps. Bangladesh are seven down now, and those associated with Nepal (fans and players) are having a splash (literally in some cases too)! 69/7
    17.1 straight to long off! Darted in full outside off, and Rishad's eyes light up. He tries to pound it over long off but cannot get under it enough. Picks out the sweeper to perfection, and Nepal are elated. Rishad departs for 13, and Bangladesh are staring down the barrel! 88/9

    19.3 a run out to end the innings, and that sums it all up for Bangladesh! In the slot outside off. Mustafizur sits deep in his crease and drills it straight to extra cover. Taskin calls him through for a non-existent single. Paudel fields it cleanly and then relays it to the bowler, who collects and throws it into the stumps at the bowler's end. Bangladesh bundled out for 106! 106/10

    2.2 cleans him up with a full toss! Full toss that starts on off stump and curves away. Bhurtel looks to drive but is beaten by the late movement away from him. Connects with fresh air and the ball kisses the outside of off stump. Bhurtel cannot believe he has missed it, but that is the early breakthrough Bangladesh would have been after! 9/1
    5.4 taken on the second attempt! Mustafizur in on the wicket-taking act, and Nepal are going down like dominoes! Full outside off and Aasif goes after it. Gets a decent piece of it but cannot keep it down, perhaps because he is not to the pitch of it. Smashes it straight to Shakib, who cannot snaffle it on the first go but does enough on the second try. Bangladesh are favourites now! 24/4
    2.4 goes straight up, and Tanzim has two in the over! Fullish on off and Sah, perhaps rattled by the previous ball, tries to smack this into next week. Clinks it straight up off the toe-end and Shanto does the rest, stationed at mid off. Tanzim is jubilant; Nepal are stunned! 9/2
    4.2 Tanzim gets Paudel, and the Nepal skipper is livid with himself! Short, wide and there to be hit. Paudel gives it the lot and laces it. The only problem, though, is that he hits it straight to Rishad at backward point, and Nepal are now three down inside the powerplay! 20/3
    6.6 four for Tanzim, and he has caused mayhem tonight! Short and wide outside off, very similar to the ball that got Paudel. Jora tries to keep it down but is unable to do so. Hits it straight to Rishad, who makes no mistake. Tanzim is delighted, and why shouldn't he be. He has turned this game Bangladesh's way, almost single-handedly! 26/5
    16.4 goes straight up, and Shanto holds on! Excellently-disguised cutter on a back of a length just outside off. Malla looks to go downtown but the lack of pace does for him. Shanks it and Shanto, running back from mid off, gobbles up a smart chance in front of his face. This is a massive moment in the game! 78/6
    18.6 looks for the single, and nicks it through to Litton! A wicket-maiden. In the 19th over, and that could be that for Nepal! Sublime cutter on a length outside off. Airee has only one thing on his mind and that is a single. Tries to help it past the keeper but ends up giving Litton some catching practice. Bangladesh almost there! 85/8
    17.5 tame dismissal, and there will be no redemption for Jha tonight! Hard length, slanted across the batter outside off. Jha has a massive swipe across the line but the ball gets onto him much quicker than he expects. Spoons it up off the splice and Hridoy, stationed very close at extra cover, does the rest! 85/7
    19.1 stumped by a country mile! Tossed up deliciously on a length on off. Kami hares down the track, aiming for the moon. Loses all shape and makes no sort of contact. Litton collects cleanly and then effects the stumping, with Kami well out of his crease. Nepal falling like a pack of cards now! 85/9

    19.2 there it is! Bangladesh march into the Super Eight, and they get to right where they want to be! A momentous day for Bangladesh, and it has come courtesy a classy bowling display in Kingstown! Back of a length on middle and leg. Skids on with the arm and traps Bohara on the thigh. He had walked across to work it to leg, and the umpire feels that is enough to give him out. Bohara has reviewed but this could be more in hope than anticipation. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball crushing leg stump! 85/10
