END OF OVER:
20 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | SL: 159/7 | RR: 7.95

  • Isuru Udana7 (4b)

  • Rubel Hossain4-0-41-1
  • Soumya Sarkar2-0-21-1

8.40pm Sri Lanka finish with 159, a score they will be very very happy with after slumping to 41 for 5. They were led by fifties from Kusal Perera and Thisara Perera, well-compiled, counter-attacking, composed fifties. It seems like a slower pitch than usual, the ball is gripping a touch, but Bangladesh bat very deep, especially with the return of Shakib. So we're set for a fine finish to the group stages. Join us soon.

Rubel Hossain to NLTC Perera, FOUR, that will help. Full and wide, Thisara slices the ball off the outside half. He gets so much power behind the ball that it still races away for four.

Rubel will end. 160?

W
Soumya Sarkar to MDKJ Perera, OUT, caught on the deep midwicket boundary. Full, quick and accurate down leg. Kusal struggles to time his flick, the ball takes the leading edge and travels all the way to Mehidy. Sensational counter-attacking innings from Kusal, bided his time early and then launched.

Soumya to bowl the 19th. Weird. Even if there are two left-handers.

Rubel Hossain to NLTC Perera, FOUR, smashed for four. Full outside off, Thisara clears his front leg and drills a drive over the bowler. His power does the rest.

Saurabh: "This is too conventional thinking by Shakib! Two left handers and not bowling himself and other full time bowler. This has coated BD with no proper bowler left to bowl in the death overs. This is T20 and you can't be so much conventional!"

Shafeen Shareef: "The momentum is shifting away from Bangladesh"

Rubel Hossain to MDKJ Perera, 1 run, a wide yorker outside off, guided off the open face to short third man for one.

Hemant Noval: "I dont understand why captains are so adamant about not giving bowlers the ball who bring ball into the batsman ! If the bowler bowls well, there are good chances of a wicket plus there is always the straighter one"

Mustafizur Rahman to NLTC Perera, SIX, shot of the tournament. A slower delivery outside off, Thisara stays in his crease, reads the length and just lofts a drive, but ensures he extends that drive. Way over long-off. Sensational batting from This P.
