0.5: N Pradeep to T Iqbal, Clips a full ball off his pads but finds the mid-wicket fielder.

0.4: N Pradeep to T Iqbal, FOUR! Lovely shot! Pradeep keeps his line straight and drops it on a length, Tamim unfurls a beautiful straight drive past the bowler. The mid on fielder has no chance.

0.3: N Pradeep to T Iqbal, Slowness off the pitch is quite evident on this delivery. It's on a length outside off, Tamim is a bit early into the shot as he tries to punch it through covers. Gets a bottom edge as it rolls to mid-wicket.

0.2: N Pradeep to T Iqbal, FOUR! This time he goes the aerial route. Latches onto a fuller length ball outside off and slices it over backward point. Not from the middle of the bat but it still races through to the fence.

Back for the chase! Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das are the openers for Bangladesh. 160 in 120 legal balls, that's the target to reach the final. Nuwan Pradeep to begin proceedings. Here we go...

Great recovery from the hosts. After a very good start by Bangladesh they have just not put the right finishing touches. They dominated in the Powerplay picking up 4 wickets for just 35 runs. The Pereras then made sure Sri Lanka get past the 150-mark. Thisara and Kusal both got to their fifties to give their bowlers something to bowl at. Mehidy Hasan bowled well to give just 16 of his 4 overs and take a wicket. Strangely, Shakib bowled just the two overs and Nazmul Islam didn't even get the ball. Not the biggest of targets. If the visitors get off to a good start they can easily pull this off. Let's see how they go about it. Second innings in a while.

19.6: R Hossain to I Udana, Good comeback from Rubel after going for a boundary in the first over. Gets the yorker right, Udana plays it towards mid off and manages just a single. SRI LANKA END WITH 159/7 in their 20 overs.

Isuru Udana is the new man in.

18.2: S Sarkar to K Perera, OUT! Finally a wicket for Bangladesh! The partnership is broken but has the damage been done? A change of bowling has done the trick.
