Pitch Report

This is pitch no. 3 on which UAE took on Pakistan. It looks a little on the dryer side. So, the spinners will come into play. But one boundary is only 64m, so that is something to take into consideration both teams. But, batting first up, especially in the power play, won't be all that straightforward.

Commentary

What a day of cricket it has been! A proper thriller that went right down to the wire, but in the end, it was Bangladesh who sealed a massive victory. That's all from us today. Join us tomorrow for the biggest clash of them all, as India takes on Pakistan. Until then, this is Meeth Agrawal and Bidipto Datta signing off. Good night!

Litton Das (Bangladesh captain): "Before Asia Cup, we played a couple of series and batted really well! So, we came here well prepared. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed kept the runs in check in the last two overs of our bowling innings. I know that Saif Hassan can win us games here in the UAE. Whenever you chase down a target like this, you feel pumped up. But, we have to come back again and play better on a new day against a new team."

Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka Captain): It was a terrific game and we had them till the end. We could have done well with the bat and were 10-15 runs short. Dasun Shanaka batted really well and did a really good job. We were really happy after the first innings as that last ball six helped us reach 170, which was the total we really wanted.

Saif Hassan (Player of the Match, 61 runs off 45 balls): "I think that the wicket was very good. I tried to time the ball and hold my shape. Also, Litton da supported me really well! I backed my process, the preparation was good and we planned well too. We had a plan against Nuwan Thushara and as right-handed batters, looked to take him down straight."

The Super Sixes of the Match award goes to Dasun Shanaka for his 6 sixes!

The Gamechanger of the Match award winner is Towhid Hridoy!

10:20 PM local time, 11:50 PM IST: After such an absorbing match, it is time to hear from the Player of the Match and the captains!

10:10 PM Local Time, 11:40 PM IST: BANGLADESH WIN BY 4 WICKETS WITH JUST 1 BALL TO SPARE!

Saif Hassan - 61 (45) | Mustafizur - 3/20
Dasun Shanaka - 64* (37) & 2/21 | Wanindu Hasaranga - 2/22

WHAT A THRILLER! In a match that went right down to the wire, it's Bangladesh who have prevailed, sealing an incredible victory with just a single ball to spare. Unarguably the best match of this Asia Cup, and what a way to kick off the Super 4s.

The chase was an absolute rollercoaster! After losing Tanzid Hasan in the very first over, Bangladesh simply did not panic. Instead, Saif Hassan came out with a clear plan, launching a counter-attack. He anchored the innings with a brilliant knock, and after his departure, it was Towhid Hridoy who took up the mantle and continued the charge. They looked in complete control and had the game in their hands, but then came the final over. It took every ounce of nerve to get those last few runs, and they almost made a complete mess of it! But somehow, they held their nerves in the end and pulled off the most magnificent victory.

But to truly understand the drama, you have to look at how the first innings unfolded. Sri Lanka started on fire, with openers Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka putting on a batting clinic in the powerplay. They were flying. Then, out of nowhere, Mahedi Hasan led a comeback, picking up crucial wickets and putting Sri Lanka in deep trouble. It looked like a collapse was coming, but then you saw the brilliance of Dasun Shanaka. That man played a blistering, out of this world knock to take his team to a fighting total, and for a long time, it looked like his knock would be the difference. Mustafizur's 3-fer made sure that Shanaka's knock didn't hurt Bangladesh much.

In the end, even a knock as brilliant as that wasn't enough to secure the win. Bangladesh have their revenge, and they have now set the tone for the rest of the Super 4s.

19.5 Dasun Shanaka to Nasum Ahmed, OHHH! NEEDED A DIRECT HIT BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE! BANGLADESH WIN! Back of a length around off-stump from round the wicket. Patted away off the back foot to short third man. Shamim called Nasum through and ran like a hare. Nasum responded. But the danger end was the striker's end! The fielder took aim. shied at the stumps and missed! Had he hit, Shamim would be out, but he didn't and that sealed the deal! Bangladesh almost made a mess of something that should not have gone this deep, but, a win is a win and it's a good way for them to begin the Super Fours.

1 required off 2 balls.

ANOTHER DOT!!! DON'T GO ANYWHERE! WE ARE IN FOR A THRILLER! SRI LANKA HAVE REVIEWED IT FOR CAUGHT BEHIND! MAHEDI HASAN IS ALREADY WALKING OFF AND THE ULTRAEDGE CONFIRMS A CLEAR SPIKE TOO! OUT!!!

19.4 Dasun Shanaka to Mahedi Hasan, CAUGHT BEHIND HERE? REVIEWED BY SRI LANKA. Short around off-stump on the angle across. Mahedi went for a big shot across the line on the back foot and missed it. Kusal Mendis took it and began to celebrate. Yes, there is a clear spike when ball passes bat! So, the on-field call is overturned. Mahedi goes and there is still something left in the game.

DOT! ARE WE GOING TO SEE A SUPER OVER?

19.3 Dasun Shanaka to Mahedi Hasan, full outside off-stump from round the wicket. Driven firmly to the man at mid-off for no run.

Jaker Ali wanted to be a hero and finish it off but has been cleaned up.

19.2 Dasun Shanaka to Jaker Ali Anik, round the wicket, KNOCKED HIM OVER! Full and slow on middle-and-off. A big hoick across the line but Jaker played all around this time! He missed it and the ball went on to hit off-stump!
