Sri Lanka (184/8) defeat Bangladesh (183/7) by 2 wickets and qualify for the Super 4 stage

[jnaveen1980]

if Mendis deliberately hits the wicket with bat expect a thunderstorm and wash out.

 

[pakpassfan]

Whatever happens this seems to be the most exciting match so far..did not expect this from the borefest SL and bellow par BD

I expected due to their Nagin rivalry

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 88/4 (11 overs).

96 runs are needed from 9 overs.

Game is on balance.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

After Ind vs Pak match this is the best match of the tournament so far.

 

[JaDed]

RR out of hand now unless Mendis produces a special

 

[sweep_shot]

Last over for Shakib. Needs to finish well.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good fifty from Kusal.

 

[JaDed]

After Ind vs Pak match this is the best match of the tournament so far.

I thought the Afghan Chase against BD was pretty good too.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shanaka SIX

 

[pakpassfan]

I thought the Afghan Chase against BD was pretty good too.

So both of BD game was exciting..in T20!..wow!

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 95/4 (12 overs).

89 runs are needed from 8 overs.

Shakib is done with his quota.

 

[JaDed]

So both of BD game was exciting..in T20!..wow!

Lol The gift that keeps giving lol hopefully they don't beat us in super 4

 

[Ab Fan]

Always enjoyable watching BD lose a winnable match

 

[JaDed]

Shanaka has changed the tune of the game, lol back to back sixes, finally the momentum is with him now.

15 runs of first 2 balls lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Shanaka and Kusal need to be dismissed quickly. These two are dangerous.

Six.

 

[pakpassfan]

Lol The gift that keeps giving lol hopefully they don't beat us in super 4

That will be exciting as well..I hope they rile up Virat..who knows that might bring the mighty kholi back in form

 

[sweep_shot]

73 are needed from 46 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka need 73 runs in 46 balls.

 

[JaDed]

16 runs of first two balls lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wheels are coming off in a matter of 4 balls. That is T20 for you.

 

[JaDed]

Wheels are coming off in a matter of 4 balls. That is T20 for you.

officially 2 balls lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kusala Mendis is so lucky that even their free hit catch of him could not be taken lol

 

[JaDed]

That will be exciting as well..I hope they rile up Virat..who knows that might bring the mighty kholi back in form

Naw we need our special Rubel for that, he brings the best out of Kohli.

 

[sweep_shot]

Ebadot messed it up.

67 runs are needed from 7 overs.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a comeback by Lanka.

 

[JaDed]

22 of the over by the debutant.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasted all the opportunities. Should they lose they have Rahim to blame.

 

[Rana]

Clean strikes

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Kusala Mendis is so lucky that even their free hit catch of him could not be taken lol

Most luckiest inning i have seen after Tendulker 2011 wc Semi final vs Pakistan

 

[JaDed]

Mehidy the opener into the attack now, trying his luck.

 

[jnaveen1980]

22 of the over by the debutant.

2 shots were stupendous shots. Other extra runs were his msitakes.

 

[sweep_shot]

56 runs are needed from 6 overs.

Advantage Sri Lanka now.

 

[JaDed]

Lanka taking the game away now. Good call to bring back Fizz

 

[JaDed]

Its remarkable how Ebadot brought BD into the game and then Lanka back into the game as well.

Blame completely lies on Mushi though

 

[Mesozoic]

Athar Ali Khan back to his depression voice.

 

[sweep_shot]

Big wicket.

Kusal is out.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Taskin Rhodes takes another catch

 

[JaDed]

Oh yesss Mendis out!!!

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

But has the damage been done?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin is an exceptional outfielder for Bangladesh.

 

[JaDed]

Is Ebadot just a bangla way of saying Ibadat?

 

[pakpassfan]

With all the drop catches with BD tasking took two great catches today

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh yesss Mendis out!!!

You supporting BD?

 

[JaDed]

You supporting BD?

It gets really interesting with them in later stages of tournament, Lanka fans are too mild lol.

 

[sweep_shot]

47 are needed from 5 overs.

Shanaka is key now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nidahas match also went down the wire between these 2 teams.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think there is possible dew.

 

[pakpassfan]

Way too much ball left for way little run in terms of T20

 

[JaDed]

Nidahas match also went down the wire between these 2 teams.

Well it did with ICT as well lol

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Taskin takes another wicket

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket.

Hasaranga is out.

139/6.

 

[jnaveen1980]

hasranga gone. Taskin takes a wicket.

 

[Mesozoic]

Stupid shot by Wanindu.

 

[JaDed]

I think ICC should come up with fielding rankings as well, it would be hard to judge catches but i'm sure they can figure out a way.

It seems like catching standards have dropped since last 5 years.

 

[sweep_shot]

45 are needed from 27 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

43 runs are needed from 4 overs.

Need to get Shanaka out.

 

[light]

What a match this is turning out to be. Not sure about you guys, all of the matches so far has been quite interesting in this edition of asia cup. Even the Hong Kong match was good too

 

[JaDed]

Excellent Day for Taskin, hit a six, took 2 remarkable catches and bowled well taking 2 wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka need 43 runs in 24 balls.

 

[JaDed]

Bad ball honestly by Fizz.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shanaka vs FIz

33 balls 61 runs in career lol

 

[Mesozoic]

Fizz has declined so bad. He's arguably the worst BD bowler on display.

 

[JaDed]

Extremely doable by Lanka 34 from 18 with no Taskin and Fizz's overs remaining

 

[sweep_shot]

34 runs are needed from 3 overs.

Can go either way.

 

[Ab Fan]

Three crucial overs now..the main bowlers have been used.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What's the largest chase in Dubai/UAE? I think this would be right up there if Lanka can pull it off.

 

[JaDed]

It's Lanka's game to lose now, BD don't have any bowler remaining for death.

 

[Mesozoic]

Bangladesh are just one just one wicket away from closing this. SL were favourites if they had lost one less wicket.

 

[JaDed]

What's the largest chase in Dubai/UAE? I think this would be right up there if Lanka can pull it off.

It will be the highest in UAE.

 

[light]

Bangladesh are just one just one wicket away from closing this. SL were favourites if they had lost one less wicket.

Doesn't look like BD has any good bowlers left. I still will put my money on SL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wow. What a match.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Gone

 

[Nasty Naz]

It will be the highest in UAE.

Thought so. Big totals itself rarely ever happen here.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah its over, BD doesn't have anyone to bowl , Ebadot can't manage this in his first game. lol and out.. big Wicket

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

26 needed from 13

 

[pakpassfan]

Feel bad for SL if they gets out...SL needed all the money they can get

 

[sweep_shot]

Shanaka is out. Big wicket.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This has been an entertaining series so far

 

[Nasty Naz]

Big blow. Shanuka out. Going to be very tough to win now.
