END OF OVER:

Pritam: "We are seeing a rejuvenated Mosaddek this Asia Cup."

Bangladesh batting coach: After the night we had, we are very happy, now upto the bowlers to do the job. We just looking for our best combination upfront, this was a bit of desperation, so we put in a few players who will play without fear. We are trying to develop how hitting goes. Lots of good combination at a good run-rate. Nothing spectacular. We wanted to play without fear and see what would happen.

7.49pm A roller coaster of an innings but Bangladesh have crossed the 180-run score and on this surface, that is a very good total. The last five overs went for 60 runs with Afif, Mosaddek and Mahmudullah all playing their part. Bangladesh started off well in the powerplay but lost their way in the middle with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim falling quickly. But, Mahumudullah and Afif provided the innings with the right kind of impetus, before Mosaddek smoked 24* off 9 balls to finish the innings on a high. Sri Lanka were up and down with their bowling and will have to really dig deep to chase this down. Can they do it? Join us in a bit to find out.

A couple of stat nuggets:

This is the most runs that Bangladesh have ever scored against Sri Lanka in the death overs of a T20I.

This is Wanindu Hasaranga's most expensive T20I spell in Asia and third-most overall.

Fernando to Taskin Ahmed, no run, Length outside off, he looks to flay it away but misses. The umpire deems that was inside the tramline.

Looks like Sri Lanka are fine on the over rate. Asitha to bowl the last over.

Karunaratne to Mahedi Hasan, OUT, Slower length ball on middle and leg, he looks to work it to the on-side, misses and is caught plumb in front of the wicket. He reviews, but I am guessing more in hope. Yep, the ball-tracker confirms that would have smashed into leg stump.

PW Hasaranga to Mahmudullah, OUT, Hasaranga returns and gets the big fish! Flighted gently on off, was the leg-spinner. Mahmudullah was looking for the slog sweep, but looks like was deceived by the slowness and was into his shot a bit early. Ends up getting a top edge with Chamika Karunaratne at deep midwicket taking a simple catch.
