BANGLADESH WIN, MAHMUDULLAH DOES IT
Live Cricket Score - Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Match 6, Nidahas Trophy 2018
Mahmudullah seals the game with a neatly-flicked six in the last over from Udana. The Bangladesh team breaks into a unified 'nagin' dance. Much drama even after the game ended with a few players being pulled back by their teammates.
But, it's Bangladesh in the final of the Nidahas Trophy, 2018!
Mad drama!
Things getting slightly out of hand here at the RPS. Looks like one of the extras from the Bangladesh dugout was coming in with a message for the batsmen, and the Sri Lankan players almost shooed him off. Looks like Shakib is calling his batsmen back in protest. Absolute madness unfolding at the moment.
But they're playing on now!
FIFTY AND OUT
Tamim Iqbal falls soon after getting a fifty. It's Gunathilaka with the breakthrough. A thick outside edge is snaffled up by Kusal Perera despite a slight fumble.
WICKET: End of a 64-run stand
Mushfiqur tries to hit the left-arm spinner Aponso over the top but hits it straight to the man at cover.
Tamim, Mushfiqur push Bangladesh ahead
Both batsmen are finding the boundaries at will and have put on a brisk stand for the third wicket. That keeps the chase going nicely.
WICKET: Sabbir too falls to Dananjaya
Kusal Perera fumbles a bit but is able to pull off the stumping in time. Sabbir was too far down the track to make a quick comeback.
Injury for Pradeep
The pacer pulls up badly while trying to chase a ball. He's seen stretching his right leg and is helped off the field by the support staff. That's not good news for Sri Lanka.
WICKET: Akila strikes early
Liton Das tries to loft Dananjaya over the top but holes out to mid off. A wicket in the second over for Sri Lanka.
INNINGS BREAK: Sri Lanka end up with 159
They've come a far way from 41/5. It's all thanks to a 97-run stand between the two Pereras. The total is still a chasable one and ought to be a good one. Coming up shortly.
Thisara gets a fifty as well
That's his maiden T20I fifty and a very important one for Sri Lanka. He gets out for 58 but that's a job well done for Sri Lanka.
Kusal fights on
The counterattack from Kusal Perera is coming off wonderfully well for Sri Lanka. He's raced away to a fifty off just 32 balls. He's taking Sri Lanka towards a competitive total.
