That's it for the action for tonight from the Asia Cup. Tomorrow we have the small matter of an India-Pakistan clash. We will be there nice and early to bring you all the action from that one. Do join us then. Bye bye for now.
Charith Asalanka: That was a dream start with two overs, two maidens and two wickets. That is his main weapon, the googly (Hasaranga). Even we can't pick him properly. He's a superstar. Once we got 120 runs, we realised that we should finish it as soon as possible. Brilliant support from the fans. Even Bangladesh fans as well. Want to thank everyone who supported us.
Litton Das: I thought we lost the game in powerplay. Wicket was pretty good to bat on. 170-180 would've been a different game. On a good wicket if you score 140, you have to bowl and field well. We didn't do that. Do or die (against Afghanistan). Thanks to all our supporters. Wish they come again and watch our game.
Kamil Mishara | Player of the Match: Pathum said to just play normal game, take your time and do your things. Very happy to win a game for the country again. I believe in my strengths and work hard for it.
21:58 Local Time, 17:58 GMT, 23:28 IST: Such a comfortable win for Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis went early and the drop of Nissanka by Mahedi proved costly early on. The partnership between Kamil Mishara and Nissanka all but ensured Sri Lanka were home. A couple of late wickets came but that was all academic. Sri Lanka have coasted to a win with 32 balls to spare which will give their NRR a big boost. Now Bangladesh have to beat Afghanistan to hope to progress to the next round. Today they were well below-par in the field and with the ball. Rishad's horrible over summing up the way they bowled. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
STAT: 14.4 overs taken by Sri Lanka is the fewest overs taken by them in a 140-plus run successful chase.
Shamim Hossain to Kamil Mishara, 2 runs, Sri Lanka win. Thanks to a fumble at cover. It was slower and Kamil Mishara goes on the back foot and cuts to cover, Hridoy fumbles and then Tanzid Tamim at sweeper cover fumbles, still there was a chance of a run-out at the batter's end. The throw is hard and on the bounce to Litton Das, who tries to deflect it on the stumps, misses and had the throw hit the stumps, Mishara was in trouble. Instead the game is done
Shamim Hossain to Kamil Mishara, no run, again loopy and tossed up full on off, Kamil Mishara gets forward to drive it back to Shamim Hossain
Shamim Hossain to Asalanka, 1 run, loopy and tossed up full on off, Asalanka gets forward to push it wide of cover
Shamim Hossain to Kamil Mishara, 1 run, good length outside off, flat, Kamil Mishara cuts to sweeper cover
Shamim Hossain, right-arm off break, comes into the attack
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Asalanka, SIX, full just outside off, Asalanka with his trademark heave to leg, he plays that shot so well, stands there and belts it across the line, way over deep mid-wicket
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Kamil Mishara, 1 run, back of the hand slower-ball and just outside the leg-stump, Kamil Mishara gets forward to drive to long-on
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Asalanka, 1 run, good length outside off, Asalanka taps and runs to cover, a direct-hit but Asalanka has made it, good running that

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Shanaka, out Caught by Mustafizur!! Good catch at fine-leg. Down leg, short of length and Shanaka swings it, Mustafizur moves to his right and dives to take it well. Judged it nicely. The move to send Shanaka up the order has not worked. Some late joy for Bangladesh. Shanaka c Mustafizur b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 1(3)
