PLAYER OF THE MATCH
15:37 local, 07:37 GMT, 13:07 IST: Back-to-back losses for Sri Lanka. They had the momentum going into the innnings break, but their batters just didn't turn up. Kept losing wickets at regular intervals and fell well behind the required rate. In the end, there was too much to do and they eventually couldn't hold their nerve. After a rained-out affair in their previous game against Hong Kong, Bangladesh will be happy to have secured a win, and open their account in this tournament. We have a blockbuster contest coming up next - India v Pakistan. Hop tabs to follow the action from that game. See you there!!

Shaikh Habibur Rahman to Nimesh Vimukthi, out Nimesh Vimukthi Run Out!!. Game over. Bangladesh win by 14 runs. That was full and straight from Shaikh Habibur Rahman. Vimukthi looks to thump it down the ground and ekes it off the cue end of the bat. The bowler gets a hand in his followthrough and it goes onto hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. The non-striker was backing away too far and was not even in the frame. Nimesh Vimukthi run out (Shaikh Habibur Rahman) 0(2)
