| 2.2 : 2.2: M Mortaza to D Gunathilaka, FOUR! Fantastic reply! Fuller delivery in the line of the stumps, Gunathilaka stays in his crease and drives it down the ground for a boundary. Shot of the day. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: M Mortaza to D Gunathilaka, OUT! Mortaza gets his man and shows the world that it isn't easy to hit him! Back of a length delivery into the body, Gunathilaka with his aggressive approach goes for a pull. He top edges it and the ball balloons towards the short fine leg region. Rahim, the keeper calls for it and takes a good catch to sent back the opener. Terrific turn around by Mashrafe! |
| 7.1 : 7.1: M Hasan to U Tharanga, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Tossed up outside off, Tharanga opens the face of the bat and drives it elegantly through the cover region for a boundary. Solid technique to execute that shot. |

| 14.4 : 14.4: T Ahmed to U Tharanga, FOUR! Lovely shot! Full delivery around off, Tharanga leans forward and just places his full face of the bat. Goes down the ground off the meat of the bat and there was no stopping that glorious shot! |
| 15.4: Al Hasan to K Mendis, FOUR! Top shot! A bit short from Shakib this time, Kusal Mendis sits down and sweeps it beautifully through the backward square leg region for a boundary. |
| 19.4: M Hasan to U Tharanga, FOUR! Shot! Slider coming in with the arm on middle and off, almost catches Upul Tharanga by surprise. But, he does well to rock back and cuts it away through point for a boundary. |
| 23.4: Al Hasan to U Tharanga, FOUR! Beautifully hit. Over the wicket, it's turning in on off, Tharanga backs away and uses the room well as he crunches the punch through the covers for a boundary. |
| 24.1 : 24.1: M Rahman to U Tharanga, FOUR! Upul Tharanga seems to have gone on the charge here. He picks up the length early, stays back and pulls it over mid-wicket to send it across the rope. Didn't exactly middle it... Wait. It seems he's hit it twice really. Great talent, there! In any case, is enough to fetch him a boundary. |
| 24.3 : 24.3: M Rahman to U Tharanga, FOUR! BANG! That's hammered. Stand and deliver stuff from Upul Tharanga. Full around off, Tharanga stands firm and murders it over the bowler's head for the second boundary of the over. |
| 24.4 : 24.4: M Rahman to U Tharanga, OUT! A WICKET AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY! That's a big one for Bangladesh, and it's of the Lankan skipper. Mustafizur hurls a beamer down the leg side, Tharanga leaves it alone as Rahim dives to his right and gets a hand to it. It's parried towards short fine leg where Mahmudullah rushes to the ball seeing the batsmen set off for a run. He gets a direct hit at the non-striker's end and the Tigers are up in celebration. The umpire takes it upstairs and replays show Upu |
| 24.4: M Rahman to K Mendis, SIX! THAT'S SMOKED! What. A. Hit. Kusal Mendis with an absolute whopper. It's full outside off, he gets real low to this and just launches it over the wide long on fence for a maximum. Got it right off the middle of the bat and sent it sailing all the way. |
| 24.5 : 24.5: M Rahman to K Mendis, FOUR! Fifty for Kusal Mendis! He drives this through the covers for a boundary. He was struggling when he came in to bat, but as the game has gone on, has got his eye in and settled in well. |
| 27.1 : 27.1: M Hossain to K Mendis, FOUR! Poor line and he's paid the price for it. Mosaddek flights it around leg, Mendis gets down on his rear knee and sweeps it off his gloves fine down the leg side. Shakib gives it a chase to try and stop it but the ball wins this race. Boundary! |
| 29.4 : 29.4: M Hossain to K Mendis, FOUR! That's in the gap. The Lankan batsmen are using the sweep shot well here. He kneels down and sweeps it through backward square leg for a boundary. |

| 30.1 : 30.1: Al Hasan to K Mendis, FOUR! More runs for the Lankans. Mendis steps out and flicks it ever so well through the mid-wicket region. Mehedi Hasan out in the deep tries to cut it off with a dive but fails in his attempt to do so. It goes across the rope for a boundary. |

| 34.6 : 34.6: Al Hasan to K Mendis, FOUR! This one was way better than the last one! Tossed up into the stumps, Mendis charges down the track and smacks that over the long on region for a boundary. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: M Rahman to D Chandimal, OUT! Rahman outfoxes Chandimal! Length delivery angling into the stumps, Chamdimal shuffles way across and sits down to play a scoop on the leg side. He misses the ball completely and the players appeal. Chandimal goes for a leg bye and the umpire after thinking a lot rules it out. Strangely Mendis is quick to opt for the review from the non-striker's end. Replays show that there was no bat involved. Ball Tracker shows that the ball was pitched outside off, impact |
| 37.4: T Ahmed to K Mendis, OUT! Great awareness from Taskin Ahmed! Slower and fuller delivery around off, Mendis stays in his crease and smacks it back to the bowler. Ahmed just tries to get his hand to it but gets hit on the shoulder.

Mendis' brilliant knock comes to an end. |

| 44.1: M Mortaza to A Gunaratne, FOUR! Well outside off, Gunaratne does well to open the face a bit and guide it behind backward point for a boundary. |
| 45.4 : 45.4: M Hasan to M Siriwardana, OUT! Siriwardana departs! Floated around off, Milinda Siriwardana stays in his crease and goes for a slog sweep. He fails to make contact there and the ball smashes into the timber. Siriwardana has to walk back. |
| 46.3 : 46.3: M Mortaza to T Perera, FOUR! Brilliant timing! Angling across off, Perera shuffles across and whips it through the mid-wicket region. The two boundary riders in the deep tried to cut it off but the ball won the race. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: M Mortaza to T Perera, OUT! Instinctive from Rahim! Length delivery into the pads, Perera goes to clip on the leg side but he misses it completely. The ball rolls away towards the keeper after hitting his pads. He goes for a run but the non-striker sends him back. Rahim sees Perera halfway down the track and affects a run out on the striker's end. The leg umpire raises his finger up. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: M Mortaza to A Gunaratne, SIX! Good shot! Asela should thank the fielder there in the deep for not knowing where his boundary is. Length delivery into the body, Asela slogs it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie. Had the fielder been on the boundary, it would have been an easy catch. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: T Ahmed to D Perera, FOUR! Top edged! Short delivery into the body, Dilruwan Perera goes for a pull but the ball flies off the top edge over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: M Rahman to D Perera, OUT! Rahim is brilliant again behind the stumps! Fuller delivery way outside off, Perera tries to play a premeditated paddle shot but fails to make contact. The ball goes towards Rahim and the batsman is totally unaware where the ball is. Rahim hurls a throw at the striker's end seeing Dilruwan take off for the run and he hits. The umpire has no problem to rule that out. Even if he had missed, Mustafizur would have reached the stumps and took the bails off if needed. |
| 48.5 : 48.5: M Rahman to A Gunaratne, FOUR! Good shot! Full toss wide outside off, Gunaratne slices it behind the point region for a boundary. |
| 49.2 : 49.2: T Ahmed to A Gunaratne, FOUR! Good shot! Full toss on the pads, Gunaratne smacks it through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: T Ahmed to A Gunaratne, OUT! Ahmed gets his man! Full and wide outside off, Gunaratne tries to go over the mid off fielder. Fails to get the elevation as he does not connect well. The ball goes straight to the fielder at mid off. Sarkar takes an easy catch and Gunaratne's cameo comes to an end. |
| 49.4 : 49.4: T Ahmed to S Lakmal, OUT! Full toss does the trick! In the line of the stumps, Lakmal swats it away towards mid-wicket but Mustafizur Rahman dives to his right and takes a stunning catch. |
| 49.5 : 49.5: T Ahmed to N Pradeep, OUT! YES, YES! Taskin gets the hat-trick. Yorker, right on the money. Pradeep cannot get his bat down in time and the ball smashes into the timber. A brilliant delivery to end the innings. SRI LANKA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 311! |
