BAN vs SL Live Cricket Score

2.5 OUT! TAKEN! Two wickets in the second spell of Mahedi Hasan. The start is just getting sweeter for Bangladesh. Flighted and fuller, around off. Lasith Croospulle comes down the track and looks to flick it, but miscues the shot completely and the ball loops straight toward mid off, where Yasir Ali takes a calm and composed catch. 12/2

2.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Mahedi Hasan will get the first breakthrough and Bangladesh wastes no time in drawing the first blood. Arm ball from Hasan, pitching it short, on off and angling it in. Sineth Jayawardena makes room to cut it away, but it beats the top edge and hits the top of the middle stump. 7/1

3.5 OUT! LIVERA IS RUN OUT! The horrors are just repeating itself from the semis for Sri Lanka. Pitched on a length and turning into the pads, tucked away comfortably into the deep square-leg region. They get the first with ease, but Sohan decides to push the arm of Mustafizur for two. Sharp work in the deep as Mustafizur swoops in rapidly and delivers an arrow-straight throw to Litton Das behind the stumps. Sohan stretches with a desperate slide, but third-umpire replays confirm he was just shy of his crease. 21/4

3.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Aliss Al Islam gets his first maiden T20I wicket. Length ball outside off, spinning away from over the wicket, Nuwanidu pushes at it, misses completely, and Litton Das collects behind, erupting into a furious celebration! The umpire's finger shoots straight up into the sky, leaving Nuwanidu frozen in absolute disbelief. Replays come in and comfirms it that the ball was well away from the bat. Absolute disaster for the batter. 18/3

19.3 OUT! BOWLED! Quicker through the air, just outside off and darting it back in. Sahan Arachchige sits down to slog sweep it away but he's played all over it, and misses. The ball crashes into the off pole and the skipper has to walk back after a solid knock. 157/8

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Rishad Hossain breaks the budding stand, and Sri Lanka have now lost half their side. Rishad Hossain floats this one up, full and around off, getting the ball to turn away from the right-hander. Ashen Bandara lunges to fetch and play the slog sweep against the spin, but ends up toe-ending it. The ball lobs up behind short mid-wicket, where Mustafizur Rahman scampers behind and takes a solid catch over his left shoulder. 54/5

18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, some respite for Mustafizur Rahman and Bangladesh, but the damage has already been done. Rahman serves it a bit fuller and outside off, Tharindu Ratnayake looks to get forward and hammer it over covers but doesn't get the elevation. Rishad Hossain at extra cover leaps up and snaffles it nicely with both hands. End of a game-changing knock from Ratnayake. 147/6

18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust, and Sri Lanka are now 7 down. Mustafizur Rahman takes pace off, serving it full and on the stumps. Dushan Hemantha takes the front leg out and heaves it down to long on, where Tanzid Hasan takes a straightforward catch. 149/7

19.5 OUT! TIMBER! Flatter one from Saif Hassan, sliding it across the right-hander, from middle to off. Vijayakanth Viyaskanth backs away a bit and has a big swing across the line and ends up missing the ball. The ball then goes on to castle into the stumps and Sri Lanka are now 9 down for 163. 163/9

1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! What a start for Nuwan Thushara and Sri Lanka - a wicket maiden. Thushara bangs it into the surface, over middle. Saif Hassan comes down the pitch, trying to force it over the off side but edges it through to the keeper. Sohan de Livera makes no mistake and Bangladesh lose an early wicket. 0/1

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Tharindu Ratnayake can do no wrong today. Nicely flighted ball, on off and middle. Tanzid Hasan leans on to go over mid on but miscues it down to the left of long off. Wanuja Sahan runs across and takes a good catch over his head. Bangladesh are now 2 down without a run on the board. 0/2

2.1 OUT! TIMBER! That's a jaffa from Nuwan Thushara. Thushara goes full and straight, landing it in the blockhole and there's a hint of swing as well. Litton Das ends up playing all around a straight ball and misses. The ball goes on to make a mess of the stumps behind and Bangladesh are 4/3. 4/3

8.2 OUT! TAKEN! The wrong'un does the trick for Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Sri Lanka lose half of their team now. A deft variation from the bowler, pitching a good length googly out wide of off stump. Emon waits on the back foot, attempting a delicate late cut, but the subtle turn catches a faint feather off the blade. Sohan de Livera is momentarily blinded by the trajectory, fumbling the initial collection behind the stumps, but reacts swiftly to snatch the bobbling ball on the second attempt. 50/5

3.5 OUT! CAUGHT! That's the wicket Sri Lanka wanted. Tharindu Ratnayake floats it up at the stumps and this one slides back in with the arm. Towhid Hridoy skips down the pitch to go big, but miscues it badly to mid on, where Nuwanidu Fernando takes a simple catch. Bangladesh are now 18/4. 18/4

11.2 OUT! TIMBER! That could well be the final nail in Bangladesh's coffin. Wanuja Sahan floats the ball up, full and on off and middle. This one drifts in and dips on the batter. Yasir Ali ends up playing all over a straight ball as he leans on to drive and the ball sneaks past the blade to crash into the stumps. Ali played for the turn there, but the ball went straight on. 72/8

8.3 OUT! LBW! Two in two for Viyaskanth and now he is on a Hat-Trick. Another beautifully disguised googly, pitching it fractionally outside off stump and turning in sharply toward the stumps. Mahedi Hasan fails to pick the wrist variation, pressing forward with a defensive stroke only to be beaten on the inside edge. The ball hits him high on the front pad. Viyaskanth appeals out loud. The umpire takes all the time and raises his finger to it with a nod. 50/6

10 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A sharp take from Wanuja Sahan to his own delivery and Bangladesh lose another wicket. Full-length delivery outside off stump, enticing Rishad Hossain into a front-foot drive. He connects well, driving it powerfully straight back down the pitch, but fails to keep the stroke grounded. Wanuja moves to his left swiftly and takes the catch. 67/7

17.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The bowling change from Sahan Arachchige to bring himself back into the attack will do the last bit for Sri Lanka, as they have beaten Bangladesh by 63 runs to secure a bronze medal in the Asian Games 2026. Pitching full, wide outside the off stump. Nasum bites on the bait to hit it downtown. He swings hard, aiming to clear the boundary, but fails to reach the middle of the blade. Ashen Bandara judges the skier with ease, moving in slightly from the rope to take a routine catch. 102/10

14.5 OUT! CHOPPED ON! The googly finally proves to be too good for Aliss Al Islam, and Sri Lanka are just one wicket away from sealing the Bronze Medal. Dushan Hemantha drags the length back, bowling it just outside off. Islam rocks back and tries to punch it through the off side but the ball turns back in and takes the inside edge, before eventually rolling back onto the stumps. The bails fall off and Islam has to walk back. 87/9
