Okay! The Malinga chapter is done in ODIs but what about this series? It has just begun! Will Bangladesh be able to bounce back and level the series? Will Sri Lanka be able to move on from the Slinga absence? Only time will tell. Join us on Sunday, 28th July, 2019 at 2.30 pm local (0900 GMT) for all the action from the second ODI. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
The fireworks go off and 'Thank you, Mali!' signboards go up in the stands. Boy, he will be missed. Those yorkers. Fast and furious. Then some with terrific change in pace, taking ever so long to come. But deadly accurate. Thank you, Lasith Malinga, for teaching us that it is not always archers who can be accurate. Thank you, for teaching us that it is not only bowlers with conventional action who can survive in this sport. A terrific competitor, but a humble human being. Wishing you a great future in whatever you do next, though there is plenty of T20 cricket still to come.
A long, emotional speech comes to an end at last. Another presentation. This time from Malinga, as he gives a token of appreciation to former Lankan fast bowling coach, Champaka Ramanayake. A wonderful gesture.
Lasith Malinga is now given a special token, with his family being invited as well. Time for the farewell speech. He chooses to do so in Sinhalese and the crowd goes wild.
Victorious Sri Lankan captain, Dimuth Karunaratne, says that all the team members supported him throughout the World Cup. Reckons that the Lankans were on the right path even during the mega tournament but they just needed some time to enhance. Believes that tournament opened up their plans to bat well consistently and that was witnessed in this game. On Malinga's final game, Karunaratne says that he egged his boys on to give their 200 percent for the legend. Admits that the Lankans need to find a couple of bowlers as Malinga's replacement but is happy with the performance of Lahiru Kumara. On the legend finally, Dimuth says that Malinga has been a great servant of Sri Lankan cricket, always stepping up when the captain needed him to and says that he will be missed, though he will be around in the T20Is.
Bangladesh captain, Tamim Iqbal, manages to put in a smile. Admits that he has been struggling with the bat over the last few weeks and needs to start performing. Praises his bowlers for coming back strongly towards the end as at one stage, they looked to be chasing 350. But is disappointed over the no-show with the bat. On missing the injured key players, Tamim says that he is happy with the squad of 15 that he has and it is just a matter of realizing one's role. Feels that there are still two more matches to go and if he starts scoring and everyone else chips in, things will change.
KUSAL PERERA HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH for his spectacular 111. First, he is asked as to how is he feeling since he did not take part in the second innings. Kusal says that it was a slight back niggle and he is feeling better now. On his batting innings, Perera says that the number 3 role suits him more and he played his shots, taking a calculated risk every now and then as Bangladesh were bowling well. On Lasith Malinga, Perera says that he is a legend, always helping and advising youngsters.
Take aside Lasith Malinga, there were quite a few positives for Sri Lanka in this game. But they need more of these and with some consistency. Where were these during the World Cup? Do they have the batsmen to step up when needed? Do they have seamers in store for the future? Sunday and Wednesday will give us a better indication. Time for the presentation...
'Mali! Mali! Mali!' were the chants continuously as soon as the Lankans took the field in the second innings. And he did not disappoint. He knocked Tamim Iqbal's timber over and then had Soumya Sarkar dismissed in identical fashion. At 39/4, the game looked done and dusted and the 111-run stand between Mushfiqur Rahim and Sabbir Rahman just delayed the inevitable. Nuwan Pradeep did a decent job with 3 scalps and fittingly in the end, it was Slinga who closed the game, with his third scalp.
Coming to the game, it was totally Sri Lanka. They put their best foot forward by winning the toss and though they lost Avishka Fernando early, Kusal Perera and skipper Dimuth Karunaratne took the game away with a 97-run stand. Perera's 111 knocked the wind out of Bangladesh's sails and even though they did come back towards the end, 314/8 was a big enough total on the board.
Lasith Malinga says that he has played the last 15 years for Sri Lanka and believes that it is time for the new generation to take over for the 2023 World Cup. Thanks the crowd for its continuous support. Is happy with the win. On his effort throughout his career, Malinga says that his captain always expected him to take a wicket and he tried his best. On the Lankan future, Lasith says that there are a couple of Lankan youngsters in the ranks and they should be looked after.
The legend is taking a walk around the park with one of the greatest Sri Lankan fans, if not the greatest, Percy, who is happy to follow him like a bodyguard. The Lankan star is taking a victory march, with Percy happily waving the Lankan flag around. He is now halted in his tracks, after completing the march, for a chat, by Roshan Abeysinghe.
Numbers. That is what the game is made up of. 35. Malinga's age. Just a number. 91. The victory margin for Sri Lanka tonight. Again, just another number. But the numbers that matter - 226 ODIs and 338 wickets. Goes past Anil Kumble and moves to number 9 in the list of leading wicket-takers in ODIs. 536 international wickets. Take a bow, Separamadu Lasith Malinga.

Lasith Malinga To Mustafizur Rahman OUT!
OUT! Caught! Lasith Malinga fittingly takes the final wicket of the match! He stands there with his arms aloft in the air and the Lankan supporters are on their feet, to applaud their favourite son. A length ball outside off, slightly slower, Mustafizur backs away and aims to hit this over mid off. But he only skies it high in the air and it is a pressure catch for Thisara Perera. Yes, pressure catch because it could be the final time he would be involved in helping Mali take a wicket. He runs back from short extra cover, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it over his head. SRI LANKA WIN BY 91 RUNS!

Mosaddek tries to pull this one but misses and the ball goes high to Kusal Mendis. He leaps up and stops it from going behind him but the batters think it has gone away from the keeper. Mosaddek responds to Rahim's call and sets off for a run. Suddenly, Rahim sends Mosaddek back as keeper Kusal Mendis has collected the ball. He takes off his gloves, sees that he has three stumps to aim at and goes for the direct hit at the keeper's end and hits. Mosaddek is way short and has to depart. The budding partnership is broken and Rahim looks to be running out of partners. Just for the record, it was given as a wide as well.

Excellent stop in the deep. Landed around middle, Rahim gets down and pulls it through mid-wicket. Avishka Fernando gives a good chase in the deep, runs to his right, dives and flicks it towards substitute Wanindu Hasaranga who comes running to his left from fine leg. A couple taken.
DRINKS! The Tigers have pulled it back in this phase and the run chase is on. However, they have lost the important wicket of Sabbir Rahman who was well set and looking to go big. Mushfiqur and Mosaddek will be looking to take this chase as deep as they possibly can. Sri Lanka on the other hand will be looking to break this partnership and get into the tail-enders.

Down the leg side, is that a catch? Not a wide either. Bizarre. Malinga bowls his first ball full and down the leg side. Mossadek looks to flick but misses. The Lankans thought that Hossain had edged it. Hossain is amused how it has not been wided. The ball has carried through to the keeper who also appeals loudly. Everyone is puzzled by this decision. It seems like the umpire is of the opinion that it clipped the pads of the batter.
Dimuth Karunaratne has brought the stadium alive. By bringing Lasith Malinga back into the attack. 5-2-12-2 so far.

Dhananjaya de Silva To Sabbir Rahman OUT!
OUT! Caught! For the second time in the game, Nelson has struck. In the first innings, it was Kusal Perera who was dismissed for 111. Here, it is the 111-run stand which has been broken. Tossed up on middle, Sabbir comes down the track and looks to flick it over the leg side. He does not connect it well enough and this ground is not that small either. Simple catch for Lahiru Kumara at deep mid-wicket. Rahman hits himself with his bat as he walks off. Could not quite finish the job. Bangladesh in a spot of bother again. 165 more needed from 130 balls.

Nuwan Pradeep To Mohammad Mithun OUT!
OUT! LBW! Three reds and Mithun is out of here. The review has been wasted. Pradeep pitches it outside off and shapes back in, it hits the front pad of Mithun on the off pole line. He has shuffled across the stumps and leaves his leg stump exposed. Mithun thought that it was missing leg but the Ball Tracker shows it has dislodged the middle stump. Bangladesh have lost their second wicket and look in deep trouble here.
REVIEW TIME! Mithun has been adjudged LBW but he has taken the referral. Looks plumb. He was walking across the sticks while playing that shot and Ultra Edge does not detect any wood. Trouble. Big trouble. Ball Tracker shows the ball to be hitting the stumps. Poor referral.

Another Malinga special here. The ball is pitched on yorker length, Mithun just about gets the bat down in time. The ball hits the bat and then the pad of Mithun.
Interesting. Both the sides lost their sole review on the first ball of the third over.

Lasith Malinga To Soumya Sarkar
NOT OUT! Sri Lanka lose their only review. Malinga was very sure but the replays have shown that it pitched outside leg. A near yorker that, landing around leg and pinging Sarkar first on his front boot and then deflects onto his bat. Malinga puts in an unsuccessful appeal and then convinces his skipper to take the DRS. Pitching outside leg and no need to look further.
What happened there? Lasith Malinga is very convinced that he has trapped Sarkar in front of the stumps. Big conference regarding that and Dimuth Karunaratne gets convinced to take the DRS. Pitching outside leg, shows the replay.

Lasith Malinga To Tamim Iqbal OUT!
OUT! Malinga has done his magic again. What a ball! Corker of a yorker by Slinga-Malinga! Iqbal has maybe sunk into the occasion. Malinga releases the ball on the leg stump line, it swings in towards the pads of Iqbal, he tries to bring his bat down but the ball has gone through before that. It hits the pads of Tamim and crashes into the stumps as he falls onto the ground. The crowd has gone bonkers! Lasith is determined to make his last ODI truly memorable.

Back for the run chase. The Lankan players give Lasith Malinga a guard of honour as he enters the field. A quick huddle after that and Slinga picks up the first new ball to open the bowling for his team one final time in this format. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar are the Bangla openers. One slip in place. Here we go...
