Right then! The T20 World Cup is underway and we have had two great matches on the first day. The action now moves to Group A now. On 18th October, Ireland will face Netherlands at 2 pm Local (10 am GMT) and then Sri Lanka will face Namibia at 6 pm Local (2 pm GMT). Make sure you join us for that. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Kyle Coetzer, the skipper of Scotland, says that the Bangladeshi bowlers were outstanding and they were blown away a bit. Adds that Greaves was sensational with the bat and they have a lot of belief in their squad. Further adds that winning a game like this does boost their confidence a lot and this further strengthens their belief. Says that they will analyze after this game about how they can improve their game further. Finishes by saying that the team members really back each other.

Mahmudullah, the skipper of Bangladesh, says the wicket was good and the target was chaseable. Credits his bowlers by saying that they bowled really well but it was their batters who did not perform well. Adds that Scotland batted well after losing wickets in the middle overs. Tells that they will regroup and hopes that they do not repeat these mistakes in the next game and win the match. Signs off by saying that the wicket was very good to bat on but they need to pull their socks up now.

Chris Greaves, PLAYER OF THE MATCH, says they were in trouble and it does not always go that way, they needed to re-build and he is delighted he could be the one to play the crucial knock. States they had something to bowl at and power-hitting at the end was unbelievable. Adds he is glad he could contribute to his team's success. Finishes by saying that it feels incredible to be a Scottish cricketer at this moment.

What a show it was by Scotland! They were pumped up thanks to the blazing finish they got to their batting and came out with intent in the field. All the bowlers except for Michael Leask bowled really well and kept the pressure on the batters. Brad Wheal got 3 wickets and went for only 24 runs in his spell. Chris Greaves got 2 wickets while Josh Davey and Mark Watt chipped in with 1 wicket each. It was a team performance by them and even their fielding was superb. Calum MacLeod in particular was brilliant and took 3 catches in the field. Safyaan Sharif did go for runs in the last over but they had enough in their kitty to win this game. Overall, they will be very happy with their show in the game. This is just the way they would have wanted to start their campaign in the T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh would have wanted a good start given the kind of experience they have in their batting ranks but that did not happen. Soumya Sarkar and Liton Das fell very cheaply and they were 18 for 2. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim then repaired things with a good stand in the middle but the required run rate kept creeping up. First, Shakib Al Hasan fell while looking to up the ante and then Mushfiqur Rahim followed him soon. Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain hit some boundaries in the death overs to keep the game alive but their departure in successive overs was the final nail in the coffin for Bangladesh. Mahedi Hasan did hit a few boundaries in the last over, but it was not enough for them.

What a win for Scotland! They were down and out in the first innings but came back strong to put on a good score on the board. Then they walked out on the field and bowled with fire to defend it. What a way to get the T20 World Cup underway for Scotland. Bangladesh, on the other hand, would be very disappointed with the way this game turned out for them. Celebrations in the Scotland camp and they have deserved this victory!

Safyaan Sharif To Mahedi Hasan

That is it! Scotland have handed Bangladesh a defeat in their opening game! Back of a length, around off. Mahedi Hasan pulls it to deep mid-wicket and can only manage a single. Scotland WIN THE MATCH BY 6 RUNS!

19.5

Safyaan Sharif To Mahedi Hasan

FOUR! Another full toss, around off. Mahedi Hasan carves it past covers for a boundary. 8 runs needed off the last ball!

They are checking for a no ball here! Could be a game-changing moment but it seems fine for now and it is not termed as a no ball which means Bangladesh need 12 from two.

19.4

Safyaan Sharif To Mahedi Hasan

SIX! BANG! Well, well! Is there a twist in the tale? Sharif serves a juicy full toss, on middle and leg. Mahedi Hasan stays back and sends it sailing way over deep square leg for a maximum! 12 runs needed off 2 balls!

19.3

Safyaan Sharif To Mohammad Saifuddin

Top delivery! A yorker, around middle and leg. Mohammad Saifuddin squeezes it out to the left of the bowler for a run.

19.2

Safyaan Sharif To Mohammad Saifuddin

FOUR! Bangladesh more of these if they are to win this game now! Length ball, outside off. Mohammad Saifuddin lofts it over mid off for a boundary.

The physio is out as Mahedi Hasan hit the ball onto his helmet. He seems fine though.

19.1

Safyaan Sharif To Mahedi Hasan

Leg bye! Full ball, around leg. Mahedi Hasan gets low and looks to scoop it over the keeper but he gets an inside edge onto his pads. The batters take a run.

Safyaan Sharif to bowl the last over. He has plenty of runs to defend. 23 to be precise. Can Bangladesh spring in a surprise?

Mahedi Hasan walks out to bat now!

18.2

Brad Wheal To Nurul Hasan OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Another good catch from Calum MacLeod and Bangladesh slip further! A slower ball, on a length, around off. Nurul Hasan looks to go downtown but it takes the toe end of the bat and the ball lobs up in the air towards long on. Calum MacLeod there, takes the catch, he realizes the momentum is taking him over the ropes. He throws it up inside the ropes, comes back and takes it with ease.

18.1

Brad Wheal To Mahmudullah

A low full toss, outside off. Mahmudullah looks to slog hard but it takes the outside edge to the right of the keeper. The keeper dives to his right and stops a certain boundary. A single taken.

Brad Wheal to bowl now. He has been given the 19th. probably the most important over of the game. 32 needed.
