SL vs BAN Live Cricket Score

7.5 OUT! KAYES IS RUN OUT! Some exceptional work in the field has undone him here. Sabbir flicks it straight to the short fine leg fielder and takes off. Dangerous stuff but there's no turning back now. Upul Tharanga the man to fire in the throw to the keeper who whips the bails off in a flash. It goes upstairs and replays show Kayes is just short of the crease, even the dive didn't work. Sri Lanka back in this game now. 78/2

6.3 OUT! Gunaratne gets the breakthrough! Lovely bowling. He bowls another loopy cutter, full on off, Sarkar is probably early into the shot and just chips it back to Asela. He pouches with ease and with that, breaks the fiery opening stand of 71. In the previous match, Soumya Sarkar's dismissal saw a collapse in the Bangladesh batting line-up. Are we going to see a repeat of that? 71/1

13.1 OUT! Bowled 'em! Sanjaya spears in a very full ball around off, Rahman gets across the stumps to flick on the leg side but misses. It nips away a bit, beats his willow and destroys his stumps. Sanjaya is pumped up. A big wicket as Sabbir can get dangerous later in the innings. 124/3

16 OUT! Shakib is bowled! A big wicket at this stage! Kulasekara angles in a full length ball from around the wickets, it's in the line of the sticks as Shakib shuffles across to play a cheeky paddle shot. Fails to connect and it disturbs the leg pole. A handy knock by him but Bangladesh needed him to stay till the end. 139/4

17.1 OUT! Sound of timber! Perera has been very accurate by his standards. Sends across a very full ball in the line of the stumps, Mosaddek moves back to make room, tries to dig it out but misses. The stumps are shattered and it's a great start to the over. 152/5

18.3 OUT! Third bowled dismissal in this innings. Malinga outfoxes the batsman with his clever change in pace and serves it full in the line of the stumps, Rahim is a week early into his attempted slog, misses the ball completely and finds his off stump disturbed. The umpire checks for a no ball upstairs but it is fine. The quick cameo by Rahim is over quickly. 169/6

18.4 OUT! Two in two for Malinga and it's a sorry end with the bat for Mortaza in his final T20I match. Slinga once again deceives the batsman with a slower delivery, it's full and on middle, Mashrafe backs away to play it late down to third man but misses. The stumps take a beating yet again and Malinga is on fire. On a hat-trick now... 169/7

18.5 OUT! HAT-TRICK FOR LASITH MALINGA! The crowd has gone bonkers, what a bowler, what a genius bowler! Slower full ball around leg, straightening a bit, Hasan fails to pick the variation, misses to flick it out after getting across the stumps and is rapped on the pads. They appeal and the finger goes up immediately. Malinga lets out a huge roar in celebration. This is his fourth hat-trick in international cricket, first in T20Is. 169/8

20 OUT! Run out to end proceedings. Kulasekara angles in a full ball on off, Saifuddin digs it out straight back and comes running out in search of an impossible run. Nuwan calmly picks up the ball and scores a direct hit at the striker's end to find Mohammad short of the crease. BANGLADESH END ON 176/9! 176/9

0.2 OUT! SHAKIB STRIKES! Just the start Bangladesh needed. Beautiful bowling, that's a big wicket. The man who wreaked havoc in the last game has been dismissed on the second ball of the innings. Turning in from around off on a bit of a shorter length, Kusal Perera backs away to cut but ends up chopping it back onto the stumps. The bails are off, the Tigers celebrate and the southpaw will have to walk back. 4/1

2.3 OUT! SHAKIB STRIKES AGAIN! His second wicket in as many overs. He floats it up on off, Munaweera plays the slog sweep and gets a top edge on it. Lobs towards Mahmudullah at mid-wicket who runs a few paces behind to take an easy catch. Great start for Shakib and Bangladesh, the veteran is using his experience well in such a situation. 19/2

4.5 OUT! THE LANKAN SKIPPER DEPARTS! A bit shorter again, Tharanga goes for another pull and ends up top edging this back down the ground. Mehedi Hasan comes running in to his right from mid on and holds on to it safely. A poor shot from Tharanga, was struggling to score anyway and now has finally departed. 40/3

16.2 OUT! No is the answer! Kapugedera holes out. Rahman once again serves a clever slower delivery, 119 kph, full and around off, Chamara is early into his shot and lofts it in the air over mid on. Debutant Mehedi Hasan comes forward a bit from the deep and takes the catch nicely with a tumble. Sri Lanka's last hope departs. 123/8

5.1 OUT! GOLDEN DUCK FOR ASELA GUNARATNE! Mustafizur Rahman, you little beauty.... Gets a wicket on the first ball of his spell. He hurls across a fuller length ball, Gunaratne drives it hard on the up. Lobs it straight into the hands of Mosaddek Hossain at cover who fumbles and then takes the catch in the second attempt. It popped out from the region near the Adam's Apple and would have hurt Mosaddek. Anyway, a catch taken safely. 40/4

5.2 OUT! TWO IN TWO FOR MUSTAFIZUR! What's going on here? Sri Lanka are having a major collapse. Another golden duck and Mustafizur is now on a hat-trick. Almost a replica of the last delivery, full outside off, driven on the up to Soumya Sarkar at cover-point who catches it comfortably. Seems to have hurt himself in the process but seems fine. 40/5

12.5 OUT! Perera is stumped! Smart bowling by Shakib. He senses the charge from the batsman and bowls it wide outside off, Perera swings and misses. Rahim is quick to dislodge the bails, appeals and the umpire goes upstairs. Thisara is already walking and the replays show that he is short of the crease. Big blow to Sri Lanka. 79 needed off 43 balls! 98/6

15.5 OUT! Bowled! Mortaza finally gets one right and has a wicket. He angles in a full ball on middle, Prasanna gives it a mighty swing of his bat but fails to connect. It sneaks through him and destroys the stumps. The umpire quickly checks for the front foot no ball but Mashrafe is fine with his landing. 58 needed off 25 balls! 119/7

17 OUT! Fourth wicket for Rahman! You miss buddy and I hit! Malinga was just blindly swinging his blade and all Rahman needed to do was put it in the line of the stumps. Lasith misses and it shatters the stumps. End is nigh for Sri Lanka. 124/9

18 OUT! Bangladesh win by 45 runs to break their unfortunate 8-match losing streak! Fuller and on middle, Sanjaya gets deep inside the crease and tries to pump it over long off but fails to time his shot. It's aerial and Mahmudullah makes no mistake in the deep. The Bangladesh players are looking ecstatic and their supporters in the crowd are waving the flag. Mortaza is leading them off the park and is congratulated by the players from both sides. Lovely scenes. 131/10
