Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup 2022 Highlights: Sri Lanka have come back from their batting debacle against Afghanistan to complete their second highest T20I chase of all time.

Kusal Mendis was the highest scorer for Sri Lanka having made 60 off 37 balls while captain Dasun Shanaka made 45 off 33 balls. Their partnership put Sri Lanka on top in a game in which momentum swung both ways on a number of occasions

Sep 1, 2022 11:11 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: FOUR!

Chamika Karunaratne gets inside the line of Ebadot Hossain's delivery and puts it behind square. And then it gets worse for Bangladesh, it's a no-ball and a free-hit! SL need 16 off 10!

Sep 1, 2022 11:05 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: OUT! AND SHANAKA FALLS!

Is that the game? Shanaka smashes it down the ground and Mosaddek takes the catch.

Wide full toss from the spinner Mahedi and Shanaka smacks it through covers. 

Sep 1, 2022 11:02 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: Sri Lanka 150/6 in 17 overs

They need 34 to win off the last 18 balls. Mustafizur's spell is over, as is Taskin's and Shakib's. It means Shakib will have to use Miraz, Mehidy and Ebadot in whichever order for the last three. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:54 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: GONE! Hasaranga is next!

Hasaranga trying to hit it over extra cover, ends up hitting it straight into the hands of deep cover. It is all unravelling too quickly now for Sri Lanka, Keep Taskin Ahmed out of the game today if you can!

Hasaranga c Mahedi Hasan b Taskin Ahmed 2 (3), SL 139/6 in 15.3 overs, need 45 to win off 27 balls

Sep 1, 2022 10:50 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: FOUR! Good over spoiled

Leg cutter, third man is up and Shanaka just cuts it past that fielder. Easy pickings for him, he moves to 31 off 22. 

Sri Lanka 137/5, need 47 to win from 30 balls. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:48 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: GONE! IT'S MENDIS!

Mustafizur brought in and he makes the difference, a diving Taskin once again taking the important catch. Short outside off, Mendis ramps but doesn't get all of it, Taskin runs in from third man, dives forward and takes the catch again.  

Mendis c Taskin Ahmed b Mustafizur Rahman 60 (37), SL 131/5 in 14.3 overs

Sep 1, 2022 10:44 PM IST

Five singles in the 14th over and then Mendis finishes it with a six over bowler Mehidy Hasan Miraz's head. The partnership is now 51 runs in 32 balls. Sri Lanka are 128/4 in 14 overs, need 56 to win off 36.

Sep 1, 2022 10:40 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: 50 for Mendis!

He has been lucky but the fact remains that this has been some innings from Mendis, delivering on the big stage. 22 runs came off Ebadot's over. A bit of everything for him today, he dominated the powerplay overs and took three wickets but has been taken apart here. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:38 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: 16 runs off the first two balls of the 13th!

Taskin started the over with a wide, then the two sixes, and then the wide. Then Ebadot bowls a no ball, although that short delivery was quite close to Kusal Mendis's bat. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:36 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: SIX AGAIN! Shanaka on a roll!

Short and Shanaka puts it over deep square leg. Incredible batting from the Sri Lanka captain. This is followed by a wide delivery from Ebadot so pressure on him now. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:35 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: SIX! Much needed from Shanaka!

Over 140kph from Ebadot, in the batter's half and Shanaka finally gets the ball over the boundary. Brilliant shot from the Sri Lanka captain, that would help his strike rate and the required rate, which has crept up over 10. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:28 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: Run out chance missed!

Mendis is the luckiest batter in the planet today. Shanaka taps it straight to midwicket, Mendis for some reason darts out for a run. Shanaka sends him back and he was miles off the crease when the throw came. But it was no direct hit and he lives, again. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:26 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: FOUR! 

Length delivery from Taskin, Mendis hits it through the line over the bowler's head for boundary. He moves to 43 off 25. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:18 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: OUT! Rajapaksa has to go!

Straight down third man's throat, Taskin having quite a night so far. Rajapaksa trying to ramp it but there wasn't quite enough on it. Third man is right there to take the catch.   

Rajapaksa c sub (Mohammad Naim) b Taskin Ahmed 2 (4), Sri Lanka 77/4 in 8.5 overs 

Sep 1, 2022 10:15 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: FOUR!

Mendis uses Taskin's pace and cuts it square. The pacer offers a little bit of length with that express pace of his and Mendis only needs to get a bat on it. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:09 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: GONE! What a catch from Taskin!

That is quite a catch and the wicket really should be awarded to Taskin Ahmed. He stops the wicketkeeper from taking the catch and Mushfiqur wisely pulls out because Taskin then puts in a full stretch dive forward to take the catch. Gunathilaka had tried a pull and had only got a top edge.   

Gunathilaka c Taskin Ahmed b Ebadot Hossain 11 (6), Sri Lanka 67/3 in 7.4 overs

Sep 1, 2022 10:04 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: WICKET BUT IT'S A NO-BALL!

Kusal Mendis gets a second lease at life after Mahedi Hasan oversteps. He went for a slog sweep and edged it to the keeper standing right behind. They are all celebrating, umpire raises the finger but then Kusal is asked to stand by. As it turns out Mahedi, a spinner, had overstepped. 

Sep 1, 2022 10:01 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR!

Mehidy taking the pace off, hoping that would get Gunathilaka in a tangle but not really. He cuts it between backward point and short third. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:57 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: OUT! 2 wickets in Ebadot's first ever T20I over!

What a start to his T20I career. Short of a length, Asalanka comes down the track and only puts it into the hands of the man at mid-off. 

Asalanka c Mahmudullah b Ebadot Hossain 1 (3), Sri Lanka 48/2 in 6 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:53 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: GONE! Nissanka falls!

Short from Ebadot Hossain, it comes on to Nissanka too quickly and he completely miscues the pull shot. The ball floats nicely into the hands of midwicket. 

Nissanka c Mustafizur Rahman b Ebadot Hossain 20 (19), SL 45/1 in 5.3 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:51 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: 18 runs off Shakib's over!

This puts Bangladesh in an awkward position. Mendis hit a four to follow up on the six before taking a single off the last ball. Sri Lanka are 44/0 in five overs, Kusal Mendis 23 off 13, Nissanka on 20 off 17. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:50 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: SIX AGAIN!

Another slog sweep, this time straighter and it goes over cow corner. Mendis has hit the highest T20I wicket taker of all time for back to back sixes!

Sep 1, 2022 9:49 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: SIX! Mendis goes after Shakib! 

Shakib has been the speed breaker so far but this time Mendis nails the slog sweep and deposits it past deep midwicket!

Sep 1, 2022 9:45 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR! 

2nd boundary of the over. Slower delivery from the Fizz and Nissanka picks it up well, scoops it over fine leg for four. Sri Lanka 25/0 in 3.4 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:43 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: SIX! Nissanka middles it!

Mustafizur pitches it up and Nissanka nails that shot over mid-wicket, clearing the front leg and all that. Much needed boundary, it has been a steady but slow start to this chase. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:39 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: DROPPED! Sri Lanka 9/0

This match is turning out to be a bit of a neutral's dream at the moment. Hard slash from Mendis, takes the outside edge and Mushfiqur dives to his right, gets both gloves on it while in the air but is not able to hold on. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:38 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: FOUR! First boundary of the innings

Taskin strays down the pads and Nissanka doesn't miss out on that opportunity. picked up to the fine leg boundary, Sri Lanka 9/0. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:34 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: Just 2 runs off the 1st over

Exactly the kind of start Bangladesh would have wanted. Two singles off the third and fourth ball is all the batters could get from Mustafizur's over.

Sep 1, 2022 9:31 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: Players are back and drama straightaway!

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis open for Sri Lanka with the former on strike, Mustafizur Rahman has the ball in his hands and a huge LBW appeal off the first ball itself. The umpire says not out and then there is a chance for a run out but the batters decide to not take the suicide run. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:28 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: A team effort in the end

No half centuries in the Bangladesh innings, in fact not a single player went past 40, and yet they have managed to set Sri Lanka a target of 184. This is the third highest score by any team in T20Is with none of their players scoring over 40 runs. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:20 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: Bangladesh 183/7 in 20 overs

That is just sensational hitting from Bangladesh in the end in an innings that swung both ways all the time. Mosaddek has scored 24 off just nine balls here. That could be a match-winning innings but let's not forget Afif Hossain and Mahmudullah. It has been a good first half of the game for Bangladesh but Sri Lanka have not been extremely far behind. What a chase we have in our hands. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:20 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR! Shot from Mosaddek

Length ball outside off and Mosaddek smashes it down the ground. No stopping that one. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:18 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: FOUR! Misfield from the SL captain!

That is just terrible but the fielder won't be getting any grief from the captain as it is the captain who makes the gaffe! The ball is punched by Mosaddek to extra cover, Shanaka somehow lets the ball slip right through his hands and it goes for four. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:17 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: SIX! 

Well, well, well Taskin Ahmed. He is deep in his crease and he goes for an almighty heave over wide long off. That is a good start to the over being bowled by Asitha Fernando, right off the second ball. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:15 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: Bangladesh 166/7 in 19 overs 

Just seven runs in the 19th and so Sri Lanka did pretty well to pull things back. Taskin Ahmed is the new batter and he will be on strike and not Mosaddek in the beginning of the 20th over at least. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:12 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: OUT! Wicket off the first ball again for Karunaratne

Mahedi tries to work it on the on-side and is plumb. The batter does take the review, why not, and, as expected, there are three reds all along. A bit farcical as the producer shows the ball tracking before ultra edge and so we got to see the ball tracking twice. 

Mahedi Hasan lbw b Karunaratne 1 (2), Bangladesh 159/7 in 18.1 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:09 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: Bangladesh 159/6 in 18 overs

Mahmudullah may have fallen in that over but it also produced 12 runs, with Mosaddek Hossain hitting two fours in it. Hasaranga has conceded 41 runs in his four overs. 

Sep 1, 2022 9:05 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: OUT! Now Mahmudullah goes

Hasaranga strikes with his first ball of the over. Mahmudullah looking for the big slog off a tossed up delivery, gets a top edge that is taken at deep midwicket. 

Mahmudullah c Karunaratne b Hasaranga 27 (22), Bangladesh 147/6 in 17.1 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:02 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: OUT! That's it for Afif

Slow length ball on middle from Madushanja, Afif looks to go straight but ends up putting it straight down the throat of the fielder at cow corner. 

Hossain c de Silva b Madushanka 39 (22), Bangladesh 144/5 in 16.4 overs

Sep 1, 2022 9:00 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: FOUR! 

Poor delivery down leg from Madushanka and Afif flicks it over short fine leg. 180-190 is now a realistic score for Bangladesh to target. 

Sep 1, 2022 8:56 PM IST

SL vs BAN Live: SIX! Oh what a shot from Afif

Slow, short of a length on middle and Afif nails the pull over backward square. He has put Bangladesh in the driver's seat now. 

Sep 1, 2022 8:51 PM IST

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2022 Live: 14 runs off the 15th over!

Not everyday you see Hasaranga go for double digits but that is what has happened. Bangladesh are now 123/4 in 15 overs. 

Sep 1, 2022 8:50 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup live: FOUR!

Right after that six, Mahmudullah goes over extra cover for a boundary. Another good start to a partnership for Bangladesh. Let's see if this one makes a bigger difference than a flicker. 

Sep 1, 2022 8:50 PM IST

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live: SIX! 

Mahmadullah picks the wrong 'un and sweeps it over square leg for a maximum. That should help his strike rate a bit, he moves to 8 off 11 after that six.
