Dasun Shanaka to Rishad Hossain
OUT! A wicket to begin the last over and the good thing is for Sri Lanka that Jaker will be off strike. Did Rishad need to go big? The ball though was there to be hit. Can't blame him. A low full toss outside off. Rishad lifts it but it goes off the bottom. The fielder at mid off runs to his left and takes it with a dive.

Dasun Shanaka to Jaker Ali
OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder! Pin-drop silence here in the stadium. Heart break for Ali. What a knock by him, he held the key for his side to get over the line. Shanaka though gets him and Lanka are ecstatic. Goes full and outside off. Ali looks to go over long off but since this is quite full, he does not get the elevation and holes out to the fielder there.

Dasun Shanaka to Shoriful Islam
An appeal but not given! Review is taken but that is a waste of a review. NOT OUT! That is missing off. A poor review. More in desperation we feel. Islam moves right outside off. Shanaka bowls it outside off. He swings but misses. It hits the pad and rolls on the off side. A leg bye taken. Four to tie, five to win for Bangla. Another other than that, it is Lanka.

Dasun Shanaka to Taskin Ahmed
Just the one! IT IS SRI LANKA WHO WIN! This is full and outside off. Ahmed looks to swing but gets an inside edge onto the pads. This rolls on the off side for one.
