Bangladesh vs Malaysia, 4th Quarter-Final at Hangzhou, Asian Games (M), Oct 04 2023 - Match Result

Bangladesh win, and they do so by the skin of their teeth! They are into the semi-final of the Asian Games, and spare a thought for Malaysia! Excellent yorker on off stump. Anwar cannot get under it and he slogs it straight to deep mid wicket. Just a single, and the hearts of the Malaysian cricket fans sink. Bangladesh fans, meanwhile, rejoice, and they have really pulled this one out of the fire!

into the blockhole outside off. Idrus gives it everything he has but can only drag it towards deep mid wicket

taken at long on! Virandeep bites the dust, and he is absolutely distraught! Full and hung outside Virandeep's hitting arc. He tries to muscle it over long on but can only hit it down the fielder's throat. Long on just about held onto that - in fact, it was a combination of his hands and left thigh that got the job done! What a moment in this game!

slowed up beautifully on a length outside off. Virandeep loses his shape and swings wildly. Misses and the ball hits him on the body

full and fired well outside off. Virandeep leaves it but because he has shuffled across, the umpire does not call it a wide. Right call, in my opinion!

back of a length outside off. Virandeep dabs it towards short third man. Dot ball to start the over!

goes for the reverse first up! Length on middle and off. Anwar does not get the purchase he is after but manages to get it over the keeper. Single not taken, though

bowled'im around his legs! Full and darted into leg stump. Hafizs, knowing the finish line is close, tries to paddle sweep it. Does not get any bat on it, though, and the ball sneaks past the bat before smashing into leg stump. A very useful cameo but he would have loved to have finished the job!

looped up invitingly outside off. Hafizs tries to finish it with one blow but only has a fresh-air swing

fired in quicker and angled into leg stump. Virandeep works it into the on side for one

tossed up outside off. Virandeep goes searching for this a little away from his body and gets beaten

deftly done! And he gets to fifty too! Shortish outside off. Virandeep sits deep in his crease and peels the outer cover off the ball, scything it between backward point and short third

length on middle and leg. Hafizs thinks about the reverse initially before changing his mind several times. In the end, he dabs it towards what was originally short fine leg, while being in a left-handed position

length just outside off. Virandeep tips it into the off side and Hafizs responds. Lackadaisical fielding by Bangladesh. That should never be a run

well well! Full on off stump. Hafizs gets into position for the scoop early and gets it over the keeper's head. Bags a single for his toil

full outside off. Virandeep stretches forward and eases it into the off side for a single. Smart batting!

length just outside off. Hafizs looks for the big slog sweep but makes no contact. Pings off his body into the off side for a leg bye. That might have hit him on the helmet, actually

oh my! Flighted up nicely just outside off. Hafizs goes searching for it and is beaten as the ball spins sharply past the inside edge. The keeper cannot gather, though, and Malaysia get two byes

back of a length on off stump. Hafizs stays back and pulls it away towards deep mid wicket

four more! Long hop outside off. Hafizs has all the time in the world to rock back and crunch it past deep mid wicket!
