Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 6th match at Dhaka, Jan 25 2018 - Match Result
3.11pm "After a long time, we played out A game," says Dickwella." We just stuck to our plan and executed it well."
There it is. Sri Lanka set up a final with the hosts. After having conceded 320 just six days ago, Sri Lanka, led by Lakmal, skittled Bangladesh for 82. They did not even need the services of Akila Dananjaya. Danushka and Tharanga then had some fun in the chase to close out the match.
Mashrafe: Tamim and Shakib have been scoring runs. Mushy did well but hopefully the others will come up with good knocks. They are working hard, so we can't complain. Hopefully, the boys will deliver in the final. All the batters said it was a good wicket to bat on. Maybe the application wasn't there. It was a bad day and hopefully it does not count in the final.
Chandimal: Before the game, we had gameplans, credit goes to the players. We got the energy in the bowling - especially Suranga. Upul and Danushka finished it off well. Credit to them also.
Lakmal is the Man of the Match
That's a wrap of this match. Done in just 35.5 overs. Until next time, goodbye.
