All over. Charges down the track, has a heave and edges it to Mahela at first slip. Emphatic win for Sri Lanka. Murali and Mendis. What a potent combo. The latter half of Bangladesh couldn't handle the spicy combination. Double Jeopardy.

Full commentary
Ashraful: Sanath and Sanga played really well. The bowlers came back well after that, Our top order played well but we didn't carry on. I am batting well but need to carry on for some time. Murali is difficult to handle if you don't read the wrong un."
Man of the Match : Sanath Jayasuriya. "Since the IPL, I have come back to my form and I need to continue like this. What I can do is with do my stuff with bat and ball and people will realise that what they did was wrong [those who dropped him]. I feel good to be called a entertainer but what's most important to me is to make my team win. Individual performances are nice but Winning is the most important for me. Kumar is in good form, the bowlers are doing well and we need to continue.
Mahela : "We have played some good cricket in this tournament and we need to continue. We made a few mistakes today after that great start. Other than that we played very well. We might rest key players for the India game and the guys can get a longer break. Very disappointed with my performance. I am hitting well but not carrying on."
That's it from us. Good bye and Good luck.
