Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 5th Match at Dhaka, Feb 28 2016 - Match Result

11.15pm And that is that. Bangladesh join India with two wins, and a good, solid chance of getting into the final. An outstanding performance from them today. Tomorrow's game sees Pakistan taking on UAE. Do join us for that, and keep sending in your feedback. Until then, goodbye!

Mashrafe Mortaza: "T20 we have always struggled a bit. This was a good win for us, going forward. The wicket was pretty good to bat on, 147 you can still fight it out. After a couple of catches missed, we stood up and did our best. Wicket was on the slow side today. Shakib played a big role along with Mahmudullah, but Sabbir was brilliant."

Sabbir Rahman is the man of the match: "It was a good opportunity to come in early. I just rotated the strike and played to my strengths."

Angelo Mathews: "We could have just milked it around after we got the initial start. We just lost our way, and once we hit that 12-runs-an-over mark, we just kept losing wickets. Credit to Bangladesh for bowling and fielding well. We could have taken better options, but we kept losing wickets through the middle section. We have to be patient, it's a learning curve for all of us. It will be hard work, we'll need to beat India and Pakistan to qualify for the final, and we'll try our best."

Dinesh: "Bangladesh 2016 is like Sri Lanka 1996. Full of gutsy players whom the other teams cannot underestimate anymore.."

11.03pm This is the first time Bangladesh have beaten Sri Lanka in T20Is. This was the fifth meeting between the sides.

Mahmudullah says he needs to "talk with Mash", and get to bowl more regularly. He also credits the Sabbir-Shakib partnership for digging partnership out of a difficult situation. "Mustafiz really came good, because it was sticking up a bit, and with the new ball Al-Amin and Taskin were outstanding."

10.57pm What a performance this was from Bangladesh. They lost a heap of wickets at the top of the order, but Sabbir Rahman kept counterattacking, and made an outstanding 80 full of crisp cricketing shots. Still, 147 was only a par score, as Shakib Al Hasan admitted, but the bowlers were brilliant in defending it. Mustafizur wasn't just landing everything exactly where he wanted to, he also seemed to know exactly what the batsman's intentions were, every time. Al-Amin, Taskin and Mashrafe backed him up perfectly, and the spinners were outstanding on a slow deck, slowing it up, making the batsmen create all the power themselves. A disappointing batting display from Sri Lanka, it has to be said.

love - cricket : "There was a time Bangladesh used to depend heavily on spinners and there were not enough quality pacers. Things have changed!"

Mark: "It comes to something in T20 when you think that you can defend 100, 120 is a good target and 140 is just about impossible to chase. This is T20, but not as we know it, Jim."

Samia: "Best match of the tournament so far, don't you agree?"

Mustafizur has been absolutely magnificent. Only 19 off his four overs. It leaves Sri Lanka 32 to get from the final over. It's still possible, mathematically... Here's Al-Amin.

Here, finally, is Kapugedera, but the batsmen crossed over

Excellent over from Fizzy Mustafiz. Al-Amin comes on now.

The last four came in the seventh over. The last six in the eleventh.
