he's finished it off with a yorker on middle and gets him lbw! Oh hang on, Taskin asks for a review. Taskin, a left-hander, tried to tuck the ball to leg but got his bat nowhere close to the ball and was trapped low and right in front of middle stump. The decision stays

22.07pm This match belonged to the Sri Lankan top order and the bowlers complemented the effort very well, winning the match by 92 runs. Bangladesh do have a strong batting order but Mushfiqur and Shakib came out pretty late and the RRR had climbed up a lot by then. Soumya tried initially, Sabbir chipped in with a fighting fifty at No. 8, but it wasn't enough.
Dilshan is the Man of the Match: Really happy today because in last game I got out on first ball. I'm enjoying every single moment in the middle and try to enjoy every ball there with the youngsters. Sanga is a great man, no doubt. With him I've had more than 14-15 hundred partnerships. With him I discussed how to build the partnership and the Powerplay. I also dropped one catch and it's part of the game, but I'm very happy how we came back and Malinga bowled well. We bowled and fielded well.
Mashrafe Mortaza: Fielding cost us but our bowlers were up to the mark and next match we will try to come up with good things. Dilshan and Sangakkara are great players, they showed us today. Without a win you can't think anything and I hope this is our worst game in the tournament.
Angelo Mathews: They [Dilshan and Sangakkara] were brilliant, they batted us through and Dilshan was amazing. It was a calculated effort and it was a clinical performance. I won't say clinical because we were slightly sloppy on the field, we could have done better. But once we got the runs bowlers got to bowl freely. It's important to peak at the right time and when it comes to the QFs, we'll take it one match at a time.
Sir Lanka go to second place in the points table now, just behind New Zealand. They should feel better about that. And that's the end of our coverage here, do join us for South Africa v West Indies tomorrow at 1430 Sydney time, 0330 GMT. It's goodbye and good luck from Vishal and Sidharth Monga, ciao!
