that is four past the keeper's left, and Sri Lanka are eliminated from this World Cup! Tanzim walked down a few steps, even as Mathews bowled short while angling it into him. The ball finished outside leg, as Tanzim tickled it behind off his pads, playing it wide of the keeper

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
So the day had started with fear of an abandoned or a shortened game because of the air pollution in Delhi. But very quickly, the topic of discussion became Angelo Mathews' unwanted feat of becoming the first to be timed-out in international cricket. Amid all this, we could forget about Bangladesh's first win over Sri Lanka in ODI World Cups - and Asalanka's century in vain - as the points table got a shake up. If not the World Cup, there is the Champions Trophy to play for. We are at the business end of this tournament, so do join us for the action tomorrow. Until then, it's goodbye and good night from us! Thanks for joining.
Shakib Al Hasan, now as captain: "When I won the toss, I didn't have any hesitation in bowling first because we had trained here [in the dew]. We had to bat deep. Luckily we got a big partnership. Shanto and I applied ourselves really well. We would have loved to finish early - with lesser wickets [lost] - but a win is a win. One of our fielders came to me and said that if I appealed, he would be out. The umpire asked me if I was serious. It's in the laws; I don't know if it's right or wrong. I felt like I was at war. Whatever I had to do, I did it. There will be debates. Today that (the time out) helped, I won't deny that!"
Kusal Mendis: "Charith played a brilliant innings, but we were 30-40 runs short; 320 would have been good enough on this wicket. I'm happy that Pathum, Sadeera and Dilshan are coming through. I think in the future we'll have a very good team which shows promise. We had a couple of injuries, and that was the reason we had so many changes and newcomers. But we also made mistakes; had we played better cricket, we would have a better chance of entering the top four. It's very disappointing. When Mathews came to the crease, there were five seconds left. When he came out, he found out about the strap of the helmet. It was disappointing. We expected him to score runs for us; it's disappointing that the umpires couldn't step in and make good decisions."
Time for the presentations
Murali: "Afg officially made it to Champions trophy" --- Yup, true
Shakib Al Hasan is the Player of the Match: "There wasn't much for the bowlers. We bowled well up front. There were short boundaries. Bowling, we have always felt, wins us more matches. We knew we could fight back. We kept on believing. The ground dimension helped [while batting]. A few shots came off, and I never looked back. We could have been consistent; that is the one disappointment."
Nazmus : "Winning runs off Mathews' ball. Add that to the list of poetic ironies"
Manu Ajmani: "Bangladesh just made the match interesting for a few seconds there... Phew!"
9.57pm Bangladesh hunt down 280 in what is first victory over Sri Lanka in five attempts in an ODI World Cup. That not only ends Sri Lanka's campaign in this World Cup, but also keeps Bangladesh afloat for a spot in the Champions Trophy in 2025. What was 210 for 2 at one stage become 269 for 7 as Bangldesh stuttered and Sri Lanka hoped for a miracle, but Shanto's 90 and Shakib's 82 had set up a solid base already.

Theekshana to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 4 leg byes
four leg byes! But Mendis reviews, more out of hope than expectation. It was bowled very full, sliding down the leg side. Tanzim looked to flick but missed, with the ball beating the inside edge before brushing his front pad and rolling away behind the wicket. Impact was outside leg, and so it's not out

Theekshana to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, FOUR runs
very full on the stumps, and he gets four! He just lofted that with the line, barely even timing it. But I think the pace on the ball must have helped in taking it over the bowler's head

Theekshana to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT
taken at long-off! Mehidy goes for the big hit, but ends up gifting it away to Sri Lanka. That was hit hard and flat though, but bang where Asalanka was placed. Mehidy seemed to make a bit of room, and lofted this full delivery on the stumps with the full face of the bat. The ball took off, but not up to the distance he would like

Madushanka to Towhid Hridoy, 3 runs
it becomes a high full toss, although Hridoy was down the pitch. The ball landed on top of off, and was slapped to deep backward point. The throw which arrived at the bowler's end was wide, and they pinch a third. Hridoy wanted it to be an above-waist no-ball, but it's not called since he was down the pitch

Madushanka to Towhid Hridoy, SIX runs

Theekshana to Mahmudullah, OUT
bowled him! Fires a yorker on off stump at 103kph, and has Mahmudullah cleaned up. Mahmudullah all but seemed prepared to launch that, as his backlift suggested. But he seemed surprised by the length of the ball - as much as by the pace on it - with his attempted flat-batted jam only resulting in him missing the ball
