that's the winning runs. An outside edge goes through the vacant first-slip region. Fuller on the stumps and Asalanka backs away and looks to push at it. A genuine edge that runs away for four

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
That's all from our side for this game. Now let's head over to India vs Pakistan in Dubai.
Mahneel: "Had the catch been taken off of Afif, the gamble would've worked and the captaincy would have been lauded. Fine margins, this game. Chin up boys, onto the next one."
Dasun Shanaka: It was not the easiest targets to chase but once batsmen are set, any target can be chased. It was an outstanding innings from Asalanka. It's very important that youngsters step up at this stage, it was really nice to see that.
Mahmudullah: I thought 171 could be defended. Liton and Naim gave us a very good start. Naim held the innings. Mushfiq played a brilliant innings. We were in the game till the tenth over. But things went wrong for us after that. We will correct that in the next game. We watched the IPL games and thought an extra spinner would help. The spinners bowled well but we missed a couple of chances. This game will boost up our batting unit and we are looking forward to the next game.
Azweer: "Bangladesh could be criticised today for poor fielding and moderate captaincy."
Charith Asalanka is the Player of the Match: It's happy to score a winning knock for my country. I am very happy right now. My friends back home will be very happy right now, they always back. When I faced the first ball, it looked like a good pitch and I backed myself to play my natural game. Rajapaksa played a brilliant knock and he changed the momentum. I want to keep it up and look forward to do the same for my country in the upcoming games.
5.35pm A thumping victory in the end for Sri Lanka, with five wickets and seven balls to spare. At one stage, with Sri Lanka needing 82 from eight overs, it looked like Bangladesh had the game in their grasp, especially with three overs from Mustafizur and two from Shakib in hand. But it all went awry from thereon, Sri Lanka took 31 from two overs to bring the asking rate down and then Saifuddin conceded 22 from the 16th. Bangladesh's fielders, mainly Liton, let them down as well.
