Halim tries to match Jaker's moves as well. Fractionally short and outside off, clubbed over midwicket for four. Fatuallah raises itself to a roar
SL Under-19 vs BAN Under-19, 3rd Place Play-off at Fatullah, Feb 13 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
BAN Under-19 won by 3 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
Asalanka: I am really disappointed. I expected us to be the champions. We have ended with fourth place. We were short by 20 runs when batting. We made a few mistakes in the field as well. We will have to play well for SL development team and A team. We have enjoyed this tournament. The match against England was very memorable for me.
Mehedi, again: I am really happy. It is a good achievement for us. I think the previous match we had a bad day. Tamim, Shakib bhai have supported us well. This tournament lots of pressure, we had the crowd and expectation. It is a good memory for us. I am proud of the team. I hope they make national team in one or team years.
Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Man of the Match: I am really happy. I bowled well and the I got support. The wicket as good, sometimes there was turn, sometimes the ball did not come on. I was worried after the run-outs.
Phew, three run-outs saw the match swing from one end to the other. But Jaker, who had to be stretchered off the field in the 15th over, came back and sealed the deal for the hosts. Thanks for your company. Do come back for the title clash tomorrow. Cheerio
