Rahim finishes it with a scorcher, he winds up and mows a length ball over deep midwicket, the only fifty of the evening, and a match-winning one all the way

That is it for today's round of games. Join us tomorrow for the lone game at 4 pm Sri Lanka time
Eranga is the Man of the Match for his three wickets.
Angelo: "We were wayward at the start, but our bowlers came back well. I thought 146 was par. Eranga was brilliant. Mushfiq is the Bangladesh captain, he knows what he is doing."
Dilshan: "We had a great start, after that we lost some wickets. We could have easily passed 160, we were short in the end. We dropped three catches, if you are defending 140 you cannot drop three catches. It is a little bit easier chasing on this pitch. The seam gets wet after a few overs." Dilshan is not well, he fielded wearing a pullover
Rahim says it was not an easy wicket to bat on, but he and Angelo thought that if they were able to have a partnership, that would help
Basnahira were 117 for 3 in the 16th over and were bowled out for 146. That is where they lost it, in the end.
Imran Nazir was doing shadow practice in the dying stages of the chase; he was prepared to come out to bat again, if needed. Should mean his injury - he had retired hurt clutching his side - is not very serious.
