What game of cricket it has been in Dubai at the Asia Cup 2022. Bangladesh dished out a better batting show as knocks from Mehidy Hasan Miraz (38), Afif Hossain (39) and a late surge by Mosaddek Hossain (24 not out) helped them to 183/7 in 20 overs. In reply, Sri Lanka were off to a flyer racing to 40-odd runs in the sixth over. However bangladesh pegged back with debutant Ebadot Hossain dismissing Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka in the final over of the powerplay. Bangladesh were right on top of the game with two more wickets as Sri Lanka were reeling at 77/4 in the ninth over. However, Kusal Mendis (60) and captain Dasun Shanaka (45) revived Sri Lankan hopes with a 54-run stand for the fifth wicket. The game tilted in Sri Lanka's favour when Ebadit conceded 22 runs in his third over as Sri Lanka romped home with four balls to spare. Sri Lanka thus became the third team after India and Afghanistan in the Super Four stage. The final team of Super Four stage will be determined by the winner between Pakistan and Hong Kong on Friday.

Massive massive monet for Bangladesh. Chamika Karunaratne, who just two fours in the over is run out by Shakib Al Hasan. A four to finish the over as SL need 8 from the last over. What a thrilling match it has been so far.
Three singles, a four and the muck-needed wicket of Dasun Shanaka for 45. Bangladesha celebrate as they got the priced wicket, caught by Mosaddek Hossain at long-on off Mahedi Hossain.
Nine runs come from Mustafizur Rahman's final over. Sri Lanka are 150/6 and meed 34 in the last three overs.
Another one bites the dust and Taskin Ahmed is everywhere. After taking a brilliant catch in the last over, Taskin strikes with the ball as Wanindu Hasaranga is out, caught by Mahedi Hasan in the boundary. Only four runs in the over from Taskin at this stage. SL 141/6 (16)
OUT. The partnership has been broken and it's Mustafizur Rahman with the wicket of Kusal Mendis, who departs for 60 off 37. Fizz slowers the pace while banging short and Mendis takes an upper cut only for Taskin Ahmed to take a brilliant catch at third man. SL 131/5 (14.3)
Fifty fir Kusal Mendis. Earlier, Dasun Shanaka hit a couple of sixes of Ebadot Hossain to also bring Sri Lanka's 100. 22 runs come from the over. SL 117/4 (13)

Dasun Shanaka has won the toss and Sri Lanka will bowl first.
After their loss to Afghanistan, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka called Bangladesh an 'easier opponent'. "We know Fizz (Mustafizur Rahman) is a good bowler. Shakib (Al Hasan) is a world-class bowler. But apart from them, there is no world-class bowler in the side. So if we compare with Afghanistan, Bangladesh is an easier opponent," Shanaka had said. In reply, Bangladesh director Khaled Mahmud countered by Shanaka. "I don`t know why Dasun made that comment. Definitely Afghanistan has a better squad. He said we have only two bowlers in our line-up, but I don`t see any bowlers in Sri Lanka. At least Bangladesh has world-class bowlers like Mustafiz and Shakib," Mahmud said.
Looks like it’s time for @OfficialSLC bowlers to show the class and batters to show who they are on the field..😉👍#AsiaCup2022 https://t.co/txWm7wH4nC

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have met 12 time in T20s with the former winning just four times. Bangladesh’s record in UAE isn’t good either. They have played six T20s in the region and lost all. Can they turn the table this time?
Hello and welcome to the first do-or-die game of Asia Cup 2022 between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The winner of the game joins Afghanistan in Super Four.
