00:03well this has been an absolutely wonderful place to watch cricket we've had incredible games
00:08a thriller yesterday but today is the final match to be played at the grand prairie stadium
00:13in dallas texas the crowds have been phenomenal there was great support for nepal just a few
00:19days ago great support for pakistan and usa but today it's about sri lanka and bangladesh
00:25the two relatively new leaders leading these two sides in the t20 international format but they
00:31are very experienced players and was sri lanka won the toss which should say bangladesh who won
00:35the toss and said they would have a field first first time for bangladesh in the tournament sri
00:41lanka first game against south africa having played a series against uvsa was their first
00:56tournament they're meeting out here the pressure is on on both ticker and mover in the side and so
01:02overall it's a crunch game sri lans in matisha patirana and one tushara formed 11 they've been
01:08very good at the top of the order but not in the play each other so many times sri lanka
01:12of course
01:13have had the good on um relatively new captain leading the side now in this world cup
01:19in that group they'll be really determined you certainly do but the key here for sri lanka
01:26will be more batter friendly
01:30this one is he's been interested with the new ball
01:34maybe a little bit
01:37in on the pitches here in the usa
01:39look off
01:41pretty full
01:44brilliant
01:46oh that's a wonderful way to get things moving
01:49attacking straight away
01:53that's a tremendous strike the balance was great wrist work
01:58of age so he's young being entrusted to
02:02the probably are the women in the practice bangladesh you see they were at t20 world cups
02:08and also interesting so they obviously feel there's something in it here giving him the new ball
02:15well dear well dear
02:17that's very very clumsy and it's gone away for four five runs to the sri lancans
02:22that was a wayward thrill bangladesh just didn't need that
02:27well the guys backing up were in a straight line behind each other i think they could have done
02:31much better than this
02:35bottom
02:39there's only two feet of the zone outside the inner ring at this stage so there's a lot of gaps
02:44available
02:45actually controlled by kusal mendes not trying to hit it
02:52there's a lot of gaps available on the other side
02:52this time behind screen on the offside
02:54it's good from sri lanka
02:57shot and win
03:01oh wow
03:02a little chop run in the end
03:03i've got a lot going away of bangladesh
03:05and that'll get the spirits up
03:08i mean the decrease at number three
03:1325
03:14square of the wicket
03:17runs
03:18nice way to get off the mark
03:20sure is
03:21timing
03:22that was brilliant
03:24it just flies off the bat
03:25and
03:26it's all provided
03:28yeah
03:29can bowl with either arm
03:32it's time line
03:3325 for one
03:34on the board
03:35one down
03:38oh let's
03:40surprise tournament so far
03:41he can be
03:44yeah on the sun
03:45that scared it off the surface
03:46and probably got him on the
03:49oh what a lovely shot
03:50that's delightful to watch
03:54what a confident blow
03:57just looked in all sorts
03:59the previous delivery
04:00but he leans into this one
04:06back off a length
04:08in new york
04:09on these drop-in pitches
04:11this is one with the keeper
04:13captain or
04:16just stop looking at that option of firstly
04:18this movement was
04:20given to the batter
04:21because the ball is over
04:30it's a really good way
04:32to start it over
04:35he tosses the boundary
04:37in the first
04:38two balls
04:39and that's another one
04:40a half track at this one
04:41adjusting his line
04:42in length
04:43it's not working
04:44the ball is not going to
04:45shave or spin
04:47and he's just got to find
04:48that
04:51lovely awareness
04:52in the end
04:53from Mamadoula
04:53he hits the stumps
04:54that would have been number two
04:58boundaries are flowing
04:59at the moment
05:00this is just a little bit
05:01of a worry
05:01from Bangladesh's point of view
05:03but for Sri Lanka
05:03it's good
05:05yeah
05:05they need better than this
05:06from Shakabullah
05:07and he's
05:10he brings Longan up
05:11and he's still falling
05:13to get there
05:14there's Nsanka
05:14this is wonderful
05:16attacking batting
05:17fourth boundary
05:18of Diora
05:21six
05:2248
05:23the attack now
05:24they need him
05:25to do something quite special
05:26to get things back on track
05:28so what a perfect
05:31in the air

05:58slashed away
05:59four more runs
06:00bounds are coming

09:32bigger side of the
09:33ground
09:33he had to really
09:34hit hard
09:35and hit into the
09:36gap
09:36the fielder was
09:37coming in

10:06in this line-up
10:07nice mix as well
10:09a lot of variation
10:10within the attack
10:11whether it be the
10:12paces who are
10:12different from each
10:13other or the
10:13spinners who are
10:14different from each

11:52beautiful shot
11:53for four
11:53that is a
11:54fine strike
11:55indeed
11:55more

12:00beautiful shot
12:01lovely timing
12:02just
12:02crisp
12:03and beautiful
12:05boundary here
12:0649 to 3
12:11it's the
12:12stomach of the ball
12:12very special
12:13just wonderful
12:14to see
12:14because it's not
12:16that position
12:17if they can get
12:18a little bit
12:18looking for them
12:19which is sometimes
12:20many white balls
12:21and a little wave
12:22runs from this over
12:23so far
12:23going with the spin
12:25in the wrong
12:25and he's dispatched
12:26that for six
12:27they sort of
12:28had to do that
12:28to get some
12:29sort of rate
12:29going
12:30nine gone
12:3058 for three
12:31five
12:34but he's always
12:35reliable for a
12:36captain
12:38first over
12:39brought 12
12:40runs
12:40so good time
12:43that is a
12:44wonderfully
12:44controlled
12:45shot
12:47trying to just
12:48overheat it
12:50he's been there
12:52that means
12:53all's left
12:54at 70
12:58this is the way
12:58to play him
13:00you sometimes
13:01need to play him
13:02like he's an
13:02off spinner
13:03and it can be
13:03very effective
13:04I mean he's
13:07reading the wrong
13:07guns
13:08solid
13:09and he goes
13:10for another one
13:11just like the
13:11other one
