Emotions running high on the big stage
Always found Mahmudullah to be very classy as a player and as a person. And he’s been classy this last week in handling all the criticism that’s come his team’s way & the emotion on his face post the #Bangladesh anthem says a lot about him too #T20WorldCup #SLvBAN pic.twitter.com/4a0TH2OxOV

Chameera into the attack now...
15:41 (IST)
After 2 overs,Bangladesh 9/0 ( Mohammad Naim 3 , Liton Das 6)
It's a good start from Sri Lanka. Karunaratne bowled the first over and was disciplined with his lines. Concentrated on bowling it just outside off and stump to stump. Hit the good lengths repeatedly and gave away just two runs. Fernando then started off well with three Dots, bowling good length outside off. But then off the fourth ball, he strayed in line and drifted it on Liton Das' pads who flicked it fine to fine leg for thef first boundary of the innings. After a single, Naim drove one through extra cover for a couple. 7 runs off the second over. There was a hint of swing on offer for Binura Fernando.

Interesting!
Brave decision by SL to bowl first on a slow , low and tricky pitch.Both teams haven’t really got their batting firing until now.147 will be a challenging score if BAN can get there.They need a brisk start in powerplay.They need to be 47/1 after powerplay

Whoever wins will be dangerous contenders for a semi-final place. If you make the Super 12s, having played the first round might well be an advantage making teams more battle-hardened

'Every team needs to have close look at Sri Lanka,' says captain Shanaka
espite a build-up dogged by controversy and indifferent form, the 2014 champions are suddenly being mentioned as potential title winners.
Their well-balanced side, boasting two express fast bowlers, a mystery spinner and a cross-section of reliable run-getters, stormed through the first round.
"It's a simple message. The boys have done well, and they have shown their skills, and they have shown what they really can do in this tournament," said Shanaka on Saturday.
"They have made their mark in this tournament already, so every team has to have a close look at them, so it's really good for us."

Head to head
The only time these two have met in a T20 World Cup was way back in 2007. It ended up being a low scoring affair. Bangladesh put Sri Lanka into bat and restriced them to 147/5. In reply, the Sri Lankan pacers - Dilhara Fernando, Chaminda Vaas wreaked havoc to dismantle the top and middle order and then Sanath Jayasuriya chipped in with a couple of wickets to bundle Bangladesh out for just 83.
Overall, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have met 11 times and Sri Lanka have had an upper hand with 7, while Bangladesh have won just four times.
