Taskin has the new cherry in his hand. He has two slips in place
Bangladesh's players are out in the middle. Can UAE upset the apple-cart and cross the finish line? Or will the hosts register their first victory of the tournament? It won't be easy as the track is darting around.
Heath Streak: "We are going to have to bowl well. Yeah, I think everyone will have to play their part, including the fielders. We cannot afford dropped chances. It has been great, youngsters like Taskin and Mustafizur, Mashrafe brings in the experience."
It was Mithun who pinched singles and twos, and twinned it with the odd boundary to keep the scorecard ticking. However, he was run-out in rather curious circumstances. Shakib Al Hasan tried to pilot a recovery, but he was chugged down. In the last over, Mahmudullah then cracked a few lusty blows to give the bowlers something to defend. On the other hand, Naveed and Javed bowled with unremitting control for the UAE. But their fielding was not exactly up to the standards as they dropped quite a few chances. Join us in a while for UAE's innings..
Mohammad Mithun's well-constructed knock of 47, ensured the hosts finished with a decent total. On a track that assisted the seamers, UAE struck blows at regular intervals to clamp down on the scoring rate.

So, Bangladesh register a thumping win and this will keep the interest of the local crowd alive in the tournament. As far as the UAE are concerned, all they need to do is focus on their batting and fielding. We will wait and see how they go about in the coming matches. Tomorrow, it's the mother of all clashes as India take on Pakistan. Do not forget to join us for that game. Bye, take care!
Mashrafe Mortaza: Obviously, we were looking for 150. Last over was good for us, Mahmudullah played sensibly. We have got a good seam attack, there are two outside the team. As long as I play, I will do my best. He (Mustafizur) is enjoying his cricket, the first match was a bit tough for him but he came back well today. We will like to sort out a few issues in our batting.
Mahmudullah: I wanted to get strike in the 20th over. I wait for my zone, if I get it there, I go (Talking about his shot selection). My role is of a finisher here. Thanks to the fans for supporting us.
Mahmudullah is the Man of the Match for his 27-ball 36 and 2 wickets.
Amjad Javed: Yeah, we are making a habit of bowling out sides. Definitely playing against some experienced bowlers is tough for our batsmen. The conditions are similar to what we are playing in Dubai. The quality of the opposition bowling is high. India and Pakistan are the Asian giants, we would want to bowl well against them.
Earlier, Mohammad Mithun and Mahmudullah cracked well-measured knocks to lead Bangladesh to a challenging total. Naveed and Javed snapped up a couple of scalps each. Once they posted a handy total, it turned out to be a bridge too far for UAE. However, the credit has to go to Bangladesh for playing with a lot of intensity. Even their fielding was bang on the money. Mahmudullah snaffling a believe-it-or-not catch at backward point to dismiss Anwar encapsulates the point. Join us for the presentations...
For the second time in the tournament, UAE's batsmen didn't show the required application as they hurtled towards a heavy defeat. On a track that offered good carry and appreciable seam movement, most of the batsmen tried wild hacks and slogs and paid the price. Mustafizur was the best bowler on show. He flummoxed the UAE camp with a slew of slower ones. Mortaza, Shakib and Mahmudullah, too, chipped in with a couple of scalps each.
17.4 -
Shakib to Ahmed Raza, out Stumped!! Bangladesh win by 51 runs. UAE's misery comes to an end. Raza skipped down the track and was beaten in flight, did not even bother to look back as the keeper whipped the bails off. Bangladesh must be a relieved unit. It was a must-win game for them and they have a got a big one under their belt. This will boost their confidence ahead of big games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Mustafizur Rahman to Rohan Mustafa, no run, Rahman has taken a splendid return catch. The crowd roars in delight. Wait! The umpire is checking whether his front foot is fine. He looks fine there. Now, they are checking whether he took it cleanly. Hmm, now that is touch and go. He lands on the back of his palm and when he went down did the ball touch the ground? Was his body still moving when the ball hit the turf? Now, that is the question mark. Holy moly! Mustafa has been called back and he escapes. I think it was the right decision in the end as when he tumbled and the ball touched the ground, he had not yet completed the catch. His body was still moving. It was an off-cutter from Rahman, Mustafa is surprised by it as he tries to push it towards mid-off. He gets it high on the bat, the bowler himself runs to his right and seemed to have snaffled it with both hands. On replays, given not out
