19.1 - Rohan Mustafa to Mahmudullah, FOUR, tossed up delivery and Mahmudullah takes it on the full, laps it delicately past the fielder at short fine leg, good start to the over for Mahmudullah

16.3 - Shahzad to Shakib, FOUR, Shakib moves outside the line of the delivery, the bowler kept it full outside off and Shakib wanted to squeeze it from well outside leg, got a thick inside edge that rolled past the keeper into the fine leg fence

11.3 - Rohan Mustafa to Mithun, FOUR, waits for this flatter delivery and Mithun cuts it past backward point with ease, played the shot quite late this time

7.5 - Shahzad to Mithun, FOUR, Mithun again shuffles across his stumps and flicks a delivery that was bowled down the leg-side to the fine leg boundary. He got inside the line of the ball nicely there

4.5 - Amjad Javed to Mithun, FOUR, short and wide delivery from Javed, Mithun cracks the cut square on the off-side. It catapults to the fence

3.5 - Naveed to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, fuller length delivery and just outside off, Sarkar shows the full face of the blade and drives it to the long-off fence

2.1 - Shahzad to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, poor delivery to start with from Shahzad. Short of a length delivery that was speared down leg, Sarkar helps himself to a boundary with a pick up shot to fine leg

1.1 - Amjad Javed to Mithun, FOUR, not a great start for Javed. He drifts it down the leg-side, Mithun nudges it past the short fine fielder and it bullets to the fence. He rolled his wrists on that delivery well

19.4 - Rohan Mustafa to Mahmudullah, SIX, bowls it full and Mahmudullah sees his spot, swings across the line and gets a lot of meat behind that one, it sails well over the deep mid-wicket fence

14.1 - Amjad Javed to Mahmudullah, SIX, this has been hit with disdain, no respect for the bowler whatsoever, back of a length delivery on the stumps and Mahmudullah saw it early, hoicked it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum

7.4 - Shahzad to Mithun, SIX, fabulous shot by Mithun. He shuffles across his sticks and then whips a fullish delivery over the deep backward square leg fence. He timed that one to perfection

5.1 - Shahzad to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, now, that is a glorious strike from Sarkar. Sarkar comes forward and pulls this delivery that was bowled down the leg-side over the deep mid-wicket boundary. It came right off the screws there

4.4 - Amjad Javed to Mithun, SIX, Mithun clubs this back of a length delivery to the mid-wicket fence. Stand and deliver stuff from Mithun

20.0 - Rohan Mustafa to Mahmudullah, out Taskin Ahmed Run Out!! 1 run completed. This time though, Taskin Ahmed falls short of the crease at the bowler's end, Mahmudullah went hard on the drive and got it through the extra cover region, the fielder from sweeper cover, ran in quickly and rifled the throw at the bowler's end, where Taskin Ahmed, despite the stretch, failed to make his ground. Taskin Ahmed run out (Saqlain Haider/Rohan Mustafa) 1(2)

18.2 - Naveed to Mortaza, out Caught by Fahad Tariq!! Slower delivery and the Bangladeshi captain would be dejected, he hit this one well but did not get the elevation on it, hit it to long-off, who ran in quickly to catch it near his knee, Bangladesh have lost the plot in the last 3-4 overs. Mortaza c Fahad Tariq b Naveed 0(3)

17.3 - Amjad Javed to Nurul Hasan, out Caught by Fahad Tariq!! Two in two for Javed, Nurul Hasan was included in the side in place of Imrul Kayes and he goes for a golden duck, did not bother to get his eye in the middle and threw the kitchen sink at a length delivery, did not time it at all and the ball lobbed off the inside part to the fielder at long-on who ran in to clasp it with both hands. Nurul Hasan c Fahad Tariq b Amjad Javed 0(1)

17.2 - Amjad Javed to Shakib, out Bowled!! That is unfortunate from Shakib's perspective, it was a juicy full toss from round the wicket, Shakib swung across the line and missed it completely, the ball dipped in and crashed on the leg-stump. The umpires check for the front foot of the bowler, which was fine and Shakib has to walk back. How big is that wicket at this moment? Shakib b Amjad Javed 13(13) [4s-1]

12.3 - Naveed to Rahim, out Caught by Swapnil Patil!! The back of a length delivery has done the trick for Naveed, was not a great delivery but the extra bounce on it outfoxed Rahim, it was well outside off and Rahim went for the cut, did not get on top of the bounce and got it off the upper edge, the keeper accepted the gift gleefully. Rahim c Swapnil Patil b Naveed 4(8)

11.4 - Rohan Mustafa to Mithun, out Run Out!! What happened there? He has been run out, funny dismissal indeed, Mithun had no idea what happened there. He wanted to pat this one into the off-side and kept moving with the shot, the ball rolled back to the keeper after hitting the inner part of his bat, the keeper was quick to react and whipped the bails off to catch him short of the crease. Mithun run out (Swapnil Patil) 47(41) [4s-4 6s-2]

9.3 - Rohan Mustafa to S Rahman, out Caught by Fahad Tariq!! In an attempt to up the ante, Rahman waltzes down the track to a delivery that was bowled slightly slower through the air. However, he flicks it straight to the man at deep mid-wicket, who did not have to move an inch to pouch it with both hands. Mustafa has struck a crucial blow in the first over itself. S Rahman c Fahad Tariq b Rohan Mustafa 6(12)

5.2 - Shahzad to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Amjad Javed!! The first incision has been made. It is Sarkar who has been chugged down. He looked to bury a length delivery straight down the ground, but could only hit it straight to Amjad Javed, the captain, at mid-on, who snaffled it with two hands. After dropping a couple of chances, UAE will be pleased to pick up a scalp. Soumya Sarkar c Amjad Javed b Shahzad 21(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

19.5 - Rohan Mustafa to Mahmudullah, 2 runs, full toss and Mahmudullah goes hard at this one, did not time it well and it falls in front of long-off, Taskin Ahmed responded to the call for the second run and made it in the end. Mustafa didn't collect the ball, had he done so and whipped the bails off, Taskin was a goner

4.3 - Amjad Javed to Soumya Sarkar, 2 runs, well, the fielder at third man has now dropped a chance. Sarkar charges down and swings across the line. He got thickish outside edge towards third man. The fielder ran forward, dived but despite his best efforts, the ball slips out of his hands. In fact, the ball landed just in front of the fielder

4.1 - Amjad Javed to Mithun, 2 runs, the fielder at mid-off has made a mess of an easy chance there. Lazy effort from him. shortish delivery from Javed, Mithun looked to pull and eked out a top-edge. The fielder at mid-off was late in getting to the ball running backwards and never looked like pouching a catch. The duo pinch a couple of runs

3.3 - Naveed to Mithun, 1 run, now, if the fielder at gully had hit at the batsman's end with a direct-hit, Sarkar would have been dismissed. Mithun gets an inside edge on a fullish delivery that was bowled on the stumps to gully and the non-striker calls for a quick single. However, the fielder at gully despite swooping down on the ball quickly and underarming the throw at the striker's end, misses. Sarkar did put in a desperate dive, but he still would not have made it

16.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Naveed, FOUR, fullish delivery, a crossed seam one, Naveed cracked hard at it and got a thick outside edge to the lone slip fielder, it went a touch high to his right, he jumped to grasp it, jumped too high and got hit on the forearms, the ball raced through away to the third man fence. This was Soumya Sarkar's second drop of the match

15.4 - Taskin Ahmed to Naveed, FOUR, it came off the toe end of the bat but has enough legs to cross the fence, length delivery outside off and Naveed clears his front leg, cracks off the toe end through the cover region, the ball rolls along the carpet into the deep extra cover fence

11.5 - Shakib to Muhammad Usman, FOUR, drifted down the leg-side, Usman gets low and sweeps to beat the fielder at short fine leg, the ball races away to the fence

8.2 - Mortaza to Muhammad Usman, FOUR, this one comes back into Usman, Usman plays a half-hearted cut shot and it flies past the off-stump to the fine leg fence. I can describe that as a french cut

4.3 - Mortaza to Rohan Mustafa, FOUR, short and wide delivery, Mustafa blazes the cut and it catapults square on the off-side. No need to run for those

3.5 - Mustafizur Rahman to Rohan Mustafa, FOUR, fuller length delivery and just outside off, Mustafa cracks the drive to the deep extra cover fence

3.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Shahzad, FOUR, a touch of width on offer, Shahzad stays slightly leg-side of the ball and cracks the cut to the sweeper cover fence. Stand and deliver stuff from Shahzad

15.1 - Taskin Ahmed to Muhammad Usman, SIX, short delivery and Usman moves inside the line of the delivery, pulls it perfectly and it sails over the fine leg fence, the fielder there leapt high but could not get fingers to it

13.4 - Shakib to Muhammad Usman, SIX, juicy full toss and Usman does not miss out on that one, swings across the line and sends it over the deep backward square leg fence

5.4 - Al-Amin to Shahzad, SIX, now, that was a meaty blow from Shahzad. He is a powerful lad for sure. With poise and balance, Shahzad lofts a fuller length delivery straight down the ground and it clears the boundary rope with ease

3.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Rohan Mustafa, SIX, crackerjack shot from Mustafa. Mustafa gets inside the line of the ball to a back of a length delivery that was sliding down leg and whips it over the deep backward square leg fence for a maximum

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. Ahmed Raza st Nurul Hasan b Shakib 5(14)

15.3 - Taskin Ahmed to Muhammad Usman, out Bowled!! That is a great delivery and Usman has no answers to it, the ball was a length delivery and slanted across Usman, he might have played inside the line of it a touch as he looked to defend it from the crease, the ball just sneaked past the outside edge and uprooted his off-pole. Muhammad Usman b Taskin Ahmed 30(30) [4s-2 6s-2]

12.5 - Mahmudullah to Saqlain Haider, out Caught by Mortaza!! Good shot this one, the only bad thing was that he hit it straight to the fielder at short extra cover, made room as he came down the track on this tossed up delivery to go inside out on the drive, got it off the meat of the bat, but just could not get it in the gap and handed a dolly to the opposition captain. Saqlain Haider c Mortaza b Mahmudullah 2(4)

11.2 - Shakib to Fahad Tariq, out Stumped!! As easy as they come, flighted delivery and Tariq comes down the track to loft it over the bowler's head, gets completely beaten in the flight and misses, the ball even turned away a bit and the keeper has the easiest of stumping chances. This is getting over quicker than we expected. Fahad Tariq st Nurul Hasan b Shakib 0(2)

10.5 - Mahmudullah to Amjad Javed, out Hit Wkt!! How often do we see that? Not very often, but it is one of the strangest ways to get dismissed in cricket, Mahmudullah came over the wicket and kept it on the stumps, Javed nudged it to short fine leg and set off, slipped in the crease and his left leg disturbed the stumps, when things aren't going your way, you tend to get out in these sort of fashions. Amjad Javed hit wkt b Mahmudullah 3(10)

7.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Swapnil Patil, out Caught by Mortaza!! Rahman is bowling a slew of slower ones and the opposition ranks don't have a clue while facing him. Another well-disguised slower one from Rahman, Patil too closed the bat face and eked out a leading edge to mid-on who took a very easy catch. Rahman is now on a hat-trick. Swapnil Patil c Mortaza b Mustafizur Rahman 0(1)

7.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to Shahzad, out Caught&Bowled!! Rahman is famous for those off-cutters. He disguises it from the batsman's eyes pretty well. Here, he uses that delivery to befuddle Shahzad and he could only eke out a leading edge back to the bowler, who took an easy return catch. Shahzad closed the bat face to a slower one and got a leading edge back to Rahman. Shahzad c and b Mustafizur Rahman 12(12) [4s-1 6s-1]

6.1 - Mortaza to Shaiman Anwar, out Caught by Mahmudullah!! Mahmudullah has taken a superlative catch at backward point. His teammates rush to him to congratulate for the splendid catch that has been grabbed. Length delivery that left the right-hander a touch, Anwar closed the bat face too early as he perhaps tried to nudge it around the corner. He could only eke out a leading edge to Mahmudullah at backward point who dives to his left and snaffles it with two hands. It has to go down as one of the catches of the tournament. Shaiman Anwar c Mahmudullah b Mortaza 1(4)

5.0 - Mortaza to Rohan Mustafa, out Caught by Mustafizur Rahman!! Another one bites the dust. Mustafa too attempted to slog and lost his wicket. Mustafa makes room to a length delivery and could only get a thickish outside edge to short third man, who sets under it and snaffles it with two hands. It was a wild swing from Mustafa and he paid the price for it. Rohan Mustafa c Mustafizur Rahman b Mortaza 18(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

1.3 - Al-Amin to Muhammad Kaleem, out Caught by Mortaza!! UAE's batsmen just don't seem to learn from their mistakes as Kaleem takes the walk back to the hutch. Nothing but a good length delivery that was bowled just outside off, Kaleem attempted to drag it from there and slog it over the fielder at mid-on. However, Mortaza, the captain, took a step or two to his left and snaffled an easy catch. Muhammad Kaleem c Mortaza b Al-Amin 0(5)

0.3 - Taskin Ahmed to Rohan Mustafa, 1 run, Sarkar at 2nd slip has dropped a rather relatively easy chance. Back of a length delivery that was slanted across the left-hander, Mustafa prods forward and is surprised by the extra bounce. He ekes out an outside edge to Sarkar at second slip, but he did not even look at the ball. Despite getting hands on it, he drops it. The duo pinch a single, too
