Half way through the innings, Sri Lanka are 80/4.

18:10 (IST)

Legend surpassing legend!

An eventful penultimate over from Kumara. He runs Afif out off his own bowling. Then bowls a NO BALL by delivering a high full toss which Mushfiqur misses. The Free Hit brings a couple of leg byes. Kumara attempts another yorker but Mahmudullah converts it into a low full toss and smacks it over Kumara's head to end the over with a four. Bangladesh get 11 runs off the over.

After just three runs off the first three balls from Chameera in the final over, Mahmudullah smacks one through extra cover for a four. And after a single, Mushfiqur scoops one to fine leg for the second four of the over to finish the innings in style.

After 18 overs,Bangladesh 149/3 ( Mushfiqur Rahim 49 , Afif Hossain 7)

Bangladesh may have lost the wicket of Naim but they have made sure that the momentum is maintained.
Fernando got the wicket of the set Naim off the first ball but Bangladesh made sure that they didn't go into a shell as Mushfiqur and Hossain hit a four each to make it 11 from the Fernando over. Chameera gives a couple of singles off the first two balls but then bowls one short and wide and Mushfiqur cuts it over backward point for a four. 20 off the last two overs.

16:57 (IST)

OUT! Fernando has Naim (62) caught and bowled. It's that slower bouncer on middle and leg, Naeem stays in his crease and looks to pull but is done in by the lack of pace. He gets a top edge and Fernando runs to his left, settles under it and pouches it safely.

16:54 (IST)

After 16 overs,Bangladesh 129/2 ( Mohammad Naim 62 , Mushfiqur Rahim 37)

Mushfiqur is looking in really good touch. Naim too seems to have found back his rhythm. Mushfiqur went for that slog sweep against Hasaranga and hit two fours to get 11 off the over. Naim then got another four in the next over from Shanaka as he looks to slash at one but got an edge wide of the short third man fielder for a streaky four. They take 11 off the Shanaka over as well. 22 off the last two overs. Bangladesh 129/2 from 16 overs. They would be targetting around 170-175 from here on.

16:47 (IST)

16:45 (IST)

After 14 overs,Bangladesh 107/2 ( Mohammad Naim 55 , Mushfiqur Rahim 24)

Bangladesh getting some momentum now. Naim is still lucky to be out there in the middle. There was a huge mix up off the first ball of the 14th over. Mushfiqur patted one to point, Naim at non-striker's end set off and didn't stop. There was lack of communication. Mushfiqur sent him back late, the fielder charged in but missed the direct hit. Naim was no where near to making it. Earlier in the Fernando over, Mushfiqur started with a slog sweep six off the first ball but then Fernando bounced back to give just three singles off the next five balls. After getting a life in that Kumara over, Naim ups the ante as he lofts one straight down the ground for a four to bring up his 50 and then pulls one over mid-wicket for the second four off the over. 11 runs off the Kumara over. 20 runs in the last two overs.

"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," Shanaka said 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."

They dismissed Namibia for 96, Ireland for 101 and then the Netherlands for just 44.
