Bangladesh is doing really well in this match. They have scored 484 runs and have only left one player. Their batsmen are playing great because they have worked hard and are hitting ball powerfully. If they keep playing with this movement and effectively they could easily score more than 500 runs. This would make it very tough for Sri Lanka to win especially since their bowlers are not doing well. Bangladesh batting is making this match very exciting and possibly win for them.
Bangladesh's innings ended at 495 runs. The team made a big collection due to the high scores of the three middle-order batsmen. Bangladesh lost the third wicket for 45 runs. Mushfiq-Shanto collected 264 runs from the fourth wicket partnership, Mushfiq-Liton collected 149 runs in the fifth wicket partnership. After losing the fifth wicket for 458 runs, no Bangladeshi batsman could survive at the crease for a long time. Mushfiq played the highest innings of 163 runs for Bangladesh. Shanto's collection was 148 runs.
Bangladesh was able to make a big collection. However, this is a flat pitch. Completely batting friendly. Sri Lanka is also capable of batting well on this pitch. So if Bangladeshi bowlers cannot bowl well, the match is likely to be drawn. I am waiting to see Hasan Mahmud and Nahid rana's bowling today.
