Pitch Report

We've moved a couple of pitches over, meaning it's 72m down the ground and the boundary towards one of the sides is shorter than 65m. There's a bit of patchiness about it, there are some bare areas and then there are tufts of grass. So variable bounce is the thing tonight. It will be 'spin it to win it'. As reckoned by Alan Wilkins and Samuel Badree.

Commentary

So that will be that from this match in Group C. Bangladesh will play their first game in the Super-8s against Australia next. Nepal will fly back home after three defeats. But, the team led by the inspirational Rohit Kumar Paudel can hold their heads up high! They have given all three teams they faced in this tournament, a run for their money on other days, could easily easily topple them. You can now join our commentators in on the act in the other game going on at the moment, between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands, right here. This is the pair of Arya and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh captain): Happy and relieved to get through this first round! We knew that we didn't get as many runs as we would have liked, but our bowlers kept hitting the right lengths and posed a massive threat to the opposition batters. Our fast bowlers have worked really hard for a couple of years and the results are showing. We are looking forward to the Super-8s now and are well prepared I feel!

Rohit Kumar Paudel (Nepal captain): I think we bowled really well but as a batting unit, the top-order could have been technically tighter. But the new-ball bowling I thought from Bangladesh was brilliant! They asked challenging questions to us in the power play. We need to step up as a batting line-up. We have to understand how and where to score runs, going forward. This team has great potential, with more exposure and experience, we should only get better. We've disappointed our fans, we thought we could win some games here, but it's not to be. Still, the support has been great!

Tanzim Hasan Sakib is the Player of the Match, here is what he had to say: We just wanted to keep things simple and bowl in the hood areas. We didn't panic and we managed to win it. I will say absolutely beautiful performance from all the bowlers. Mustafiz bhai bowled a maiden wicket, Rishad, Taskin everyone bowled well which is why we defended the score. I was aggressive and tried to execute my plans. We are very excited to play super eights. We are very confident and hopefully we will do well. Yes absolutely, spin bowling was turning so it wasn't easy to bat. We held our line and lengths and it worked perfectly.

Bangladesh win by 21 runs with 4 balls to spare!

Shakib Al Hasan 17 (22) | Tanzim Sakib - 4/7 (4)
Kushal Malla 27 (40) | Sandeep Lamichhane - 2/17 (4)

This is the lowest ever score defended in men's T20 World Cups! Bangladesh just love playing on this ground, don't they? Nepal could afford only three scores in double digits and even a decent enough 50-partnership was not to be for them.

It all began with Tanzim Sakib's superb spell up front which went for only 7 runs! He bowled with pace and swing, and picked up as many as 4 wickets with two maiden overs in it.

Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain and Shakib Al Hasan were all just too good for this Nepali batting line-up! The only positive for Nepal was the 50-run stand for the 6th wicket between Kushal Malla and Dipendra Singh Airee. Otherwise, it is a sorry-looking scorecard.

The ball did talk quite a lot on this surface, as expected, but there is still a way to play it. There is where Nepal came second by some margin against a full member team.

So, with this victory, Bangladesh become the fourth and final team to qualify for the Super-8s! They are grouped alongside India, Australia and Afghanistan.

19.2 Shakib Al Hasan to Abinash Bohara, WICKET! This could be victory for Bangladesh if the decision is upheld there. That was a slowish good-length delivery around the middle stump channel, Bohara gets inside the line of the ball and tries to work it away towards the on side. Gets beaten and is struck on the front pad.

No bat involved as confirmed by ultra-edge, off to ball tracking now and its three reds. Bangladesh have completed a resounding 21 run victory in the end and joins India, Australia and Afghanistan in the Super eights.

Abhinash Bohara lbw b Shakib Al Hasan 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)

Abhinash Bohara, RHB, is at the crease.

It's all falling apart now for Nepal!

19.1 Shakib Al Hasan to Sompal Kami, WICKET! Shakib gets his first wicket of this edition of the T20 World Cup. That was a flighted delivery a shade outside off, Sompal comes down the track and tries to launch this down the ground, gets beaten by the turn and Litton behind the stumps whips off the bails in a flash.

Sompal Kami st Litton Das b Shakib Al Hasan 0 (2b, 0x4, 0x6)

Shakib Al Hasan [2.0-0-9-0] comes back into the attack.

Sandeep Lamichhane, RHB, is at the crease.

What a top over this is! Mustafizur takes a wicket and gives no run away! A stern test for Nepal and Dipendra Singh Airee, but he falls way below the pass marks.

18.6 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, WICKET! A wicket maiden in the penultimate over of the match and he has more or less put the game to bed. Again the cutter on a good-length a shade outside off, Airee tries to nudge it away towards the off side and look for the single. ends up getting an outside edge which has been safely pouched by Litton Das behind the stumps.

Dipendra Singh Airee c Litton Das b Mustafizur Rahman 25 (31b, 2x4, 1x6)

18.5 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, again a back of a length slower delivery well outside off, Dipendra again misses out on the back cut, what a sensational over this has been from Mustafizur.

It's only swinging and missing going on at the moment!

18.4 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, Mustafizur has been simply too good. Again a pace-off good-length delivery angling across off, Dipendra again slashes at that without making any contact.

18.3 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, a very well directed short delivery from Mustafizur. Dipendra moved across off and tries to unsettle Dipendra, a well directed bumper and he couldn't quite make contact on the pull.

18.2 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, again a similar line and similar length. On the fuller side and again a slower one, Dipendra loses his balance while flashing at that, gets beaten.

18.1 Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, that's a pace off good-length delivery a shade outside off, grips on the surface, Dipendra tries to launch this down the ground but gets beaten all ends up.

This is the over for Nepal. Airee has to take strike for most of the deliveries in it. If it does not happen in this one, it does not happen for them. It's that simple.

17.6 Taskin Ahmed to Sompal Kami, that was beautifully timed by Sompal but even better work by Rishad Hossain at backward point. On a good-length a tad outside off and Sompal will feel unlucky to have not found the gap.
