Commentary

That is all that was written for this contest with Bangladesh marching on to the Super 12s. What this means is that the Oman-Scotland game is a virtual knockout with the winner joining Bangladesh and booking their tickets to the UAE. You do not want to miss out on that one so do switch tabs to follow our coverage of that clash. It's been a pleasure bringing the coverage of this contest to you and we hope you enjoyed it just the same. Thank you so much for tuning in as on behalf of my good friend and fellow textpert Pratyush Rohra, this is Sooryanarayanan Sesha humbly reminding you to mask up and get yourselves vaccinated in case you haven't already. Goodbye and take care.

Mahmudullah wore a smile on his face having kept a poker face pretty much throughout the side's previous encounter against Oman. He has every reason to smile now with Bangladesh having progressed into the Super 12s with a massive net run-rate at their disposal. They will travel to the Emirates for the next phase but which group will they be sorted into comes down to the result of the Oman-Scotland game that will commence in a little while from now. Bangladesh have most bases covered and with their bowling lineup in particular not putting a foot wrong, the Tigers are roaring and how! Needless to say, they will pose more than just a challenge to their opponents in the next phase. As for Papua New Guinea, they've shown a lot of character and panache especially on the field right through their campaign and have made the world sit up and take note of their boisterous talent. In the end, their opponents were just too powerful for them though, but should they compete a lot more at the top level, there is no reason as to why they cannot progress from strength to strength.

Mahmudullah (Bangladesh Captain): I think this was much needed. This is the way we wanted to play. The intent was good from the batters. Having said that the wicket was a lot better and they did a great job to put a 180+ score before the bowlers did an excellent job. The thing we were concerned about was the first six overs with the bat. If we get a good start we can set it up. We need to focus on that and compete hard. I've said it before that we have more of skilled hitters than big hitters. We need to calculate a lot of things in the middle and find out which bowler we can take on in the middle on a given day so that we can do better.

Assad Vala (Papua New Guinea Captain): Towards the end, they got the momentum but I thought we started really well. They got a really good partnership then. We bowled well before the last few balls; we could not execute our plans at the death. We have been losing wickets in the Powerplay and that has been costing us. We haven't been able to find a way to play in that phase but there was some really good bowling as well. They are a really good team. Lots of positives we can take out - especially executing our skills under pressure. We know we could have done well but at this level against quality players, it isn't easy. We gave our best and are looking forward to doing better the next time.

That is as dominant a display as it can from Bangladesh and they have turned in a professional display across all three dimensions to show just why they are ranked sixth in the ICC T20I rankings. They were just far too strong in the end for Papua New Guinea who alas have to sign off without a point against their name.

Chasing 182 was never going to be easy against a quality bowling attack. That said, the shot selection of the PNG batters left a lot to be desired with a number of wild slogs bringing about their undoing. Once Assad Vala fell early on in their innings and with no Tony Ura to call upon, the rest just came and went in what was an endless procession. Mohammad Saifuddin and Taskin Ahmed bowled with searing pace to snuff out the opening batters before the spin duo of Shakib al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan took centerstage to mix their pace to great effect and orchestrate an alarming collapse.

17/4 at the end of six overs and 28/6 at the halfway mark paint a picture of its own. It was never to be for PNG as one after another, the wickets continued to trouble and they were running the ignominy of getting bundled out for a sub-50 total at 29/7. Keeper-bat Kipling Doriga didn't throw the towel in and while he did wield his willow wild as an when possible, he picked his spots to good effect and stitched a couple of decent stands with Chad Soper and then Kabua Morea. Even though it was just a case of delaying the inevitable, he managed to drag the innings into the final over but eventually, PNG were bowled out, handing Bangladesh a massive victory that sees them book their spot in the Super 12s!

Yet again, it was Shakib Al Hasan who stood out with impeccable figures of 4/9 after having contributed 46 vital runs with the bat. It was another stellar all-round show from the veteran who had Mahedi Hasan for support again as the spin duo cut the PNG batting lineup to size. Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad Saifuddin were outstanding as they accounted for a couple of wickets apiece while Mustafizur Rahman, rather surprisingly, went wicketless. That said, the damage was done well beforehand by the rest of his colleagues.

Shakib Al Hasan (Player of the Match): Yes. Every game we are playing is giving us confidence. The first game was a set back but T20 can be like that. We have to play well to give ourselves the chance. Now the pressure is gone and we can play with more freedom. It's not easy for me to get back in form when you're not scoring runs. Luckily for me, here I get an opportunity to bat up the order and I have to make it count. A little tired since its been a long season for me but hopefully I can pull through this tournament.

No real celebrations from Bangladesh. After a surprise loss in their first game, the Tigers have roared back and sealed their place in the Super 12. They'll still have to wait for the result of the next game though, to see if they top the group or not.

19.3 Taskin Ahmed to Damien Ravu, OUT! THAT WILL BE ALL! Digs it into a short length in the corridor outside off, Ravu makes room and sticks his bat out flat before getting a thick edge that is pouched with such ease by Nurul Hasan behind the stumps. This has been a dominant display of some kind from the Bangla Tigers! Bangladesh beat Papua New Guinea by 84 runs and qualify for the Super 12s! Damien Ravu c Nurul Hasan b Taskin Ahmed 5 (5b 1x4 0x6)

19.2 Taskin Ahmed to Damien Ravu, follows the batter backing away to the leg-side with a well-directed hard length delivery, Ravu looks to hoick this across the line but he fails to get bat on ball.

19.1 Taskin Ahmed to Kiplin Doriga, slower short of a length delivery at the stumps, Doriga camps back and mistimes his pull through mid-wicket as he runs a single. Brings Ravu on strike.

PNG have been left in shambles but "The Fizz" stays wicketless. Not often do we see that. Final over to go in this match. Doriga has produced a spirit knock in a losing cause. Can he get to his half-century?

18.6 Mustafizur Rahman to Kiplin Doriga, full length delivery across the batter and just outside off, Doriga presses forward and pokes it on the up through cover point to retain the strike with a single.

18.5 Mustafizur Rahman to Kiplin Doriga, back of a length delivery angled way across the batter outside off, Doriga can only connect with thin air as he has a hack across the line.

18.4 Mustafizur Rahman to Damien Ravu, goes wide of the crease and tucks him up with a short of a length delivery on the pads, Ravu hops in his crease and plays all around his attempt to drop it into the leg-side. He pinches a tight leg bye as the ball ricochets towards backward point.

18.3 Mustafizur Rahman to Damien Ravu, FOUR! CLUBBED! Back of a length delivery just outside off, Ravu backs away and clogs it straight down the ground with mid-off inside the ring as he picks up a boundary.

18.2 Mustafizur Rahman to Kiplin Doriga, short of a length delivery angled well across the batter outside off, Doriga stands tall and slaps it past the dive of the keeper before third man picks up inside the ring. The batters cross over!

18.1 Mustafizur Rahman to Kiplin Doriga, SIX! CLEAN AS A WHISTLE! Right in the slot at the stumps, Doriga clears his front leg to launch it straight over long on as the ball soars over his head by a distance!
