Though the result is already known, this match is important for pakistan in the sense that they would hope that SL doesnt concede a bonus point against BD. That will help pakistan in case SL, India and Pak ends up with 2 victories each.
Bangladesh has won the toss and elected to bat first.
Bangladesh will not be able to avoid the extra point, as I see it.
just when the Bangladeshis were looking set to fight back, they lose Manjural Islam.
Mohsin Khan is dumbest commentator seriuosly. Bangladeshis are only 155-6 in 45th over and understandably they are running for everything and Mohsin Khan saab says ‘Bangladeshis should not try to take risky singles on good balls because next ball might give them four’ 
And today he never got off SL’s butts. 
Bangladesh 190-9 (50 overs)
Good effort considering their start. Lets hope SL dont get these runs inside 40 overs.
cricinfo says 189/9…
was a good fightback by ashraful and rana…
run outs were plenty…
but then again the rush was called for…
anyway, a good high-spirited fight-back from the middle order… :k:

Yep Virtual semi final if SL beats india too. As Pakistan will have to beat Bangladesh. (which they should do despite their horrible form 
)
Damn Pakistan had it easy this Asia Cup. I shudder to think what might have been the consequences if they were in the same group as Sri Lanka.
