Shakib Al Hasan to Abinash Bohara, no run

OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Two in two for Shakib Al Hasan to finish things off! Bangladesh are through to the Super 8s. Pushes it through, on a nagging length and it skids through, on middle, Abinash Bohara gets on the back foot and gets inside the line to work it away with the angle. He fails to get any bat on it and it goes through to trap him right in front of the stumps. Up goes the finger but Abinash Bohara takes the review, more in hope than anything else. There is nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. Nepal have been bowled out for 85 and this is the lowest total ever defended by a team in Men's T20 World Cups.

Shakib Al Hasan to Sompal Kami, no run

OUT! STUMPED! Believe it or not, this is the first wicket of this World Cup for Shakib Al Hasan. Offers flight and attacks the stumps, on middle, Sompal Kami skips down the track to go back over the bowler's head but gets done in the flight. He misses to connect and Litton Das does the rest by taking the bails off. Abinash Bohara is the last man in for Nepal.

Mustafizur Rahman to Dipendra Singh Airee, no run

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! End of Dipendra Singh Airee's struggles against the Fizz and that should be the game for Bangladesh. Angling across, on a back of a length, on off, Dipendra Singh Airee shapes up to work it fine on the off side with an open bat face but only manages a feather on it and Litton Das takes it low near his ankles. A wicket-maiden from Mustafizur Rahman. Nepal need 22 runs off the final over. Sandeep Lamichhane comes in at number 10.

Would you believe it? Five straight dots in the 19th over. Keeps it near the wide guideline on off, fuller and slower, Dipendra Singh Airee frees his arms but fails to connect once again as he swings.
