Shakib said as the reason for the loss today, “We are trying to improve in death (over) bowling. But we haven’t done that yet. That’s why I lost the match. They needed 17-18 runs (25 runs) in the last two overs, with 8 wickets (7 wickets) falling. But they won with 5 balls (4 balls) in hand. This proves that we could not bowl well in the death overs. We did well in the opening and middle overs.”
In this battle of life and death once the match was leaning towards Bangladesh, once towards Sri Lanka. In this tense match, the fight was fought till the last over so that the dream of Bangladesh is broken. The Tigers have been eliminated from the Asia Cup after losing to Sri Lanka by 2 wickets.
