India face Pakistan here in Dubai on Sunday, 21 September and that game will begin at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). But as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up as well. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Nasum Ahmed comes in with Bangladesh still needing a run to win.

Mahedi Hasan is the new batter in.

Just 5 needed off the final over. Bangladesh are overwhelming favorites but we have seen fewer runs being defended in the final over. Dasun Shanaka to bowl it. Can he conjure up a miracle? Let's find out.

Jaker Ali is in next.

Shamim Hossain is in at number 5 for Bangladesh. Also, Kamindu Mendis has been introduced into the attack.

DRINKS BREAK! A very well-contested first half of the chase and Bangladesh are probably just ahead as well. They have wickets in hand and Saif Hassan is playing a superb innings. However, Sri Lanka do have the bowlers to get them back in the game and will be hoping to slow the scoring rate down if they can't pick up wickets. This has all the makings of going down to the wire.

Dunith Wellalage (1-0-10-0) is back on.

Tawhid Hridoy is the new batter in.

Wanindu Hasaranga comes into the attack right after the Powerplay.

Dushmantha Chameera is back on to close out the Powerplay. He went for 8 runs in his first over.

Time for spin as Dunith Wellalage has now been tossed the ball.

Dushmantha Chameera will steam in from the other end.

The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das is in at number 3.
