Lankans throw it away as Bangladesh reach historic final: Asia Cup ODI #6 (Mirpur)

Bangladesh reached its first Asia Cup final when it cruised past Sri Lanka by five wickets with nearly three overs to spare in a rain-disrupted match.

This shock loss was only the third time ever that Sri Lanka has lost to Bangladesh. Bangladesh 212 for 5 (Tamim 59, Shakib 56, Nasir 36*) beat Sri Lanka 232 (Kapugedera 62, Nazmul 3-32) by five wickets by D/L method.
