M.Muralitharan showed a great display of spin bowling by picking up 5 wickets and restricting Bangladesh to a low score of 116 runs and winning by a huge margin of 167 runs. Bangladesh batsmen had no answer to this Srilankan bowling with only 3 batsmen scoring in double figures including a good innings of 42 by J.Omar.
Murali was very angry when A.Kapali smashed him for a huge six on the leg side . Few balls later J.Omar played a fine late cut for a boundary . This just added salt to the wound.Murali was then determined to get a wicket quicly and tossed a ball straight on the middle stump line .A.Kapali tried to sweep it but was deceived by Muali's doosra . Murali's 7th over:
J.Omar was still there and was the only man standing in the Bangladesh innings. But D.Fernando foxed him with a slower delivery which was short but didn't bounce as expected . Omar tried to pulled it but he had his eyes off the ball and didn't judge the bounce . His good innings came to an end but he deserved a half century . J.Omar departs:
Murali came back strongly in his final 3 overs picking up 3 wickets and getting a 5 wicket haul . A.Ahmed tried to pull Murali which is always dangerous and managed to get a top edge and a simple catch to Fernando . Both T.Baisya and E.Haque were trapped by Murali with the doosra. Bangladeshi batsmen had no answer to Murali's doosra. Murali's 5 wickets:
L.Malinga completed the formalities by picking up the final SriLankan wicket .Bangladesh were bowled out for just 116 runs .SriLanka won by a huge margin of 167 runs. Final Wicket:

Brilliant bowling from a champion bowler and Bangladesh were left dumbfounded by the spin and mastery of Murali. I give my vote to Murali for man of the match too.
