Shakib Al Hasan 92* of 69 | Bangladesh vs. Sri Lanka 2009

Shakib Al Hasan hit an unbeaten 92 to help Bangladesh to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka today and guarantee their place in the final of the triangular one-day series. Bangladesh had to win by a considerable margin to secure a place in the final at the expense of Zimbabwe and reached the 148-run target, making 151 in total, with seven overs to spare in a match reduced to 31 overs per side.

Hasan's impressive knock of 92 from 69 balls with 10 fours and two sixes rescued the hosts from early trouble, having slipped to 11 for three.

Both openers, Junaid Siddique and Tamim Iqbal, were run out, while Thilan Thushara had Mushfiqur Rahim were caught behind. Al Hasan and captain Mohammad Ashraful then put on 91 runs for the fourth wicket in a stand that turned the course of the match.

Nuwan Kulasekara broke the partnership when Ashraful tried a hook shot and was caught near the boundary by Sanath Jayasuriya for 26. Ajantha Mendis then dismissed Raqibul Hasan for three, putting the match back in the balance with Bangladesh on 126 for five.

But Hasan and Naeem Islam reached the winning target, with Islam hitting a four and then a six off the final two balls, giving Bangladesh a bonus point to overhaul Zimbabwe.
