A touch shorter, on off, Nasum Ahmed flat bats it to long on, but Ahmed denies the single.

OUT! CAUGHT! The bowling change from Sahan Arachchige to bring himself back into the attack will do the last bit for Sri Lanka, as they have beaten Bangladesh by 63 runs to secure a bronze medal in the Asian Games 2026. Pitching full, wide outside the off stump. Nasum bites on the bait to hit it downtown. He swings hard, aiming to clear the boundary, but fails to reach the middle of the blade. Ashen Bandara judges the skier with ease, moving in slightly from the rope to take a routine catch.
