Bangladesh beat Malaysia by two runs to secure spot in the ongoing Asian Games on Wednesday.


Bangladesh stayed on track for a second title, but only just, after managing a miserly 116-5.


They were on the brink of defeat with Malaysia needing five runs off the final over, after Virandeep Singh's sumptuous 52 put the Malaysians within reach of a major upset.

But Bangladesh held on thanks to a tight last over from Afif Hossain, who called on all his experience from 63 T20Is to keep his country alive.


"One good thing was we didn't lose hope, we didn't give up the game until the last ball," said Bangladesh skipper Saif Hassan after Malaysia were restricted to 114-8.


"Everyone, especially Afif, held their nerve" he added.


Bangladesh will meet India in the last four on Friday.



in day's first match, Afghanistan defeated defending champions Sri Lanka by eight runs to book an Asian Games semi-final against Pakistan.
