ICC World Cup 2023: Bangladesh (282/7) defeat Sri Lanka (279) by 3 wickets in a match marred by controversy

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Looks like dew and a pumped up Shakib al Hasan have nailed this for Desh. They are cruising!

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh need 99 runs from 135 balls.

Shanto did well too. He is on 80*.

 

[Asad T]

I really want Matthews to Mankad Shakib

Nobody thought by 2023 WI and SL will suffer the same fate as Dinosaurs and Panda

Srilanka was bullying every associate team in the qualifier. Breezed through.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh have never beaten Sri Lanka in a World Cup before.

This is a good opportunity.

 

[sweep_shot]

Current partnership: 145 runs from 137 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

150 partnership is up.

Turning out to be a decisive partnership.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD is dismantling Srilanka here.

 

[sweep_shot]

19 off the over. Big over for BD.

BD - 206/2 (30 overs).

74 are needed from 20 overs.

 

[dravidthewall]

Srilanka given up

 

[Mas-LFC]

Nice back to back to back boundaries by Shakib. Thats what proper ODI style batting gets you. Not wild swinging or slogging like T20!

 

[FearlessRoar]

19 runs off Rajitha in the 30th over

 

[dravidthewall]

Phainty coming up for srilanka against india

 

[Mas-LFC]

Sri Lanka still should believe as BD known to collapse badly. Collapse prone batting unit…

 

[sweep_shot]

Shanto is on 87*.

Shakib is on 82*.

 

[dravidthewall]

Lol Angelo mathews trolling shakib after disimissal

 

[sweep_shot]

Angelo gets Shakib. He gets his revenge.

BD lose their 3rd wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Matthew is trolling Shakib by showing his wrists lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Matthew is trolling Shakib by showing his wrists lol

LOL. Yeah.

Shakib didn't react.

 

[nish_mate]

Snagged him.... Angelo gets his man

 

[Asad T]

Time to go

 

[Desprado123]

I really felt sorry for Srilankan player when board also said that their will be "Wholesale changes in the current squad as well" after firing entire board but now i fell but the temporary Charmian currently is right this entire team of Sri Lanka also need to be fired.

 

[sweep_shot]

70 are needed from 111 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD lost the steam. Will they lose it from here?

 

[nish_mate]

Hes an fisherman Mahmudullah...fishing outside his off

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mathews gets the revenge. Poor charge down by Shakib. Ball held up, slower ball. Good bowling.


Good knock by Shakib. Timely.

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket-maiden from Angelo.

BD - 210/3 (32 overs).

 

[nish_mate]

BD lost the steam. Will they lose it from here?

Not even BD can manage that

 

[Mas-LFC]

perhaps the collapse has started with Shakibs wicket?

 

[sweep_shot]

Not even BD can manage that

Never say never with BD.

They can lose from a winning position. Did it many times.

I remember they once lost after being 270/3 (target was 315-ish).

 

[jnaveen1980]

perhaps the collapse has started with Shakibs wicket?

Mahmudullah is the most level headed professional in the BD team. It is not happening with him around.

 

[dravidthewall]

Mathews turned on..game on hai

 

[jnaveen1980]

Matthews is doing with ball

 

[sweep_shot]

Angelo gets Shanto. What's going on? LOL.

BD lose 4th wicket.

 

[sweep_shot]

69 are needed from 100 balls. 6 wickets in hand.

 

[Mas-LFC]

I’ve seen it all with BD cricket. Trust me. The collapse indeed STARTED. Look above one of my post mentioned SL must still believe. BD batsman mentally extremely weak.

 

[Mahee]

Bangla Lanka rivalry is one of the biggest in any sport

 

[Mas-LFC]

History repeats itself. In 2014 they lost a match to SL in ODI position needing 60 odd with 7-8 wickets left!

 

[Mahee]

three time world cup finalists Lanka losing to Bangla is definitely the biggest upset of this world cup.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mahmudullah came in and gone into a shell, hasnt helped Shanto. That dab down was risking inside edge! But glad Shanto didnt get the ton though or else he would’ve gloated for years despite a poor WC.

 

[sweep_shot]

62 are needed from 94 balls.

Mahmdullah and Mushfiq need to take it home.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Mahmdullah.

56 more to win.

 

[Smbhayi]

Phainty coming up for srilanka against india

What? Already given.. btw SL will bear NZ...

 

[sweep_shot]

50 are needed from 85 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

What? Already given.. btw SL will bear NZ...

If rain doesn't cause a washout, NZ should thrash SL.

SL have no Fakhar.

 

[Smbhayi]

If rain doesn't cause a washout, NZ should thrash SL.

SL have no Fakhar.

They've Perera, Mendis and Samaravikrama..

 

[rickroll]

I sincerely hope BD lose this but that seems unlikely.

I just read about Angelo Mathews dismissal. Why are BD such unsporting and unscrupulous characters on the cricket field? And then they wonder why other country fans look down on them!!

Today's incident made me as an outsider resolve not to lend any support for BD for a long long time. Utterly disgusting cricket team and fan culture by Bangladesh!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

It doesn't matter. As long as RR is in control why bother about dot balls.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There is no way this SL team is beating NZ, no way in a million years. None the less probably better than getting humiliated by Ind in the semis as well, also if we reach semis there be no clean up either, it's better to let NZ face Ind in semis

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mahmudualla is imperious.

 

[sweep_shot]

33 are needed from 13 overs.

Shouldn't mess this up now surely?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sri Lanka is terrible. They will definitely miss out on a CT spot and they deserve to.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiq is out.

31 to win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Today opting to bat first was a terrible error from SL.

Why did they bat first? Didn't they consider the dew factor?

 

[7sins]

Poor madushanka he got no help from other bowlers very disappointed with theeksana he played ipl and still havnt bowled good in any of the matches

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why did they bat first? Didn't they consider the dew factor?

May be the nightmare of a chase against India played a role.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

25 to win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fight continues

 

[Mas-LFC]

Straight forward ball, ball skidding on. Pathetic shot by mushy who has been ultra poor by his standards. Maybe it is time to retire from ODI little Mushy.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tawhid Da kya baat hai.. finisher!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Lankans are getting aggressive. This why you make sure win with more wickets. Mushy poor cricket from you

 

[jnaveen1980]

whoa. That is a gun wicket. Superb delivery out of nowhere.

 

[dravidthewall]

Bangla crumbling under pressure

 

[7sins]

6down

 

[sweep_shot]

Mahmudullah is gone now.

SL can win now.

25 to win. 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Mas-LFC]

told you all. Collapse started when Shakib got out..

 

[Mahee]

hope madhsushanka take a hattrick next over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hridoy should play sensibly. If he gets caught up in the sledging he can lose focus

 

[dravidthewall]

Srilanka vs Bangladesh some rivalry

 

[jnaveen1980]

They can take singles and win. I think Ramiz Raja desperately wants SL to make a come back so that he can make jokes about BD lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Why did Mahmdullah try to slog? Just 24 to win.

Take singles and doubles. RRR is 2.5.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mental midgets will forever be. As much as a appreciate Mahmudullahs good performances in this cwc. And mushy over the years. Its time they leave ODI. Their experience counts for nothing when they had such brainfarts like today and in 2016 world t20.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka vs Bangladesh some rivalry

I am all for rivalries. It makes the game interesting. Individual rivalry, team rivalry.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Why did Mahmdullah try to slog? Just 24 to win.

Take singles and doubles. RRR is 2.5.

Mental midget. Always does well when team is already beaten like SA match.

 

[JaDed]

The rivalry isn't that big among players.

It is only big among some fans (not me though; I don't care about it).

Naw it’s among players too you can see the dislike

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hridoy is not backing down. Game is almost in the bag.

 

[sweep_shot]

17 to win from 64 balls.
