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

Athers other day was questioning the logic of using one tournament to decide the participants in another tournament. That argument has some merit. West Indies didn't even take part in this WC. How will they get a shot to prove that they are good enough for CT.
 
In a situation like this what will they give to have a Malinga. Once Pathirana develops he can play that role.
 
Afghans have shown wayy more maturity in this tournament while chasing than BD has against big teams.
 
They have ultra poor iq coming from lowly underprivileged backgrounds most of them scholl dropouts. Miraz is one of them! Brain less fool.
 
Only bangladesh can do such thing. Make a match of an easy chase. This definitely became nervy due to some daft shots

FINALLY a win!! Bangladesh beats Sri Lanka for the first time in Cricket World Cup.

Tanzim Hasan can bat apparently. Could he be the bowling Allrounder BD needs!

There's still the Aussie game.

BD is not done yet.
 
Why was Shakib scolding Hridoy at the end there? Did he feel they could have finished things quicker?

Please Dont bring Sachin into this and compare him to BD brainless cricketers. tendulkar was just born gifted, with good learning ability and with proper coaching from age levels blossomed into the megastar he became. Whereas BD players have zero grassroot, lack education lack nutrition, as I said many times most of them are from rural lowly backgrounds, poor education, their aim is to just make it to national team to earn, some do well early one hence get fame and success and then get easily satisfied and lose ways. Upper Middle class kids dont take cricket as career in BD. Maybe Tamim is the only one from that batch was from a well off middle class background, went to English medium scholl.
 
BD has jumped up to 7th position in the points table (ahead of SL, Netherlands, and England).

NRR has improved to -1.14.

Looks like it will hold out yeah

Should also win against a woeful england, but they may just have a point to prove with CT qualification still on the line. We also have a long history of allowing out of form players to come back into form. Have to see what happens on the day...

Yeah. That was unnecessary.

Absolutely bad stuff from Shakib. Showing dadagiri. It was like he is telling Tawhid why were you rushing? When his pals mushy and mahmudullah got out poorly, brought lots pressure on Tawhid who’s sixes eased the panic
 
2 very crucial points there for BD. Now they are more or less safe as India plays Netherlands the last. They ain't getting ahead of BD unless Nederlands shock India.

Yes. I think Bangladesh should avoid finishing last at least.

CT 2025 qualification depends on a few factors (a few results need to go their way).
 
Bangladesh seal victory against Sri Lanka despite late hiccup

Bangladesh were put on the path to victory by Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan, who stitched together a 169-run partnership in the run-chase. Chasing 280 for a win, Bangladesh lost openers Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das early in the Powerplay to Madushanka, who continued his impressive new-ball spells.

But having raced off the blocks early, Bangladesh only needed to consolidate and Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto did just that forging a strong partnership to keep the run rate on par with the required rate.

The duo thwarted the Sri Lankan attack, blunting everything thrown at them and never once looked out of their comfort zone.

With the pitch easing under lights and dew in abundance,the ball came onto the bat and the two left-handers made merry, scoring at a brisk rate and piling the pressure on Sri Lanka.

At one point, both batters seemed to be on course for their individual hundreds, but Angelo Mathews extracted revenge for a first-innings mishap that saw him timed out. The all-rounder sent back Shakib with a cutter that found the leading edge and promptly gave him a send-off.

He went on to find seam movement with the scrambled ball and forced an inside edge off Shanto to clean him up next over.

With Bangladesh less than fifty runs away from a win, it didn't seem like a huge blow until Madushanka and Maheesh Theekshana sent back Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah in quick succession.

With Mehidy Hasan Miraz chipping one to the deep fielder with Bangladesh still 11 runs away, the game got closer than they would have liked.

However, they got home with more than enough balls to spare to register their first ever win over Sri Lanka in the men's Cricket World Cup.

In the afternoon, opting to bowl first, Bangladesh found an early breakthrough when Mushfiqur Rahim pulled off a sensational catch behind the wicket to dismiss Kusal Perera in the first over.

Kusal Mendis, who got off to a rather sedate start in uncharacteristic fashion, was dismissed by Shakib in his first over with the batter playing a mistimed stroke straight to mid-on.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib compounded their woes next over when Pathum Nissanka was cleaned up by a delivery shaping back in.

Charith Asalanka and Sadeera Samarwickrama put on the resurrection act, but things turned dramatically Bangladesh's way in the 25th over when Samarawickrama was dismissed following which Angelo Mathews was timed out for taking too much time to walk in.

The veteran Sri Lankan all-rounder took his time to walk in and then found that his helmet strap had broken and further delayed his entry. An appeal from Bangladesh followed and it was upheld with the Cricket World Cup playing conditions stating that a batter can be "timed out" if the batter is not "ready to receive the next ball within 2 minutes of the dismissal or retirement."

Asalanka carried the side forward amidst the chaos, with Dhananjaya de Silva offering good support and the half-century stand lifted Sri Lanka out of trouble.

De Silva fell for 34 in another odd sequence of play. The Sri Lankan was stumped out despite Rahim removing the bails with his gloves first as the Bangladesh wicketkeeper could take his time and recover to remove the stumps a second time with de Silva still not making an attempt to get back.

Asalanka went on to make a fine hundred with Maheesh Theekshana aiding him but the final flourish never arrived as Bangladesh kept chipping away with wickets. They finished on 279, making just 56 runs in the last 57 balls of the innings.
Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first against Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Sri Lanka rang in two changes with Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva coming in for Dimuth Karunaratne and Dushan Hemantha. The 1996 champions chase a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.

Bangladesh made a change of their own with Tanzim Hasan Sakib replacing Mustafizur Rahman. Sri Lanka's campaign has largely been derailed by injuries to key players but they could still snatch a place in the knockout stages with a triumph over Bangladesh at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, then another against New Zealand on 9 November.

The back-to-back victories would need to be settled by significant margins to give Sri Lanka's net run rate a healthy boost to compete with any other teams that finish on eight points, while also hoping that Pakistan and Afghanistan lose all of their remaining matches.

The outcome of this clash carries extra weight with a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy also on the line, as only the top eight sides at the end of the World Cup qualify for the next 50-over event in 2025.

Sri Lanka currently sit in seventh place with four points and only ahead of Netherlands on net run rate, while Bangladesh have two points with a slim margin in net run rate keeping them from bottom spot in the standings.

Bangladesh will have their backs to the wall following six consecutive defeats but showed that they can be a dangerous opponent when starting the tournament with a resounding victory over surprise packets Afghanistan.

While the semi-finals are already out of reach for Shakib Al Hasan's outfit, a second win in the tournament would at least allow them to finish it on a high.

They have been already in full flow with the usual conspiracy theories and how great their players are (at least in FB) since their India game where BD openers successfully dealt our pacers' initial spell. Luckily their forum is closed for the time being or we can't see the end of delusional posts/threads by some notorious posters there.

Sri Lanka has been awful for some time now, so this result was kinda expected.

With such consistently pathetic performances, not sure SL will be of any help for Pakistan's Semi's chances come Friday against NZ (only rain gods can save Pak's chances).
 
Hard luck Sl and today got one more reason to loathe Bangladesh team hopefully Pakistan team will continue to spanked them, at one stage our numbers were 31-1 vs Bangladesh
 
6 November - Delhi - Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan post-match press conference

[Reporter:]

Another chapter added to the Sri Lanka Bangladesh rivalry, looking back any regrets?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

Not at all.

One of our fielders came to me and said, if you appeal, the law says he's out because he hasn't taken his guard within the time frame. So, then I appealed to the umpires, umpire told me whether you're going to call him back or not, if I said he's out, then you call him back, it doesn't look good. I said I won't call him back.

We played under-19 together, World Cup, so I know Angelo for a long, long time, since 2006. Yeah, unfortunate, but within the rules.

[Reporter:]

Following up on that question, yes, it's out as per the rule but in terms of spirit of cricket, did you ever think of calling him back again?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

Well, then ICC should look into it and change the rules.

[Reporter:]

As a batter, if you put yourself in Angelo's shoes and if the same thing happened to you, what would you feel?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

I'll be careful. It doesn't happen to me.

[Reporter:]

A brilliant partnership out there that you know scripted the base of the victory. So, what were

the chats with Shanto when you guys were already two wickets down within the powerplay and then step by step you went ahead and then again, a little hiccup during the end of the game. So, what transpired between you and Shanto when you guys were in the middle?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

Yeah, I mean, when we lost two wickets, we had to rebuild. We know the wickets is good. We had to bat deep, make a partnership and that will ease a lot of pressure. That's exactly what we did and when we had opportunity we capitalized, we counterattacked them, put a lot of pressure back on them because it wasn't an easy piece to bat on. Also, dew was helping us a lot. So, we know that ball was coming onto the bats, we had to just bat deep. When we were on the 17th, 18th over, we were just saying that if we bat 30th over, we can take the game close to the finishing like and if one of us stays, we can finish it early. And after that, when we lost a couple of quick wickets, myself and Shanto got out. We still were looking to chase it 41.2 overs or something that give us ahead of, I think, a couple of the teams. That's what we are looking to do. Trying to do that cost us some wickets. But in the end, very happy the way we played.

[Reporter:]

On the Matthews dismissal, I think his helmet strap broke as he was getting ready to face you and later on, he came and I think he talked to you after the umpires had given him out. What did he say? What was your reaction to it? It was an equipment malfunction?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

As I told someone earlier that we have been playing since 2006, you know, against each other. We have played a lot of games against Sri Lanka. I know him very well; he knows me very well. So, he came and asked me whether if I withdraw my appeal or not If I want to, I said, you know, I understand your situation. It was unfortunate, but I don't want to.

[Reporter:]

Do you think what happened before World Cup with opener Tamim Iqbal, is it a hampered Bangladesh situation in this World Cup? Is the situation have been different in this World Cup?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

I don't want to make any comments on that. That's irrelevant to me at this moment.

[Reporter:]

This is probably the best performance for your team in this World Cup, are you disappointed that this has come when you are almost out of contention. Do you regret that this performance didn’t come when you were in a better position?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

Yeah, I mean if we could have done that in earlier matches that would have been better. One or two matches, if we could have won, that would have been nice. We would have been on a nice position at this moment. Yes, we had a lot of expectation, not from outside, not from our country. I thought we let ourselves down. I thought the target we set within the team, the thing that we thought that we are capable of doing, we couldn't do it. So that's the disappointment we all have.

[Reporter:]

You have seen Bangladesh's evolution as a cricket team since your debut. You reached a height when you qualified for the quarterfinals and then the slide began and all that. Where do you see Bangladesh cricket going from here, now that you, Mushfiq, and all are in the last phase of your careers? Where do you see Bangladesh cricket at this moment? And what should be the road ahead? There are too many off-field controversies and all that. So where do you think?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

There are so many things I can think of but it needs probably hour or two, if I want to discuss that. Better to discuss with the BCB and hopefully they'll take some of my advice or some of the players that has played long period of time for Bangladesh. They will take those advice and move forward. Yeah, I mean that that's all we can do at this moment.

[Reporter:]

Was time and over rate a consideration when you did not allow Mathews to continue?

[Shakib Al Hasan:]

No, I thought we were not slow on over rates today. But yeah, it was in the rules that a batsman has to come to the crease within that certain period of time and he wasn't there at that time.
 
Pathirana could have been used as a death bowler like DHoni did. Sadly they tried to use him as an all phase bowler and got hurt badly. Lack of all phase bowlers has hurt Srilanka badly. Madhushanka is good. But others have to step up.
 
BD overall was the better team and deserved to win, but this win will be a tainted one and should be marked with an *, ala Junaids style:angelo
 
This was a competition to determine who is the worst cricket team in the tournament. Unfortunately they title is still being contested between these two teams after the end of the game.
 
Today's rather awkward post-match press conference by Shakib Al Hasan.
