Sri Lanka [280/9] beat Bangladesh [210] by 70 runs, series ends 1-1

[Abdul]

Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bowl.

 

[MMHS]

At least, we won the toss ............

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Quite a good series. Hoping BD can win the series.

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Mustafiz early in this match

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Srilanka playing well here.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mustafizur getting spanked.

 

[MMHS]

Mustafiz doesn't have much control of the new ball. This happens when bowler at young age don't learn to grip properly.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

14 of the Mustafiz over.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mustafiz doesn't have much control of the new ball. This happens when bowler at young age don't learn to grip properly.

I think he should bowl in middle and death overs.

 

[MMHS]

Hat-trick gone to his head, should have been dropped today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Poor over from Taskin.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Bangla needs wickets.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Great balling by bd.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bd is winning this match if not sl wins it

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

I don't know why bd taking pressure?! It should be sl who would be under pressure.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

84/1 in 13.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Last 5 overs 12/2.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good comeback by BD.

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh now back in the game.

 

[MMHS]

Absolute rubbish bowling - conceding back to back boundaries at 180 apart.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

back to back fours.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Too much extras today.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mendis should also play a little faster.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Fizz back.

 

[DRsohail]

bangldesh on back foot..mutafiz has been ordinary so far..

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh has bowled poorly today. Not enough length balls. Too many slowers, short and leg side deliveries

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Bangladesh has bowled poorly today. Not enough length balls. Too many slowers, short and leg side deliveries

Also too many extras.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

overconfidence costing them the match

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh fighting back strongly

 

[Belawal2014]

How was that given out though? Bat was grounded when bails were first removed.

 

[Executioner]

How was that given out though? Bat was grounded when bails were first removed.

No the bat was in the air. Slight gap between bat and shadow.

 

[Executioner]

That was lazy running from chandimal. These things loses you matches

 

[Belawal2014]

No the bat was in the air. Slight gap between bat and shadow.

Could be. I only had one glance at the replay.

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lanka deserve to loose. Don't know how to catch and keep running themselves out

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh need to keep bowling well here

 

[Executioner]

Why are we bowling out Fizz. Who will bowl at the death. Please not Mashrafe at the death

 

[Citizen4]

nice 50 by Mendis but he really needs to accelerate now, his strike rate is too low

 

[Executioner]

Surprised Fizz hasn't had the cutter much today.

 

[Citizen4]

From 76/0 in 10 overs to 112/2 in 20 overs to 203/5 in 40 overs 320+ was possible but Sri Lanka messed it up again, they won't even get to 300 now

 

[Sanzcool]

Absolutely pathetic over-rate from Bangla, deserves a fine for being so slow

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh bowled poorly up first which is why Lanka got so many runs early.

Let's see how we chase. Won't be anything more than 280 I guess

 

[Citizen4]

awful batting by Sr Lanka, no boundary in ages, at this stage of the game it's beyond pathetic

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Terrible fielding

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mustafiz getting tonked

 

[Citizen4]

good over for Lanka 11 runs, lower order is better than middle order

 

[Citizen4]

Perrera smashing it around, 250 up

 

[Citizen4]

excellent innings by Perrera again, 50*(37)

 

[Dios]

Mash bowling the final over? Wth?

 

[Citizen4]

target of 281. About 30-40 runs short

 

[pakistani pride]

target of 281. About 30-40 runs short

Mehhh. Will be a tight game. Chasing close to 300 is not easy in SL.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

SL from 76-0 only reached 280-9. Bangladesh from 64-1 had gotten 324-5 in the first game.

I think its pretty even, but slight advantage to BD with their experience and deep batting.

 

[Executioner]

I would back Bangladesh to chase this.

Srilanka's bowling is weak. Kula Pereras Prasanna and lakmal isn't too threatening tbh.

Our batting is strong in these conditions. Our no. 8 is a batsman with maturity of a middle order batsman.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Will be an interesting chase,let's see how Bangladesh responds.

 

[MMHS]

Last couple of overs didn't do well - Thishara's innings can be game changer. 260 would have been comfortable chase. BD is playing to win 1st major away series, which never easy in a chasing course.

 

[MMHS]

Keeper's catch.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

lucky 4 for Tamim.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

lets see what Soumya does here.
Tricky chase.

 

[Dios]

Shabbir lol.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

big wicket of Tamim.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Pressure on BD.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Kulasekara picks 2 important wickets.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

dont think Shabbir is suitable at 1 down.
At no 3 you need someone who can score 100s and carry the innings like Kohli, Root, Williamson, Smith, Babar. BD should invest on someone else at no 3 like Mosaddek.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Sabbir gone for a 3 ball duck.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Huge responsibility on these 2 now.

 

[Sanzcool]

Good try Bangla, 1-1

 

[saeed5646]

ban is choking again ,i cannot believe their constant choking

bye bye mushi ban 11/3

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mushfiqur Rahim gone for first ball duck.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Terrible collapse.

 

[pakistani pride]

SL need to get the overs in fast. It will rain again.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Can Shakib pull of a miracle here?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

No way bd can win this match. Over confidence stupids

 

[Arsalan Pro]

14/3 in 4

 

[Dios]

Umpires ruining this match.

 

[saeed5646]

SL need to get the overs in fast. It will rain again.

by the looks of it they were unlucky in last odi .Srilanka would have won that if rain have stayed away

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Umpires ruining this match.

both Tamim and Mushfiq were out.

 

[pakistani pride]

by the looks of it they were unlucky in last odi .Srilanka would have won that if rain have stayed away

For sure SL would have won that match. Lets hope rain stays away and series is tied. Good result for pak.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Time to send Bangladeshi players on a Pakistan tour

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Required run rate now almost 6.

 

[saeed5646]

Time to send Bangladeshi players on a Pakistan tour

if i told you reality about how popular ban team is for pak marketing team you will get hurt better we

stay on the match thread

 

[Arsalan Pro]

17/3 in 6 overs.
