🏏 Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #38: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka:🏏 - Page 57

Congrats on BD finally winning Jo

Shakib decided to perform the only time when i didnt pick him

Bangladesh needed to chase down 280, and they got 169 of them via a third-wicket partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto. The two left-handers have had a woeful time in the World Cup, but they turned up today to make it a fairly comfortable win despite the late wickets towards the end. There was more drama in terms of byplay than there was in the actual game with plenty of heated arguments and a sendoff or two after what had transpired earlier when Mathews was timed out. The two coaches can be seen having a chat now even as the players shake hands peacefully. Meanwhile, this defeat confirms that Sri Lanka are out of the semis race. They didn't have enough on the board at a venue where we have seen massive scores in this competition. Dilshan Madushanka gave them some hope with two early wickets, and then Shakib looked scratchy early on. But once he got his eye in, and the dew settled in, him and Shanto really took the game away.

Congratulations to Redflag [155] for winning the 38th match badge.

Shakib Al Hasan | Player of the Match: They are two important players (Mendis and Samarawickrama), lucky to get those two wickets. There wasn't much for the bowlers, we bowled really well upfront. Spinners kept it tight. Both the spinners bowled really well. Bowling wins us more matches, fast bowlers were bowling really well up to the World Cup. We couldn't live up to our expectations but we knew that we can fight back, we had that mentality. We kept on believing and we kept on coming back and today it paid off. The ground dimension helped as well, the shorter boundary, there was a lot of pace on the ball, so I just had to use the pace, luckily it came off and from there on I never looked back. (Best performance came a little late?) I'd agree with that, we could have been consistent, that's one disappointment.

Mendis: Charith played a brilliant knock. But we were 30-40 runs short. Happy that some good young players coming through, and happy we have shown some promise in this tournament. In the future we'll have a good team. We had injuries to main players, also did some mistakes. Had we played better cricket, we would've had a better chance. It's very disappointing - when Angelo came to the crease. There were 5 second left. Then he found out strap of the helmet came off. It's disappointing umpires couldn't step in and make correct decision.

Congrats redflag

What happened with hridoy and mendis? Anyone has the video?

Umpire asked twice Shakib if he wants Mathews go back.

&

Shakib firmly agreed on sending Mathews back.

In cases like this opposite team's Captain decision is given importance.

It is same as if Umpire gives out and fielding team wants the batsman back, he is allowed to go back playing.
