ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 Match 16 Bangladesh Vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka collapses in front of the 261st winner of Bangladesh and lost to 137 defeats in its first match in the Asian Cup.

It took Sri Lanka 29 more players to cross the 100-point mark. At that time, they had lost eight wickets, but the game was over long before.

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Mustafizur Rahman and Mehedi Hasan Miraz picked up two wickets each while the Islanders lost their wickets at regular intervals but could not add much to the scoreboard.

It was thought that Bangladesh should work hard to defend a total described as below normal. In reality, however, Lankans have never posed a threat.

In the past, Bangladesh had a good 261 overall thanks to Mushfiqur Rahim's 144 undefeated strikers, who had strong late shots.

Bangladesh had reached 229 for eight before Mustafizur Rahman left the last ball of the 47th. That should have ended the Bangladesh heats, but Tamim Iqbal, with heavy bandages on his fractured hand, reappeared to play the last ball of the ball.

It was an incredible display of willingness and dedication, and Tamim pushed Suranga Lakmal's bouncer with one hand to end the match.

Mushfiqur then assured that Tamim's exploits would not be lost, smashing three six, three, four, a single and a double of the remaining balls.

Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mohammad Mithun pulled Bangladesh out of the fray with a hundredth final for the third wicket in the opening match of the Asian Cup against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Stadium today .

The pair raised the score to 119-2 after a 3-2 draw with Tamim Iqbal, who was injured in retirement. The partnership was 116 points after 23 goals, Mithun unbeaten on 57 and Mushfiqur on 54. Mithun scored his first half-century with 52 balls containing four and four. Half a century of Mushfiqur had three.

Bangladesh has had a disastrous start by losing two wickets early against a vintage vintage Lasith Malinga.

The experienced pioneer, returning to international cricket after a gap of a year, had first opened the opener, Liton Das, caught in the slip for a duck with the fifth ball before Sakib Al Hasan did the housework with a Yourker for a gold duck. Bangladesh was reduced to 1-2 after Tamim Iqbal opened the scoring on the first outing.

Bangladesh suffered another blow in the second match played by Suranga Lakmal when Tamim retired, injured twice after suffering a blow to the left wrist. The experienced southpaw left the ground to assess the extent of the injury and left Mushfiqur Rahim and Mohammad Mithun to repair the damage.

Previously, the Bangladeshi skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza won the draw and chose to beat. The good news is that, despite the concerns over recent injuries, Bangladesh has deployed considerable forces.

The only change from the last ODI in Bangladesh played in the West Indies is that the first match, Anamul Haque, gives way to Liton Das and Sabbir Rahman leaves Mohammad Mithun.

Historically, Bangladesh is really the underdog since it has won only six wins and 44 defeats against Sri Lanka. In recent times, however, the rivalry has been much more competitive. In their last five games, Bangladesh has won two wins and three losses.

Their last ODI was the final of the three series in Bangladesh in January, which the hosts lost by 79 points.
Their most recent encounter, regardless of format, was the T20 Nidahas Trophy group match, which ended in acrimony when Bangladesh eliminated the hosts in Colombo. The T20I captain, Shakib Al Hasan, had called the drummers back at some point because of an arbitrary call, and violent exchanges had ensued between the two camps.

Bangladesh team:
Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyadh, Mohammad Mithun, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (C), Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.

Sri Lanka Team:
Upul Tharanga, Akila Dhananjaya, Angelo Mathews (C), Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Thisara Perera, Dasun Shanaka, Lasith Malinga, Suranga Lakmal, Amila Aponso, Dilruwan Perera
