BAN vs SL Team Previews
Bangladesh
The Bangladesh batters made a valiant effort to chase down a huge target set by the Sri Lankans. Their bowlers could not contain the batting charge of Sri Lankan batters, especially during the death overs. But the Bangladesh batters showed desperation in an attempt to chase the target and came quite close to achieving it. This batting effort was led by Jakee Ali and the experienced batter Mahmudullah. Ali scored 68 runs, while Mahmudullah hit 54. The Bangladesh batters were in with a chance until the last ball of the game.
They needed six runs from the last ball, but this effort was beyond the capabilities of Taskin Ahmed. Things might have become easier for the Bangla batters if they had succeeded in getting a good start during the chase. Both their highly rated openers, Towhid Hridoy and Litton Das, got out cheaply. Although the skipper Najmul Shanto made an excellent contribution to Mahmudullah, they fell short in the end. Mustafizur Rahman did some good work early on the Bangladesh bowling effort but gave away many runs in the end overs.
Bangladesh Playing 11
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain.
Sri Lanka
Batting first in this series opener, the Sri Lankan batters amassed 206 runs while losing just three wickets. However, they did not get to a flyer. They lost Avishka Fernando's wicket early. But Mendis led the Sei Lankan batting effort in the middle overs. But Mendis lost his wicket when he looked like he was getting a big score. Kusal Mendis continued his excellent work with Sadeera Samarawickrama, hammering 61 runs from 48 balls. The Player of the Match, Charith Asalanka, also scored 44 runs from 21 balls with six huge sixes.
During their defense, the experienced Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Matthews struck in the first and fifth over of their innings to pick up the crucial wickets of Towhid Hridoy and Litton Das. Bindura Fernando picked up Sowmya Sarkar, and Pathirana got rid of the Bangla skipper Najmul Hossain, who made 20 runs from 22 balls. The rearguard action by the Bangla lower middle order nearly spoiled the day for Sri Lankans just when it appeared that Jaker Ali would get his team to the target. Dasun Shanaka bowled with aplomb and gave away just eight runs in the last over.
Sri Lanka Playing 11
Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Binura Fernando, Matheesha Pathirana.
