New Delhi: Bangladesh defeats Sri Lanka by 3 wickets.
On the brink of elimination, Sri Lanka began battling already eliminated Bangladesh in ODI 38 of the ongoing 2023 World Cup. Shakib al Hasan’s Bangladesh bat first at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis, who lost the toss, said he doesn’t mind batting first and will be looking to post a total of more than 300.
Shanto has moved to 80 off 87, Shakib on 62 off 54. They bossed it at the moment and Sri Lanka look quite bereft of ideas.
The match has been in the news for non-cricketing reasons. Bangladesh players who are suffering from Asthma owing to the pollution in Delhi had to wear mask and skip practice sessions.
The first official ODI match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was played in 1979, with Sri Lanka emerging victorious. This set the tone for the early years of the rivalry, as Sri Lanka dominated the majority of encounters. However, Bangladesh gradually began to close the gap, and by the early 2000s, the two teams were evenly matched.
