Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Highlights, World Cup 2023: Shakib, Shanto shine as Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 3 wickets for second win

Charith Asalanka's century went in vain as Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in an inconsequential match of the World Cup here on Monday.

Sent in to bat, middle-order batter Asalanka scored a 105-ball 108, while opener Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama made identical scores of 41 runs each to help Sri Lanka post 279 all out in 49.3 overs in a contest between teams which are out of semifinal contention.

Bangladesh scored the required runs in 41.1 overs for the loss of seven wickets.

The Sri Lankan innings was marred by an incident where Angelo Mathews became the first international cricketer to be 'timed out' after not being ready to face the ball within two minutes of the fall of a wicket.

The 36-year-old walked out to bat after the dismissal of Samarawickrama but had some issues with his helmet strap and signalled for a replacement, prompting Bangladesh to appeal for a 'time out'.

Mathews was seen having a animated discussion with the umpires but the Sri Lankan was asked to leave the field.

Later, Najmul Hossain Shanto (90) and skipper Shakib Al Hasan (82) shared 161 runs for the third wicket to lay the foundation for the win, reaching 282 for 7 in 41.1 overs.

Dilshan Madushanka (3/69) was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, while Angelo Mathews (2/35) returned with two wickets, including the scalp of Shakib.

Brief scores:

Sri Lanka: 279 all out in 49.3 overs (Pathum Nissanka 41, Sadeera Samarawickrama 41, Charith Asalanka 108, Dhananjaya de Silva 34; Shakib Al Hasan 2/57, Tanzim Hasan Sakib 3/80, Shoriful Islam 2/52).

Bangladesh: 282 for 7 in 41.1 overs (Najmul Hossain Shanto 90, Shakib Al Hasan 82; Dilshan Madushanka 3/69).

Bizarre turn of events - Angelo Mathews timed-out and walks back without facing a single ball

After the dismissal of Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews had two minutes to get to the middle and be ready for the next ball. However, as soon as he Angelo put on the helmet and tried to tighten it, the strap of his helmet broke. His teammate quickly got the to ground with another helmet but by then the 2-minute time was up. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan asked the umpires over the delay and raised an appeal for the dismissal. Mathews tried to plead his case but after a long discussion with the umpires, Mathews was adjudged timed-out.

Looks like a good wicket, I don't mind batting first. We want to put up a good score on this pitch, I think 300 plus would be good. We have two changes. Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya come in and Karunaratne and Hemantha are out.

Kusal Mendis

13:35 (IST) Nov 06

We would field first, looks like a very good surface. There was a lot of dew when we practiced. There are a lot of expectations but we couldn't fill up. We have two more games and we would like to do well. We have to be technically sound and also mentally sound. We have one change - Mustafiz is not fit enough and Tanzim Shakib in place.

Shakib Al Hasan

SL vs BAN: THE TOSS!

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan wins toss, opts to bowl against Sri Lanka

13:31 (IST) Nov 06

When you look at the weather for today, it's promising, high of 30 and low of 17. There's a breeze blowing across and humidity is 40 percent, so good conditions for playing cricket. 63 square boundaries on both sides, and 72m straight down the ground. The grass has been cut, it's live grass and it's very low. I'm assuming the ball will continue to come onto the bat nicely. Faster bowlers have to hit the ball into the surface. There might be a bit of swing on offer with the new ball. There won't be much spin. Win the toss and bat first.

12:53 (IST) Nov 06

We just asked them (ICC) what's the plan. So, they said they will actually have a discussion, and then they'll come back. And I think they have installed some equipment here, and they've got specialists to check things out. So, they are planning to go ahead with the game. So, we will do exactly what the ICC tells us to do. We are constantly in touch with our medical team panel back in Sri Lanka. Actually, the professor who is in charge is already in India. We are in touch with him, the team doctor. And definitely we will be looking at the air quality index, but we will be guided by the ICC and I think they have a medical panel here so they will be giving us instructions. When we came, we were told to wear masks.
