Here are the Highlights of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2023 clash:
- 21:53 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: Sri Lanka win the game!!!Sri Lanka have won the game by 5 wickets. It's an easy victory for the side as they were chasing a paltry target of 165 runs. Matheesha Pathirana's four-wicket haul set the tone for victory before Charith Asalanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama slamed fifties to make sure there is no upset in the game.
- 21:24 (IST)
- 20:55 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: Fifty for Samarawickrama!Sadeera Samarawickrama races to his fourth ODI fifty in 59 balls. This is a sublime knock from him. He looked set from the word go and has maintained his dominance over the Bangladesh bowlers so far. Sri Lanka are bossing this game.
- 20:20 (IST)
- 19:55 (IST)
- 19:21 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: OUT!!!Another wicket for Bangladesh and they are back in the game. That's poor batting from Pathum Nissanka and he will have to pay the price for it. It was a length ball from Shoriful Islam going well away from Nissanka yet the batter threw his bat to it to get an edge. Mushfiqur Rahim comfortably took the catch behind the stumps.
- 19:13 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: WICKET!An early wicket for Bangladesh. This is what Bangladesh exactly needed in the defence of a paltry total. Coming back to the delivery, it was bowled fuller from Taskin to Dimuth Karunaratne. The ball swung into the batter and rattled the stumps. Karunaratne fell for 1 runs off 3 balls.
- 18:24 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: Shanto is gone!!!Shanto is out at the score of 89 off 122 balls! It was a carrom ball from Maheesh Theekshana that got better of Shanto. The Bangladesh batter wanted to flick the ball on the leg side but played the wrong line. As a result, the ball went through the gate and creasehed onto the stumps.
- 18:17 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: WICKET!Mahedi Hasan has been given out! He seems plumb prima facie and so did was the thinking of umpire, who raised his finger without wasting time. Bangladesh have taken a review but that could not save Mahedi as the ball was found to be clipping the leg stump.
- 17:54 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: OUT!!!Mehidy Hasan Miraz is run out! The batter nudged the ball down the leg side in front of mid-wicket fielder and ran a steps forward before denying a single to Shanto. The latter, however, ran to the next end with Miraz being outside the crease when the bails at the non-striker's end were taken off. Mehidy falls for 5 runs off 11 balls.
- 17:27 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: Lucky there, Shanto!A short ball from Matheesha Pathirana and with the mid-on well inside the circle Najmul Hossain Shanto decided to go for a lofted shot. He failed to time his pull well but he was lucky that the ball fell just behind the mid-wicket fielder.
- 16:55 (IST)Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live: OUT!The 59-run partnership for the fourth wicket has been broken by Dasun Shanaka. The Sri Lanka skipper trapped Towhid Hridoy in front of the stumps and then followed it up with a brilliant review as the umpire was unconvinced with the appeal. Pressure is back on Bangladesh.
