That ends a surprisingly one-sided game in Colombo. Bangladesh started well with the ball and closed out the first innings well, but lost the plot in the middle overs. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, capitalized only in the middle overs, with both, bat and ball. They would be buoyed by this win but both sides will admit that there is some improvement needed in both departments. The second ODI is scheduled on Saturday, 5th July, 2025, at this same venue, Colombo, with the first ball being scheduled to be bowled at 9 am GMT, but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early then. In the meanwhile. you can catch updates from around the globe, like the England-India Test, and the West Indies-Australia clash and also the Zimbabwe-South Africa encounter. Enjoy yourself. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
The victorious skipper of SRI LANKA, CHARITH ASALANKA is also adjudged the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fantastic 106. Says that when he came out to bat, it was a difficult time for his side, and hence, he was only trying to do his basics right. Believes that he got a good start and just thought to play according to the situation. On the Lankan collapse in the death overs, Asalanka is disappointed that his side could not cash in with Bangladesh struggling with injuries, but also admits that there was simply no firepower. On the excellent Lankan fielding, Charith smiles and calls it simply amazing. Goes onto say that Sri Lanka's best fielding unit is its ODI team. On being asked about his habit of steering the sinking Lankan ship time and time again through crucial knocks, Asalanka shys away and laughs. Ends by saying that he has nothing much to say about that.
The captain of Bangladesh, MEHIDY HASAN MIRAZ, admits that the toss turned out to be crucial. Feels that the wicket was good and his team bowled really well, especially the fast bowling unit and took wickets early, but rues the fact that they could not get wickets in the middle overs. Credits Asalanka for the way he played. Believes that if Bangladesh had got wickets in the middle overs, they could have had a different result. On the cramps affecting the Bangladesh players, Mehidy admits that it was a big thing, as a couple of his main bowlers went down. But adds that this can happen in ODI cricket. On the run chase, Miraz says that his team did well with the bat in the first 20 overs and Tanzid Hasan batted well but admits that the mistake was in the run out of Najmul Hossain Shanto. On the middle-order collapse, Mehidy agrees that the batters did not play well. Details that back-to-back wickets are always a problem and if they had spent some time in the middle and got a small partnership of 20-25 runs, they could have managed to chase the target down.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier, in the game, it was Sri Lanka who were in sorts of trouble at 29/3 in the 7th over. But skipper Charith Asalanka batted like a rock and carried the team along, batting till the 50th over. His 106 helped form decent partnerships with Kusal Mendis, Liyanage, Rathnayake and even Hasaranga. Given the platform they had, at 226/6, with 5 overs left, the skipper would have expected to get to around 275-280, especially with Bangladesh cramping, but they had a mini collapse, which restricted them to 244. Taskin Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers with 4 scalps while Tanzim Hasan Sakib chipped in with 3. Please stay tuned for the presentation.
A tough pill to swallow for the visitors. They come from a place where spin is played well and to lose 8 wickets to spin will not go down well with them. Add to the fact that they were coasting to victory at one stage. Tanzid Hasan looked superb at the top but the middle order just got blown away, except for one lone fighter in Jaker Ali, who continued his impressive form with another half century.
That particular run out of Shanto seemed to spark a brilliance in the Lankan camp. They just threw themselves on the field like cheetahs and it seemed like Bangladesh were taking it a bit easy. Before you could blink your eye, the visitors slipped from 100/1 to 105/8 - that's 7 wickets for 5 runs in the span of 27 balls! The tourists had no idea what hit them. After the run out, spin claimed all the 8 wickets to fall as Wanindu Hasaranga and Kamindu Mendis destroyed that middle order. Jaker Ali tried to stretch the game deep but the result could not be changed.
Chasing 245 for a win, Bangladesh got off to a flier, primarily riding on Tanzid Hasan's form. He looked extremely fluent as the ball seemed to be skidding onto the bat nicely under the lights. Former skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto was giving him good company as well, with the pair doing well for the second wicket. Then, something happened. At 99/1, Najmul looked to pinch a couple but it turned out to be a risky call and he was run out. Little did he know, it was probably the biggest call of death knell ever made.
Brilliance or a gift served on a platter? Call it what you want but Sri Lanka have pulled a rabbit out of the hat. For around 15-odd overs, they looked at sea in the run chase but one opportunity came their way and they kicked the door open. Have to question Bangladesh's mindset with the bat but that takes nothing away from the home side.

Drama in Colombo! The umpire has signalled PENALTY to Sri Lanka and this means, 5 PENALTY RUNS get added in Bangladesh's scorecard! This is as per the new rule, which states that if you are found behind the timer in starting the new over and have been warned twice, you will face a penalty on the third attempt.
5 Penalty runs awarded to Bangladesh.

DRINKS! The result looks inevitable here unless Jaker Ali can pull off something special here, but he will also need Mustafizur Rahman to hold the other end as they only have one wicket remaining. Sri Lanka will feel that they have things under control, and it is only a matter of time. But they still cannot take things lightly and try to force the issue and wrap things up as quickly as possible.

Kamindu Mendis To Taskin Ahmed OUT!
OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust! Kamindu Mendis gets his second in the over, or does he? Taskin Ahmed takes the review after having a chat with his partner. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. OUT it is! Coming to the delivery, Mendis bowls the arm ball, full and on middle, angling in a hit. Taskin strides out to defend but plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the pads. Number eight down for Bangladesh, and Taskin takes a review with himself as well. Sri Lanka just a couple of wickets away from the win now!

Kamindu Mendis To Tanzim Hasan Sakib OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Another stunner and Sanath Jayasuriya in the Lankan dugout is besides himself! Sri Lanka just can't do anything wrong in this last half hour. 6 wickets for 4 runs in the last 24 balls! A full toss, on middle, Tanzim leans and flicks it uppishly through mid-wicket. But Maheesh Theekshana at short mid-wicket leaps to his left and takes a very good catch! Second wicket to Kamindu and this is the 5th wicket to spin in this innings. Tanzim departs for 1 (6) and from 100/1, Bangladesh have slipped down to 104/7! Equation - 141 from 178!

Hasaranga appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Mehidy takes the review but Ball Tracking shows it to be hitting leg stump! Wicket number 3 for 'Wow'indu and this is the second duck in the innings! From 100/1, Bangladesh have slipped to 103/6 and the equation reads - 142 from 185!

Kamindu Mendis To Jaker Ali
Huge appeal for LBW, turned down! Full, around off, Jaker looks to defend but is squared up and the ball goes off something to short third. He wants a single but is sent back. Now, Sri Lanka believe they have their man and take the review for LBW. The third umpire checks it but on the first replay itself, he is convinced that Jaker has hit it. Rules it not out but Charith Asalanka is not convinced. He wants the third umpire to use technology and UltraEdge detects a spike when the ball is past the bat. Not sure whether the fielding captain can force the umpire to use technology. That's the latter's call. Besides, it was clearly evident from the replay.

Wanindu Hasaranga To Tanzid Hasan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That is a stunner and this game is wide and truly open! Wow. Does not take long for 101 to follow 100. Full, outside off, Tanzid Hasan looks to hammer this through mid off and for a major part of that event, it seems like the ball is in the gap. But Janith Liyanage races across to his right from mid off and literally flies, taking a terrific two-hander, actually going backwards! Also makes sure that despite the dive and the contact with the ground, the ball did not pop out. Tanzid departs for 62 (61) and from 100/1, Bangladesh have slipped to 102/4! Equation - 143 from 193.

Wanindu Hasaranga To Litton Das OUT!
OUT! LBW! Sri Lanka overturn the onfield decision! Excellent use of the review. The googly, outside off, Litton Das lunged across to defend but missed as the ball spun back in and hit him on the pads. Hasaranga started off on a celebratory run, but the umpire stood firm. Were there two noises? No, says Hasaranga. His skipper and keeper have a chat and Wanindu is convinced this is gone. Asalanka signals the 'T' and UltraEdge returns a flat line, when the ball is close to the bat. Ball Tracking shows it to be hitting leg stump! 100 ODI WICKETS FOR HASARANGA and he is the second quickest Sri Lankan to this milestone! Litton comes and goes for a 4-baller and from 100/1, Bangladesh are now 101/3 in 17.2 overs! Equation - 144 from 196 balls.

DRINKS BREAK. How costly could that misjudgement prove, from Shanto? Bangladesh were looking all over Sri Lanka like a rash and the hosts were desperate for a wicket. The pitch is not offering much, apart from inconsistent bounce here and there and the home side will hope that this triggers a collapse. The visitors, on the other hand, will aim for one more strong stand to get a 1-0 lead. Litton Das walks in next, at number 4, replacing Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Maheesh Theekshana To Najmul Hossain Shanto OUT!
OUT! NAJMUL HOSSAIN SHANTO IS RUN OUT! What a bonus for Sri Lanka. They were looking down and out and this has come as a blessing to them. A straight delivery, around middle and leg, Najmul Hossain Shanto worked this through square leg and called for two. It seemed like the two was on because it was Shanto's call. But Milan Rathnayake charged onto the ball from deep backward square leg and returned a powerful throw to the keeper, Kusal Mendis. Suspect that Shanto was not expecting the throw to be so accurate and had to step on the accelerator around the midway mark. Towards the end, had to put in the dive and by that time, Kusal seemed to have taken the bails off. The Lankans started to celebrate but the umpire wanted double confirmation and sent it upstairs. The first replay was clear enough to show that Najmul was short, even with the dive but the third umpire took multiple replays before eventually being satisfied. OUT flashes on the giant screen and the crowd roars! The 71-run stand has been broken and Najmul Hossain Shanto departs for 23 (26). Bangladesh are 100/2 and need another 145 from 201 balls!
Run out check! Sri Lanka are already celebrating. The third umpire is called into action. And it will be a wicket!

Maheesh Theekshana To Tanzid Hasan
On middle and leg, worked towards short mid-wicket. Immediately, the umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge, ask Theekshana to stay away from the danger area. The replay shows that his right foot was coming near the danger area in the followthrough. What this implies is Theekshana cannot bowl from close to the stumps.
Maheesh Theekshana returns. 2-0-10-0 so far.

FOUR! Shanto is taking the game to the bowlers here! Asitha Fernando goes a bit full and wide outside off. Shanto once again charges down the track and tries to loft it away. He ends up slicing it but gets it well over point as it teases the fielder but wins the race to the fence.

Asitha Fernando To Parvez Hossain Emon OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! There goes the first wicket. A total waste. That's the way the new generation plays, not necessarily putting a price tag on their wicket. A short ball, around middle, Emon goes for the pull but the ball skids off the surface and hence, comes on much quicker than his anticipation. Additionally, the ball was angling away from him and hence, the batter had to drag the pull to the leg side. Got a top edge which went straight up in the air. A couple of fielders go for the catch but the keeper, Kusal Mendis calls for it. The ball swirls in the air and he nearly ends up running back and forth, but eventually, takes the catch safely. Parvez Hossain Emon departs for 13 (16) and Bangladesh are 29/1 after 4.4 overs! Equation - 216 from 272.

Oh dear, that is a hack. On a length, outside off, Tanzid jumps down the track and swings wildly. Is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and gets a top edge which nearly flies down the throat of deep third. The ball lands just in front. A single taken.

FOUR! BEAUTY! On a length, outside off, Tanzid Hasan shows the full face of the bat and just punches it down the ground. Mid off tries to get across to his left but the ball is already past him! 229 more needed from 285 balls.
Hissssss. Oh my word. A snake is on the ground and it is calmly going about its job, around the point boundary! Hopefully, it is not poisonous but still, would be better if someone helps it off the field and into somewhere which can be called its natural habitat!

Plenty of swing but down the leg side. The ball starts from around leg stump but swings further down the leg side, on a fuller length. Emon misses out on the flick and gets hit on the pads. The ball rolls aside down the leg side and the batters take a leg bye.

Nothing much on the Free Hit. Fired in outside off, Emon looks to go over the top but mid off is nearly three-quarters of the way ahead of the ropes. Jogs back a touch and takes the catch but since this is a Free Hit, the catch won't count. A single taken.

Mixup, but safe. Down the leg side, Tanzid looks to flick but misses. The ball goes off his pads through the vacant leg slip region and Emon calls him through for the single. Tanzid is ball watching and hence, sets off late and in the meanwhile, the fielder from first slip quickly gets to the ball. Fires a throw at the bowler's end but the batter makes it in. Leg bye signalled. Tanzid apologizes to his partner.

Full, on leg stump, from over the wicket, pitches and zips through, Tanzid Hasan defends.
Interesting opening over. That new ball swung but leaked runs as well. Will we see spin from this end? Indeed. Maheesh Theekshana, who has got so much experience in operating with the new ball in T20s, will bowl from the other end, with the second new ball.
