WATCH: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka throws up another controversy, batter nicks the ball yet given not out by third umpire

It’s now become somewhat of a cheatcode. Bangladesh play Sri Lanka, one thing leads to another and voila, we have a controversy. The latest surfaced during the second T20I between the two teams at Sylhet in the three-match series. With Sri Lanka leading 1-0, and Bangladesh needing 166 to win, Binura Fernando would manage to find a nick off Soumya Sarkar’s bat leading to a caught behind appeal. The on-field umpire deemed it out but Bangladesh would go upstairs for a check. The UltraEdge would confirm there was indeed an edge but much to the surprise of the Sri Lankan players, the third umpire deemed Sarkar not out. Watch the entire incident develop here: DRAMA! Clear noise > on-field umpire signals out > review taken > 3rd umpire rules not out despite UltraEdge! Bangladesh-Sri ...

Angelo Mathews dismissal: Moin backs Shakib’s decision, Misbah questions ‘spirit of game,’ Akram recalls Sachin-Shoaib collison in 1999 Kolkata Test

Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan has backed Shakib AL Hasan’s decision in Angelo Mathews’ dismissal but his co-panelist Misbah-ul-Haq and Shoaib Malik slammed the Bangladesh captain, while Wasim Akram recalls an incident from the famous Kolkata Test played between India and Pakistan. “You take such decisions on the field. By the laws Shakib was within his rights. Shakib has said he took the decision because he wanted his team to win and I think it was a correct decision. I might have done the same,” Moin said on A Sports. Follow all the action from the Cricket World Cup 2023 on our special World Cup section.

Angelo Mathews’ timed-out dismissal ignited the simmering rivalry but Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan had the last laugh

With both teams out of World Cup semifinal contention, and much of the buildup highlighted by the toxic air around the smog-filled cauldron of the Kotla, the latest edition to the feisty cricket rivalry between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka seemed to be heading down an eventless path midway through the first innings. All of a sudden, it got its moment of animosity.Angelo Mathews’ timed out dismissal will cause much debate. Over the ‘spirit of cricket’ after Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan appealed for the decision – which was well within the rules – when Mathews seemed to have a problem with his helmet. Over Mathews’s lack of awareness of the rules. Over the rules themselves, as a batsman’s malfunctioning equipment led to his dismissal without facing a ball. //www.instagram.com/embed....

It was disgraceful, never seen a team going down to that level: Angelo Mathews on ‘time out’ drama | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: A furious Angelo Mathews lashed out at Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan and his team after his 'timed out' dismissal snowballed into a major controversy at the World Cup on Monday.After the Sri Lanka all-rounder became the first international cricketer to be 'timed out' for not being ready to face the ball within two minutes of the fall of a wicket, Mathews hit out at Bangladesh over their 'disgraceful' actions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi."I haven't done anything wrong. I had two minutes to get ready which I did but there was an equipment malfunction and I don't know where commonsense (had) gone. It was disgraceful from Shakib and Bangladesh," Mathews said during the post-match press conference."If they want to play cricket like that, stoop to that level, it is...

World Cup: All-round Shakib wins ill-tempered battle with Sri Lanka, keeps Bangladesh’s Champions Trophy hopes alive | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Shakib Al Hasan took it upon himself to add some spark to a rather insignificant World Cup here at the Arun Jaitley stadium on Monday. When he decided to appeal for a ‘timed out’ dismissal against Angelo Mathews in the 25th over of the match, he knew it was up to him to see Bangladesh home against their bitter rivals Sri Lanka.And Shakib emerged triumphed in an ill-tempered match as his fluent 65-ball 82, along with Nazmul Hossain Shanto’s calm 101-ball 90, set up Bangladesh’s three-wicket win with nine overs to spare in the chase of 280.Mathews did hit back when he dismissed Shakib with a slower ball in the 32nd over. As Shakib walked back, the veteran Lankan allrounder sarcastically pointed at his wrist to suggest Shakib’s time was over. Eventually, it’s Sri Lanka who are r...

Asia Cup: Dasun Shanaka leads from front as Sri Lanka beats Bangladesh for 13th consecutive win

The entire focus of the Asia Cup has been on India and Pakistan. But Sri Lanka, as was the case in the last edition where they emerged as surprise winners of the tournament held in the T20 format, are sending warning signals again. And they are doing it in style too, with their 21-run win over Bangladesh at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Saturday being their 13th consecutive one in ODIs with only the Australian team of 2003 ahead of them. Sri Lanka may not have big names in their squad, but in their own conditions where there is a balance between bat and ball, they have all the resources to excel. Of course, there is a long way to go, but it is also pertinent to remember that this is a depleted Sri Lanka squad missing four of its first-choice players due to injuries.Most Read 1 ...

Asia Cup 2023, BAN vs SL: Dasun Shanaka’s men win with MS Dhoni’s personnel

It is a scene that played out repeatedly during the Indian Premier League, of two special young Sri Lankan bowlers playing a stellar role in Chennai Super Kings’ march to the title. Even the conditions at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium at times resembled what Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana had encountered at Chepauk in April and May, wearing the famous yellow jersey. For a Sri Lanka team ravaged by injuries ahead of the Asia Cup, the duo provided the lift they desperately sought in their bowling, as they set up a comfortable five-wicket win over Bangladesh on Thursday. This win should serve a reminder, rather a warning, to the rest that in these slow conditions, overcoming the hosts, though depleted by the absence of four first-choice players, won’t be an easy t...

Which Asian cricketing rivalry is the spiciest? India-Pakistan, Afghanistan-Pakistan or Bangladesh-Sri Lanka?

A strange triumvirate of cricketing rivalries will pop up this Asia Cup. The oldest is India vs Pakistan, but two other battles too come with spice warnings. Afghanistan vs Pakistan of course that even dragged in a retired Shoaib Akhtar during the last Asia Cup after chairs flew around in the stands but the most surprising development in the recent years is the third rivalry: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh. In some ways, it would have been understandable had the politics centred on the birth of a nation had spilled over to the cricket field when Pakistan and Bangladesh face each other. Instead, Bangladesh’s fiercest rivalry is with Sri Lanka, notwithstanding ‘mauka-mauka’ taunts amongst their fans and India’s. Sri Lanka, usually regarded on par with New Zealand as a nice friendly cricketing na...

Sri Lanka, Bangladesh look to rise above injuries, modest form for winning start in Asia Cup

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be eager to shake off modest ODI form and spate of injuries to key players as they seek to start their Asia Cup campaign on a winning note when they face each other here on Thursday.Sri Lanka, who won the Asia Cup in 2022 in its T20 avatar, could not even announce their squad for this edition till Tuesday, courtesy niggles and COVID-19 infection to a couple of players.The Lankans lost Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka to various injuries, while Kusal Perera, who last played an ODI in 2021, is yet to make full recovery from COVID-19 infection. But even before these setbacks, Sri Lanka’s run in the ODIs this year has been sub-par. They started the year with a 0-3 drubbing at the hands of India, and then lost to New ...
