A practice series?

A dream series for Kamindu Mendis

The series against Bangladesh showcased the exceptional talent of the 25-year-old Sri Lankan all-rounder Kamindu Mendis. In the first Test, he notched up centuries in both innings (102 and 164) and remained unbeaten on 92 in the first innings of the second game. In the final Test, Mendis’s mystery bowling proved to be a game-changer, as he claimed the crucial wickets of Shakib Al Hasan, Shahadat Hossain, and Taijul Islam.

Following five intense days of cricket, Sri Lanka triumphed over Bangladesh by a commanding 192-run margin on Day 5, securing victory in the second and final Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Defending their formidable total of 510, Sri Lanka managed to bowl out Bangladesh for 318 on the final day’s play, despite a resilient unbeaten knock of 81 by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Lahiru Kumara showcased his prowess with the ball, claiming four crucial wickets. This victory se??aled a comprehensive 2-0 series win for Sri Lanka, marking a resounding whitew?ash.

Formidable Sri Lankan batting sets the stage

In the contest, Sri Lanka set a formidable score after opting to bat first, amassing a total of 531 runs. Although, despite six batters crossing the 50 runs mark, the absence of individual centuries was notable. Bangladesh’s response fell short as they were bundled out for 178, with Asitha Fernando leading Sri Lanka’s bowling attack with four wickets. Although Zakir Hasan managed a fifty, Bangladesh’s innings lacked substantial partnerships. Sri Lanka showed resilience in their second innings, declaring at 157/7, with veteran Angelo Mathews playing a pivot??al role by contributing a brisk 56 ??off 74 balls.

Lahiru Kumara’s bowling brilliance leads Sri Lanka’s charge

In Bangladesh’s chase of 511, they displayed determination but ultimately fell short, managing 318 runs. Mehidy Hasan was their standout performer with an unbeaten 81, although he lacked support from his teammates. Kumara’s pace troubled the Bangladeshi batters as he claimed four crucial wickets for Sri Lanka.

His exceptional perfor?mance throughout the series, which included twin centuri?es in the first Test, led to him being named the Player of the Series.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

For latest cricket news & updates, visit betvisa68.com.

In an intriguing turn during the Day 1 second Test clash between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Chattogram, the Bangladesh cricket team made a curious decision to utilize the Decision Review System (DRS) for a delivery that was nowhere near the batter’s pad, as captured in a widely circulated video on social media.

Curious DRS decision by Najmul Hossain Shanto in Chattogram Test

The incident unfolded amidst the intensity of the game, specifically during the fifth delivery of the 44th over, delivered with precision by left-arm spinner Taijul Islam. In a moment of strategic contemplation, right-handed batter Kusal Mendis elegantly maneuvered the ball to the off side?? after?? a subtle advance down the track.

Witnessing this subtle interplay, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, positioned strategically at slip, engaged in a brief discourse with the bowler before electing to challenge the umpire’s decision through the intricate mechanism of the DRS. However, upon meticulous examination through the lens of technology, the replays unequivocally demonstrated the unmistakable contact of willow on leather, thus vindicating the on-field umpire’s original verdict. In the end, Shanto appeared amused by the incident.

Changes in the playing XI

Earlier in the match, the toss of fortune favoured Sri Lanka, who, in a calculated maneuver, opted to seize the opportunity  of batting first. Notably, the Sri Lankan contingent made a solitary alteration to their esteemed playing eleven, with the agile Asitha Fernando stepping into the fray, replacing the regrettably sidelined Kasun Rajitha. Meanwhile, Bangladesh made two changes to their playing XI, including the seasoned campaigner Shakib al Hasan and the debutant Hasan Mahmud.

Sri Lanka’s toss advantage and batting display

The Sri Lankan batters orchestrated a symphony of sublime strokes, led by the triumvirate of Dilshan Madushka, Dimuth Karunaratne and Mendis. The opening partnership of?? 96 run?s between Madushka and Karunaratne unfolded with the finesse of a master craftsman, weaving together a tapestry of defiance against the relentless pursuit of the new ball by the opposition bowlers.

Partnerships and departures

Despite the lamentable departure of Madushka via a fateful runout, the imperious Karunaratne found solace in the unyielding companionship of Mendis, forging a formidable partnership of 114 runs for the second wicket. Karunaratne’s innings concluded at 86 runs off 129 balls, featuring eight boundaries and a solitary six, before falling to debutant fast bowler Mahmud.

Sri Lanka ends Day 1 on a strong point

Mendis joined experienced Angelo Mathews at the crease, and together they forged a valuable partnership of 53 runs for the third wicket. Unfortunately, Mendis’ innings came to an end when he was dismissed by Shakib for 93 runs, narrowly missing out on reaching the coveted three-figure mark. Shortly after, Mathews departed after contributing 23 runs to the team’s total. Nevertheless, Dinesh Chandimal (34) and skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (15)?? remained unbeaten as Sri Lanka concluded first day of the match with a strong total of 314/4.

Sri Lanka‘s star spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga, surprised many when he revers?ed his decision to retire from Test cricket, just in time for the upcoming series against Bangladesh. Previously, Hasaranga had announced his retirement f??rom the longest format in August last year, aiming to focus on white-ball cricket. This sudden return to Test cricket was met with optimism among Sri Lankan cricket fans, anticipating a strengthened squad to face Bangladesh.

The ban and its impact

However, the excitement was short-lived as the ICC imposed a ban on Hasaranga on Tuesday, March 19. During the third ODI of the recent series against Bangladesh, the right-armer was found guilty of breaching article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. The breach pertained to “showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match.” The incident occurred in the 37th over when Hasaranga expressed dissatisfaction with an umpiring decision by snatching his cap and criticizing the officials.

Exploiting the ICC loophole

Interestingly, some fans found a silver lining in Hasaranga’s ban. They suggest that Hasaranga may have strategically exploited a loophole in ICC regulations to make himself available for the IPL and the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Hasaranga’s ban resulted in a 50 per cent fine and three demerit points, bringing his total to eight within 24 months. His previous demerit points stemmed from incidents during the series against Afghanistan, leading to a suspension for two T20Is. The accumulation of additional demerit points now translated into four suspension points.

The smart move

Consequently, Hasaranga faces a suspension that would see him miss either two Tests, four ODIs, or four T20Is, whichever comes first. Had he not reversed his Test retirement, this ban would have seen him absent for the first four matches of Sri Lanka’s T20I World Cup campaign, potentially impacting the team significantly.

However, his ban has unexpected benefits. Had he not been banned, Hasaranga would have missed the initial games for his IPL franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). With the ban in place, he remains available for th??e entire IPL 2024 season.

Reactions and analysis

Cricket pundits and players like South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi noted the strategic nature of Hasaranga’s move, suggesting it was executed to perfection. While his absence may not have been felt strongly in the Bangladesh series, his availability for the T20 World Cup is deemed crucial. Additionally, Hasaranga’s desire to participate in IPL 2024 from the start aligns with his preparation for the forthcoming ICC event in the USA and the Caribbean.

In a dramatic turn of events, Sri Lanka’s cricket scene witnessed a surprising reversal as star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga announced his return to Test cricket after previously retiring from the format. His inclusion in Sri Lanka’s Test squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh has sparked discussions and anticipation among cricket enthusiasts wor??ldwide.

Wanindu Hasaranga returns to Test cricket for Bangladesh series

The decision comes at a pivotal moment for Sri Lanka cricket, just ahead of their two-match Test series against Bangladesh, scheduled to commence on March 22 in Sylhet, followed by the second Test in Chi?ttagong starting from March 30. Hasaranga’s return marks a significant boost for the Sri Lankan team, adding depth and versatility to their squad.

Hasaranga’s inclusion adds strength to Sri Lankan squad

Hasaranga’s retirement reversal wasn’t the only headline in the squad announcement. Joining him in the team is Nishan Peiris, who receives his maiden call-up to the national setup. Their inclusion injects fresh energy and talent into the Sri Lankan roster, complementing the seasoned players who have retained their spots from the last Test against Afghanistan.

The 17-member Sri Lankan Test squad for the Bangladesh series reflects a balance of experience and emerging talent. Led by Dhananjaya de Silva, the squad comprises stalwarts like Dimuth Karunaratne, Angelo Mathews, and Dinesh Chandimal alongside promising youngsters such as Nishan Madushka and Kamindu Mendis ??wh??o all were part of the one-off Test the Islander’s played against the Aghan side.

Sacrifice for national duty: Hasaranga set to miss initial games of IPL 2024

However, Hasaranga’s return to Test cricket comes with a sacrifice. The decision means that he will miss the initial matches of the IPL 2024, where he was set to represent the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise. Having been acquired for a substantial sum of INR 1.5 crore in the IPL auction, Hasaranga’s absence from the tournament’s early fixtures could have implications for both him and his franchise.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s campaign in IPL 2024 kicks off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on March 23, coinciding with the commencement of the Test series against Bangladesh. Hasaranga’s commitment to national duties underscores the pride and passion he holds for representing Sri Lanka on the international stage.

An important test leg for Sri Lanka and Bangladesh

The upcoming Test series holds significance for both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, offering an opportunity to strengthen their position in the World Test Championship points table. The Test leg follows an engaging white-ball action where Sri Lanka emerged victorious in the T20Is and Bangladesh tasted victory in ODIs.

The excitement surrounding the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has once again been tempered for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans as another injury setback hits the franchise. Mustafizur Rahman, the Bangladesh pace sensation and CSK’s recent acquisition found himself in a concerning situation during an ODI game against Sri Lanka. Mustafizur was taken off from the field on a stretcher during the game after cramps which has raised questions about his fitness and availability for the much-anticipated Indian league.

Mustafizur Rahman departs from field on a stretcher for the 2nd time

This isn’t the first time Mustafizur has faced injury troubles. Just a few weeks ago, he was hospitalized after being struck on the head during a practice session in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). However, he made a swift recovery and returned to action shortly after. But his recent exit from the field mid-game aga??inst Sri Lanka, and on a stretcher no less, has reignited concerns among fans and raised doubts about his readiness for IPL 2024.

Also READ: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)’s be?st playing XI for IPL 2024

Here’s what actually happened to Mustafizur

The incident occurred during the 48th over of the third ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Mustafizur, in his final over, experienced severe cramps after bowling just one ball, which was declared wide. His struggle to even walk off the field necessitated him being taken off on a stretcher. The news of Mustafizur’s injury spread rapidly, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his participation in the IPL.

Clouds of uncertainty surround Mustafizur IPL participation

CSK, already grappling with injury concerns regarding two other key players, Devon Conway and Matheesha Pathirana, find themselves in a precarious situation. With doubts looming over the fitness of these players, the franchise’s management is closely monitoring their recovery progress, hoping for a positive outcome.

The potential absence of Mustafizur from CSK’s lineup would be a significant blow. His ability to swing the ball and take crucial wickets makes him a valuable asset, especially in the fast-paced T20 format. His absence could force the team to rethink its strategies and make adjustments to its bowling lineup.

In a much-awaited contest at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Bangladesh secured a nail-biting victory over Sri Lanka in th??e deciding third and final One Day International (ODI) of the 3-match series. W??ith the win, the hosts successfully captured the s??eries 2-1.

Janith Liyanage shines with magnificent ton

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Sri Lanka set a target of 236 runs for Bangladesh to chase. Sri Lanka’s innings was anchored by a superb century from Janith Liyanage, who scored 101 runs off 102 balls.

However, apart from Liyanage, the Sri Lankan batting lineup struggled to build significant partnerships. Charith Asalanka‘s contribution of 37 runs and Kusal Mendis‘s 29 runs were noteworthy, but they couldn’t capitalize on their starts. Sri Lanka was eventually could only manage to reach 235 runs in 50 overs.

Tanzid Hasan, Rishad Hossain take Bangladesh over the finish line

Chasing a target of 236 runs, Bangladesh got off to a shaky start, losing early wickets. However, Tanzid Hasan played? a brilliant innings, smashing 84 ru?ns off 81 balls and anchoring the chase. He smashed 9 fours and 4 sixes during his excellent knock.

Apart from Tanzid, Rishad Hossain provided the late fireworks, scoring a quickfire 48 runs off just 18 balls, which proved crucial in Bangladesh’s chase. Despite losing six wickets, Bangladesh successfully chased down the target in 40.2 overs, securing a thrilling victory.

Key performances

For Sri Lanka, Liyanage’s century was the standout performance, providing stability to the innings. Lahiru Kumara was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, claiming four wickets for 48 runs in his eight overs. In Bangladesh’s innings, Tanzid’s aggressive knock and Rishad’s explosive batting turned the game in their favor.
