CWC 2023: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh players REFUSE to shake hands after Mathews 'timed out' controversy
CWC 2023: SL, Ban players REFUSE to shake hands after Mathews' TIMED OUT drama
Tempers were flying in the game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in match 38 of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition on Tuesday (Nov 6), in New Delhi. The Angelo Mathews timed-out controversy made headlines in the Lankan innings and later escalated further as players from both camps refused to shake hands and left the ground after the Bangla Tigers won by three wickets,at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital.
Chasing 280, Bangladesh were 41for 2 before a magnificent 169-run third-wicket stand between captain Shakib Al Hasan (82) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (90) propelled them to a win, despite losing wickets towards the end of the run-chase.Towhid Hridoy and Tanzim Hasan Sakib's eighth-wicket standsaw their side past the finish line. However, there were no handshakes between both the camps.
It all happened after Mathews became the first player to be timed outin international cricket. Coming out to bat at No. 6, Mathewscould not take the crease within therequired amount of time, prompting the Bangladesh players to appeal. Following this, there were a lot of discussions in the middle, with Mathews trying to indicate that he was facing an issue with his helmet’s strap. However,the on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Richard Illingwortheventually decided to dismiss the Sri Lankan.
Even during Bangladesh's 280-run chase, there was a lot of drama and heated arguments between both teams.The refusal to shake hands further prompts that this Asian rivalry has now escalated to another level.
