Asia Cup 2025 Super Four, Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh match today: Head-to-head, ground stats, pitch conditions and more

Former champions Sri Lanka launched their 2025 Asia Cup campaign in emphatic fashion on Saturday (Sep 13), cruising to a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi. Chasing 140, the islanders got home with 32 balls to spare. A blazing 95-run stand off just 52 deliveries for the second wicket between Pathum Nissanka (50) and Kamil Mishara provided the backbone of the innings.&nbsp;Mishara arrived at the crease after Kusal Mendis fell in the second over. He took time to settle but soon cut loose, cracking Shoriful Islam for three consecutive boundaries. Nissanka compiled his 16th half-century before holing out in the deep. By then Sri Lanka had the game firmly in their grip.

2025 Asia Cup, Updated Points Table: Sri Lanka begin campaign with emphatic win over Bangladesh

Match 38 of the ODI World Cup was held between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, where Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangla Tigers won by three wickets in pursuit of 280 (with 53 balls to spare). While&nbsp;Tanzim Hasan Sakib's three-fer, Najmul Hossain Shanto's 90 and captain Shakib's 82 helped Bangladesh win a dramatic contest, in New Delhi, the game will be remembered for Angelo Mathews being the first batter to be timed out in international cricket.&nbsp;

Mathews was declared timed out after the former Sri Lankan captain did not face a single delivery during the two-minute window, as stipulated in tournament laws, due to helmet issues. This led to Shakib appealing and the umpires ruling&nbsp;Mathews out. It resulted in a huge controversy and the Lankan all-rounder&nbsp;didn't mince his words in the post-match presser, where he explained his side and termed 'Shakib and Bangladesh' disgraceful for 'stooping so low'.

Mathews said, "It was obviously disgraceful from Shakib and Bangladesh. If they want to take wickets like that and stoop down to that level, there's something wrong, drastically."

"It's very disappointing way that Bangladesh played. If it was mankading or obstructing the field, there's no issue. Within two minutes I was at the crease, and it was when I was at the crease that my helmet broke. The umpires saw this. I still had five seconds left. After I showed my helmet, the umpires said [Bangladesh] had appealed. So I asked where common sense was because my two minutes hadn't passed," he further opined.

Mathews added, "I've got no words to explain it. In my 15 years of playing I've never seen a team or a player stoop so low. Unfortunately [the strap breaking] happened against Bangladesh. I don't think any other team would do that, because it was black and white. It was equipment malfunction. It was a safety issue as well. We know that without a helmet I can't face the bowling."

Meanwhile, Bangladesh captain Shakib said at the post-match ceremony, "One of our fielders came to me and said if you appeal now, he'll be out. Then I appealed and the umpire asked me if I am serious and if I am&nbsp;going to take it back or not. I said no, it's in the rules. It's in the laws."

The final result led to Sri Lanka's elimination from the ten-team tournament. Bangladesh, who are already eliminated, broke their six-match losing streak and are in contention to book a place in the 2025&nbsp;Champions Trophy.

Disgraceful of Shakib and Bangladesh to stoop that low, says a fuming Angelo Mathews after being TIMED OUT

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,&nbsp;at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital.&nbsp;

Chasing 280, Bangladesh were 41&nbsp;for 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.&nbsp;Towhid Hridoy and Tanzim Hasan Sakib's eighth-wicket stand&nbsp;saw their side past the finish line. However, there were no handshakes between both the camps.&nbsp;

CWC 2023: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh players REFUSE to shake hands after Mathews 'timed out' controversy

Angelo Mathews became the first batter to be timed out in international cricket during match 38 of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, in New Delhi, on Monday (Nov 6). Coming out to bat at No. 6, with the Lankans reduced to 135&nbsp;for 4, the former skipper was declared timed out after he&nbsp;fell behind the two-minute rule to take the crease.&nbsp;

After the Bangladeshi camp appealed, umpires took a lot of time before ruling Mathews out with the fourth-umpire interruption. His dismissal led to a lot of chaos and drama in the middle, which continued till the last minute of the game -- eventually won by Bangladesh by three wickets chasing 280.

Soon after the match, Mathews replied to a post of the International Cricket Council (ICC), on X (formerly Twitter).&nbsp;

Mathews wrote, "4th umpire is wrong here! Video evidence shows I still had 5 more seconds even after the helmet gave away! Can the 4th umpire rectify this please? I mean safety is paramount as I just couldn’t face the bowler without a helmet."

Even before marching back to the pavilion, Mathews had a word with Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan and the two on-field umpires to point out that he&nbsp;was facing an issue with his helmet’s strap, which led to a delay in taking strike. Nonetheless, he was asked to leave the field as he became the first-ever to be deemed timed out.

It will be interesting to see how the ICC responds to the entire timed-out saga.&nbsp;

Angelo Mathews became the first batter to be timed out in international cricket during match 38 of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, in New Delhi, on Monday (Nov 6).

Angelo Mathews became the first batter to be timed out in international cricket during match 38 of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, in New Delhi, on Monday (Nov 6). Coming out to bat at No. 6, with the Lankans reduced to 135 for 4, the former skipper was declared timed out after he fell behind the two-minute rule to take the crease. After the Bangladeshi camp appealed, umpires took a lot of time before ruling Mathews out with the fourth-umpire interruption. His dismissal led to a lot of chaos and drama in the middle, which continued till the last minute of the game -- eventually won by Bangladesh by three wickets chasing 280. Soon after the match, Mathews replied to a post of the International Cricket Council (ICC), on X (formerly Twitter). Mathews wrote, "4th umpire is wrong here! Video evidence shows I still had 5 more seconds even after the helmet gave away! Can the 4th umpire rectify this please? I mean safety is paramount as I just couldn’t face the bowler without a helmet." 4th umpire is wrong here! Video evidence shows I still had 5 more seconds even after the helmet gave away!

CWC '23: 'Fourth umpire is wrong': Angelo Mathews offers 'video evidence' to slam time-out dismissal

In a game mired by the 'timed out' controversy, it was Bangladesh that emerged victorious by three wickets against Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday (Nov 6) evening. Riding on brilliant innings from Najmul Shanto (90) and Shakib Al Hasan (82), Bangladesh raked up their second win of the World Cup campaign to stake a claim for the Champions Trophy 2025 spot.&nbsp;

Chasing a challenging total of 280 could have been a tricky task for the Bangladesh batters, especially after Madhushanka&nbsp;sent opener Tanzid Hasan&nbsp;back to the pavilion in the first over. However, dew came to Bangaldesh's rescue and batting became much easier under the floodlights.&nbsp;

Among many narratives on play in the match, none was more intriguing than Shakib Al Hasan squaring up against Angelo Mathews. Earlier in the day, the Bangladesh skipper appealed for a 'timed out' dismissal which saw Mathews being adjudged out by the umpires after failing to face a ball within two minutes of the previous batter's dismissal.&nbsp;

As such, fans were waiting for Mathews to bowl his gentle dibbly dobblers against Shakib. The Sri Lankan veteran nearly struck in the first over as the left-hand batter lofted a powerful drive to Charith Asalanka at short cover. However, the centurion of the first innings, spilled a relatively tough chance to give a reprieve to Shakib.&nbsp;

From thereon, both Shakib and Shanto did not let go of the initiative and strung a beautiful 169-run partnership to nearly bat Sri Lanka out of the contest.

Just when it looked like the game was done and dusted, Mathews revved up his engine and accounted for Shakib's dismissal with the on-air commentators describing it as 'poetic justice'. Mathews even gave a 'time is up' send off to Shakib by pointing to his watch and waiting for him to walk away.&nbsp;

Mathews did not stop here as he struck again in the next over to clean up Shanto and get the nerves jangling in the Bangladesh camp. Some poor shots from Mushifiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz meant the game got much closer than the subcontinent side had earlier anticipated. However,&nbsp;Tanzim Sakib held his own and smashed the winning boundary to give two crucial points to the Bangladesh side.&nbsp;

<h2>Sri Lanka's shaky performance with the bat</h2>

Batting first, Sri Lanka remained hesitant to press the trigger from the start and meandered at a slow pace. Things went south after Mathews was sent back to the hut with the scoreboard reading 135/5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

With backs against the wall, Asalanka (108) batted superbly for his second ODI hundred and pulled his team out of the hole they were in. At one point it looked like Sri Lanka would cross the 300-run mark but another collapse at the death meant that islanders failed to play their full quota of 50 overs.&nbsp;

Taskin was good with the new ball despite not getting any wickets. Shakib and Mehidy were tidy through the middle, although Tanzim was quite expensive.&nbsp;

World Cup 2023: Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 3 wickets in a game mired by timed out controversy

The Asia Cup 2023 edition is underway. The multi-nation competition&nbsp;finally started on August 30 in Multan, Pakistan with Babar Azam-led Men in Green thrashing Nepal by 238 runs. In the second game, in Sri Lanka, the home side beat Bangladesh by five wickets on Thursday (August 31). In the two games, as well as during India's team photo shoot, many observed that Pakistan's name was missing&nbsp;from the team jerseys.

It is to be noted that&nbsp;Pakistan remain the original hosts despite nine out of 13 games being held in Sri Lanka. The 2023 edition is being held in a hybrid model -- for the first time in Asia Cup's history -- after India made it clear that they won't travel to Pakistan due to strained relations. Last year's edition was held in the UAE but Sri Lanka remained the original hosts and their name was mentioned in team jerseys (below the Asia Cup's logo). However, eyebrows have been raised with the same trend not being followed this year.

<h2>Former Pak cricketers slam ACC, PCB</h2>

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif said, as quoted by Hindustan Times, "This is unacceptable and it is the Asian Cricket Council which must explain this oversight since the Asia Cup is their property."

On the other hand, PCB tried to play down the situation by explaining that the Jay Shah-led ACC&nbsp;decided after the 2022 edition&nbsp;to strike off the host country's name from below&nbsp;the Asia Cup logo&nbsp;in future events. However, not many have accepted their statement.&nbsp;

Moreover, Mohsin Khan -- Pakistan's former batter -- also slammed ACC and stated, "Makes no sense at all. Then why has the ACC given the host country’s name on the logos for their Asian Emerging Nations Cup or their Asian under-16 event held in July in Malaysia."

The third game of the Asia Cup will take place on Saturday (September 02) in Kandy with India facing arch-rivals Pakistan. Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. will open their campaign and hope for a win over the No. 1 ranked ODI side.

Asia Cup: ACC, PCB blasted by ex-cricketers and fans after Pakistan's name goes missing from team jerseys

Twin fifties from Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka and a career-best four for 32 from young prodigy Matheesha Pathirana ensured a five-wicket win for Sri Lanka over Bangladesh in the second match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 in Pallekele on Thursday.

The second game of the Asia Cup 2023 got underway in Kandy between hosts Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, with the Tigers electing to bat first after winning the toss. In the absence of several top batters, including veteran Tamim Iqbal and keeper-batter Litton Das, Bangladesh had newcomers in Mohammad Naim and Tanzid Hasan opening the innings.&nbsp;

Sri Lanka made light work of the top order, reducing them to 36 for three at one stage, with Shakib back in the hut. Najmul Hossain Shanto was the star batter for Bangladesh, playing an anchor role throughout. While wickets kept tumbling at the other end, left-handed Shanto stood his ground and completed his fifty.&nbsp;

The fast-bowling prodigy Matheesha Pathirana - on his Asia Cup debut, returned with four wickets for 32 runs, while Maheesh Theekshana picked two. Shanto was Bangladesh’s top-scorer, hitting 89 off 122 balls.

Following a poor batting show, Bangladesh got all out on 164 inside 43 overs.

Sri Lanka lost two wickets early on, with seamers Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam picking one each. Shakib also picked one inside the powerplay as they&nbsp;got reduced to 43 for three.&nbsp;

Then, a composed 78-run stand between Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka had Sri Lanka stay afloat in the game.&nbsp;

Bangladeshi spinners kept them in check with their tight line&nbsp;and length.&nbsp;

Mahedi Hasan removed Samarawickrama on a well-made 54 before Shakib returned to pick his second wicket in Dhananjaya de Silva on just two.

Though, at that moment, it looked like Bangladesh could crawl their way back into the game, Asalanka’s stay at the crease ensured a Sri Lanka win.

Asalanka also completed his fifty, and with handy contributions from Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka completed the chase with five wickets in hand, winning their first game of this year’s Asia Cup.

While no match will be played on Friday, September 1, India and Pakistan will face off in the marquee clash on Saturday, September 2, in Kandy.

Asia Cup 2023: Twin fifties from Asalanka, Samarawickrama help Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by five wickets

Sri Lanka stunned Bangladesh by two wickets to knock them out of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Thursday (September 01). It was a thrilling run-chase as Sri Lanka nailed down the target of 184 runs with four balls to spare at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai to secure a spot in the Super Four.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne mocked the Bangladesh team by pulling off some bizarre dance moves while celebrating his team's victory. Karunaratne did the famous 'snake dance' also known as 'Naagin dance', which Bangladesh players have previously performed on several occasions.

It was an enthralling battle between the two teams as they locked horns in the virtual knockout clash. Batting first, Bangladesh rode on Mosaddek Hossain's brilliant finishing cameo of 24 off 9 balls and crucial knocks from the likes of Mehidy Hasan (38) and Afif Hossain (39) to post a strong total of 183 runs on the board.

In reply, Sri Lanka got off to a solid start with openers Pathum Nissanka (20) ad Kusal Mendis (60) adding 45 runs for the first wicket. Mendis batted brilliantly as he held the crease strong on one end as the Lankans kept losing wickets at regular intervals on the other end.

Having conceded a 68-run first-innings lead, Sri Lanka began the final day on 39-2 and looked in a spot at 161-6 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

Dickwella and Chandimal forged a 99-run partnership for the unbroken seventh wicket to snuff out Bangladesh`s hopes of a victory. Dickwella made 61 not out while Chandimal was unbeaten on 39 as Sri Lanka reached 260-6 when a draw was agreed on.

Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne made 52, while Kusal Mendis (48) and Dhananjaya de Silva (33) also contributed with the bat for the tourists. "If you take first innings, we could have done much better," Karunaratne said at the presentation ceremony. As a side we should have put up a big score, unfortunately, we couldn`t do that."

Sri Lanka`s Angelo Mathews was adjudged man-of-the-match for his 199 in the first innings. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed 4-82 but Bangladesh were denied the service of pace bowler Shoriful Islam who has been ruled out of the series with a hand injury sustained while batting.

"We missed Shoriful for sure, but we managed to cover for him," Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque said. "Taijul knows his role...and he was excellent. We have to keep improving, we have to keep getting better." 
Mushfiqur Rahim became the first batsman from Bangladesh to score 5000 test runs during his knock of 105. The second and final test begins in Mirpur on Monday.

Jofra Archer ruled out of 2022 English summer after suffering back stress fracture Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne made 52, while Kusal Mendis (48) and Dhananjaya de Silva (33) also contributed with the bat for the tourists. "If you take first innings, we could have done much better," Karunaratne said at the presentation ceremony. As a side we should have put up a big score, unfortunately, we couldn`t do that." Sri Lanka`s Angelo Mathews was adjudged man-of-the-match for his 199 in the first innings. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed 4-82 but Bangladesh were denied the service of pace bowler Shoriful Islam who has been ruled out of the series with a hand injury sustained while batting. "We missed Shoriful for sure, but we managed to cover for him," Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque said. "Taijul knows his role...and he was excellent. We have to keep improving, we have to keep getting better." Mushfiqur Rahim became the first batsman from Bangladesh to score 5000 test runs during his knock of 105. The second and final test begins in Mirpur on Monday.

Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by seven wickets to seal ODI series

As with the previous fixture at the County Ground a few days ago, inclement weather threatens to dominate Tuesday’s match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

The Sri Lankan team have been camped in Bristol since June 5, and have not had to take the field. On June 7, their match with Pakistan here was washed out without a ball bowled, which gave them one point. Coming after a loss to New Zealand and a narrow win over Afghanistan, Sri Lanka will be desperate to get any sort of match on Tuesday.

With the weather forecast looking bad for game day, even a T20 will do for both teams.

Over the last two years, in ODIs, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are level at 2-2. Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh’s skipper, did not choose to dwell on that a day before this match. For him, the talk about Bangladesh having beaten Bangladesh in the 2011 and 2015 World Cups amounted to zilch, because when the teams met last week his was on the wrong end of a heavy loss.

With two defeats in a row, Bangladesh are struggling to play catchup when it comes to the semi-finals. Mortaza spoke of how tough it is for the team to make it, because he expected to beat New Zealand. The situation is uphill for his team, and with the weather not looking promising the frustration could pile up on Bangladesh.

Match details

What: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh

When: Tuesday, June 11

Where: County Ground, Bristol

Weather: Rain is predicted all through a cold day, with a high of 14 degrees Celsius.

Team news

Sri Lanka

Jon Lewis, Sri Lanka’s batting coach, confirmed that fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep is out of this match after he dislocates a finger last week. This makes it likely that his place will go to Jeevan Mendis, the spin-bowling allrounder, considering there are no other pace options.

Lewis also clarified that Lahiru Thirimanne is fit for selection.

Sri Lanka likely XI: 1 Dimuth Karunaratne (capt), 2 Kusal Perera (wk), 3 Lahiru Thirimanne, 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Dhananjaya de Silva, 7 Thisara Perera, 8 Jeevan Mendis, 9 Isuru Udana, 10 Suranga Lakmal, 11 Lasith Malinga

Bangladesh

After the loss to England, Bangladesh need to rebound.

Pitch and conditions

The strip for this game is same as the one which was due to be played on in the last match. It remained covered on Monday on account of the rain around, so its anyone’s guess as to what lies beneath. Both teams trained under grey skies, before rain shortly before 3pm local time interrupted Sri Lanka’s training session and sent the players and coaches indoors.

Stats

Head to head in ODIs, Sri Lanka have won 36 of 45 ODIs against Bangladesh while losing seven. Two have been no results.

In two completed ODIs in Bristol, Sri Lanka have lost two.

Bangladesh won their only ODI here, against England in 2010.

Shakib Al Hasan needs 23 runs to become the second Bangladesh cricket, after Tamim Iqbal, to 6000 ODI runs.

Quotes

“I hope we will play a full match tomorrow. I think the team is fine. Yes, disappointing after two losses, but especially against New Zealand, but no, this sort of tournament, we knew that before the ending, you’re never sure, so still a lot of hope there. Boys really hungry to win matches, so team is fine. But again, expecting a full match.” – Mortaza

“It will be tough. Bangladesh have had a couple of decent results against Sri Lanka, but you know, this is a World Cup. The situation is very different. I think already, you’ve seen that maybe World Cup cricket isn’t the same as bilateral one-day tournaments. Yeah, no doubt at all that there’s a hell of a challenge ahead of us, but we also do have a lot of confidence in the players that we have in our dressing room and a lot of faith in them. So we are still confident.” – Lewis

Cricket World Cup 2019: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh hope for a game as Bristol rain threatens washout

Sri Lanka were forced to split points for the second successive time in the ongoing World Cup after their <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/live-updates-cricket-world-cup-2019-match-16-bangladesh-vs-sri-lanka-226226">match against Bangladesh was called off</a> without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain here Tuesday.

Both the teams came into the match with one win from three matches and now each will get a point for the washout.&nbsp;

On Tuesday, both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were left staring at the sky, waiting for some divine intervention after the start of their key match was delayed due to heavy rains.

The rain eased a couple of times but only to return and thus the inspection was postponed twice.

The groundsmen, meanwhile, tirelessly worked on draining out the water on the covers with the sucking brooms and mops.

The result will leave Sri Lanka frustrated as it is the second instance of a wash-out for the Island nation.

After two defeats, Bangladesh too were looking for a resurgence against Sri Lanka and now they will be wary of their semifinal chances.

Bangladesh were handed a two-wicket loss by New Zealand followed by a massive a 106-run defeat to hosts England after their 21-run win over South Africa in their World Cup opener.
