Really Shakib Al Hassan impressed every cricket lover. This is why he is the most popular player from the Bangladesh squad. A senior player, a captain, a leader, leading from the front. It was almost over for the Bangladesh team when they lost their two major wickets in 41 runs, but then comes the mighty Shakib, who just took the game away from the Srilankans. This proved Shakib deserves all the appreciation that he used to get before. Really have a doubt on the Angelo Matthews wicket, but at the end of the day we witnessed good cricket.
Although Bangladesh are 7th in the points table, it is not yet confirmed whether they will qualify for the 2025 Champions trophy. England at 10th position are having two remaining matches - against Netherlands and Pakistan. If they win both these matches, then they can overtake both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Also, for both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, next matches are against tough opposition (Australia and New Zealand respectively). Netherlands may not qualify for the Champions trophy, and I am interested to know who will be the other unfortunate team to get that distinction.
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Bangladesh first won the toss and sent Sri Lanka into bat. In the beginning, the Bangladesh team kept the Sri Lankan batsmen under good pressure. The Sri Lankan batsmen did not build a good partnership in the beginning. Asalanka batted brilliantly and Sri Lanka managed to collect 279 runs based on his batting. Bangladesh will have to bat at a target of 280 runs, the batsmen of Bangladesh should play with patience. 280 runs will not be very easy for Bangladesh to win this match. Because the batting of the Bangladesh team is not that good. Even then, the cricket fans will definitely have a demand for the batsmen of Bangladesh.I know the match today, they can win this match by batting well. Bangladesh will be able to play the championship or not depending on today's match.
Probably Bangladesh will win against Sri Lanka today. Bangladesh won the first match of the World Cup tournament and there were several matches in between but Bangladesh lost all the matches. Due to the fact that Bangladesh has lost several matches in a row, I thought before the start of today's match that maybe Bangladesh will be defeated in today's match too, but seeing the current performance of Bangladesh's bowling and batsmen today, it seems that Bangladesh will turn around in today's match. Bangladesh need only 141 more runs to win this match but they still have eight wickets in hand that's why I think Bangladesh will win this match today.Overall performance of Bangladesh was very good today. Due to the good performance of the bowlers, Bangladesh managed to restrict the Sri Lankan team to just 279 runs on this pitch. Sri Lanka scored 326 runs against South Africa on this pitch. So it must be admitted that the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers was very good in this match. Along with the bowlers, the batsmen have also been able to perform their duties properly. After Sakib and Shanto's big innings, it became easy for the Bangladeshi batsmen to reach the target. The Bangladesh team reached the goal of victory quite easily today. And after the win in today's match, Bangladesh are now seventh in the points table.

Bangladesh finally won. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field. Sri Lanka managed to score 279 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh's opening two batsmen went to the pavilion within 41 runs after coming down to bat with the target of 280 runs. The third wicket partnership between Shakib and Shanto led the team. Bangladesh managed to score 169 runs in the third wicket pair. Shakib scored 82 runs off 65 balls and took 2 wickets in his bowling spell and was adjudged Man of the Match. After six matches, Bangladesh won by three wickets and kept their dream of playing the Champions Trophy alive. This is the highest run scored by them at the Delhi Cricket Ground. However, the dismissal of Angelo Mathews in this match gave rise to various controversies and the proof was seen at the end of the game. Neither team exchanged handshakes at the end of the game. Angela Mathews' dismissal is as rare in the history of cricket as the courtesies between the two teams at the end of the game are also rare.

Bro Bangladesh team's main problem is that they cannot bat patiently due to which all their batsmen fail to score runs.If you watch the game of Bangladesh today and watch the game of all previous matches, you will definitely understand some difference.Compared to today's Bangladesh opening batsmen, the top order batsmen have played well, especially Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan.It goes without saying that Bangladesh will win today but Shakib Al Hasan will be the man of the match in today's match as he took two wickets with bowling and scored 80 plus runs with batting.If Bangladesh could not win today's match, Bangladesh would not be able to play in the next Champions Trophy.Everyone believes that Bangladesh was stronger in the ODI format compared to other formats, but Bangladesh could not show their strength in this World Cup.The brilliant pairing of Shanto and Shakib helped Bangladesh win. Like the previous matches, Bangladesh's two openers failed today. Apart from Tamim, Bangladesh added youngster Tanzid Tamim to their squad. But Bangladesh's opener failed completely in the World Cup. Bangladesh has broken the opening pair very quickly in every match. But Shanto and Shakib's innings was very important. After Shanto scored 90 runs and Sakib got out with 82 runs, the match was completely under the control of Bangladesh. Even then, the performance of Bangladesh's middle order batsmen was poor. Mushfiqur and Miraj should have batted more responsibly. However, after a win in this match, Bangladesh still have a chance of being in the top 8 of the points table. Waiting to see if the team can play well against Australia.

Even if Bangladesh loses this match from this point, I won't be surprised at all. They have records of getting collapsed scoring less than 50 runs. There were several matches where Bangladesh was in a good position but the situation turned into 360 degrees and they lost many close games. Bangladesh have seven wickets in hand and eighteen overs while they need only seventy runs with a 3.93 required run rate. I expect Bangladesh to win this match at least. Also, they should win the next match if they can. Otherwise, they will miss the Champions Trophy!

This match is not important. Still, both teams will want to win. Bangladesh has won just one match in the World Cup. After winning the first match, the team lost consecutively. Bangladesh will want to be above England in the points table by winning this match.
Despite losing 3 wickets, Sadeera Rashen Samarawickrama and Assalanka are batting very responsibly. Assalanka remained unbeaten on 20 off 22 balls and Samarawickrama on 21 off 21 balls. Sri Lanka collected 108 runs in 19 overs. This is quite a good collection. Sri Lanka will collect more than 300 today if no wickets are lost.
I am also looking forward to watch the Afghanistan vs Australia match. This match is very important for both the teams. However, the Australian team is in a very good rhythm by winning the last 5 matches. At the moment, the chances of Australia losing against a team like Afghanistan are slim.

The top seven teams of the ICC ODI World cup will play ICC Champions trophy along with Pakistan next year. If Bangladesh win today's game and finishes at 7th or 8th slot then they will play ICC Champions trophy next year. SL must also win today's game if they want to secure there slot in next year champions trophy. That the only worth of today's game. SL so far are doing good as they looking to score somewhere around 270-280.

Nice rivalry between Bangbros and the Lankans, It started with the Nagin dance and Mattew's timed out dismissal will add a new chapter to the juicy rivalry. 
Also, this match should've been canceled. At this point of time, North India barring Dharamshala doesn't deserve any single international match and surely not the Delhi aka gas chamber.

It is that time of the year when crop burning starts. Nothing can be done unless the farmers and the local government comes out with a solution. The CM of Delhi has made several false promises under his rule and the people votes him for freebies. It is not just Delhi, the complete North India has become a gas chamber. Bangladesh and Srilanka both avoided practice session before the match because of the pollution.
I don't think BCCI would be able to do anything now. They have already created a schedule and they would be following it. Even if the matches are held in region where the pollution is out of control.
The less we talk about the standards of politicians the better.
Samarawickrama gave away his wicket and Shakib breaks this partnership. Bangladesh picking up wickets at a regular interval. This time they are bowling very good and Angelo Mathews comes out with a wrong helmet. Are the Srilankan team even serious about this match. It doesn't look good a professional player behaving like an amateur. Mathews given out without even facing a single ball as he timed out. This might be the first time I have seen such an out.
Yes, Angelo Mathews became the first batsman to be timed out in cricket history.Basically this incident happened in the 25th over.An experienced batsman like Angelo Mathews comes into the field with a wrong helmet and then he comes with another helmet and he has to change it too.Changing the helmet took three minutes of his arrival at the crease for which the umpire gave him a time-out when the captain applied.Look at the picture:

SL makes 279, credit to Asalanka's century that SL was able to reach this target, when 5 wicket fell at 135, I doubted they will reach much, also they couldn't gather any in last two overs after Asalanka gone.
