In the second ODI match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Bangladesh team batted in the first innings, and they scored 286 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Although in today's match, Bangladesh team batsmen played well in the first innings, and they collected a good number of runs due to which they set a target of 287 runs to Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lankan team came to bat in the second innings and may easily meet the target set by Bangladesh. And today the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team is so great that they have lost only three wickets so far and are batting brilliantly to win. The partnership between Sri Lankan batsmen Charith Asalanka and Pathum Nissanka has been fascinating and both have batted well. Pathum Nissanka has scored 108 runs as of now, and he is still unbeaten, Charith Asalanka is already batting brilliantly to score a century scoring 81 runs he will soon succeed in scoring a century. And today's match will definitely be won by Sri Lankan team and Bangladesh won the first match so if today's match is won then the game will be 1/1 between the two teams.
Batting against the target of 286 runs given by Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning. But from there Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka led the team to victory. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka played responsible batting. Pathum Nissanka scored 114 runs off 113 balls and Charith Asalanka scored 91 runs off 93 balls. Current score of Sri Lanka team is 238 runs for 5 wickets in 40 overs. Looking at the playing situation of the Sri Lankan team, it seems that they will easily win against Bangladesh in today's match.
After Sri Lanka lost three batsmen for 43 runs I thought Bangladesh team will win today's match too. But with Pathum Nissanka and Asalanka's excellent batting, the match is now completely under Sri Lanka's control.
At the end of 41 overs, Sri Lanka collected 251 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka needs to collect only 36 runs from 54 balls to win. It is not a very difficult task. If the batsmen can stay at the crease, Sri Lanka will easily win today's match. Pathum Nissanka returned to the dressing room with 114 runs and Asalanka had 91 runs. Besides, no other Sri Lankan batsman can bat so well. These two batsmen changed the entire scenario of the match today.
We haven't seen better bowling from Taijul today. Taijul gave 32 runs in 4 overs, but could not take a single wicket. If Taijul could bowl well, maybe Bangladesh would have been able to win today's match. Taskin and Shariful are bowling very well today.
