Big scores from two players played a key role in winning the match for Sri Lanka. After the fall of 3 wickets Pathum Nissanka gave a big innings scoring 114 off 113 balls and the other batsman was Charith Asalanka who returned with 91 runs. These two almost took the team to the brink of victory and returned. If Bangladesh team could have removed these two batsmen earlier, Bangladesh might have had a chance. But they took a long time to do that. Because we saw that Sri Lanka lost 7 wickets like Bangladesh. Both are now level in the series so we will be able to witness a more competitive game in the final match between the two teams.
People have to understand that Bangladesh actually never lost on that ground when they had given a target of anything above 280.
So the Sri Lankan players did really well to actually chase down the target successfully.
But at the same time, you know, Nissanka and Asalanka who delivered a huge total for Sri Lanka should left the pitch very early, Bangladesh missed 2 catches. One catch was missed by Miraz, and the other was missed by Litton in the sleep position.
So I actually think Bangladesh has only themselves to blame for the loss. And I agree with you if they did not miss those two catches and were able to drop those two Sri Lankan superheroes early then the result would be otherwise.
I also seriously think that Bangladesh should do something about Litton Das not being able to play well at all and having consecutive DUCKS.
I think he needs to be rested and maybe it is time to give Anamul a chance.
Or maybe even play Miraz as an opener?
