When you score only 164 runs in a one-day international match, it is very hard for the bowlers to defend this small score in 50 overs. The same happened with Bangladesh bowlers today. They managed to take two quick wickets at the start of the Srilankan innings but as the target was very low, the SriLankan team never came into any sort of pressure.
It is a difficult task to defend a target like 164 runs even when you have the best bowling lineup but what was surprising was that the the bookies were still giving Sri Lanka decent odds, which confused me while placing a bet when they lost two wickets in quick succession, sometimes you get lucky getting good odds and Sri Lanka are cruising towards victory as they need just 44 runs from 22 overs.
