Bangladeshi batsmen could not bat well. Like in the previous matches, the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen was weak today too. But due to Tanvir Islam's excellent bowling performance, Bangladesh will probably win the match today.
Sri Lanka's total is 174 runs after 40 overs. The team has lost 8 wickets. Tanvir Islam took 5 wickets out of them. Tanvir took 3 important wickets of Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis and Maduska. Miraz took one wicket. I expected better bowling from Miraz in today's match. On the other hand, I don't know why pace bowlers like Mustafizur Rahman and Tanzim Sakib have been kept in the squad on this type of pitch. Bangladesh management has kept two pace bowlers in the squad on a completely spin friendly pitch.
Bangladesh lucky to win the match despite giving a small target of 249 runs. We saw good bowling from Asitha Fernando who picked 4 wickets and gave 35 runs in 9 overs. SL should have chased 249 runs but they were all out in 48.5 overs. Kusal Mendis play aggressively for his 56 runs and Janith Liyanage played an innings of 78 runs. Credit for Bangladesh win goes to Tanvir Islam who picked 5 wickets in his 10 overs and is given man of the match award. Tanvir Islam is playing his second ODI and he can be a valuable asset if he continue to perform like that in upcoming games.
