Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, World Cup Highlights: BAN pull off dramatic win, SL knocked out
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, World Cup Highlights: Bangladesh chased down a target of 279 and stayed in the hunt for a place in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, World Cup Highlights: Sri Lanka have been knocked out of the World Cup after a three-wicket loss to Bangladesh in a heated clash that was marked with Angelo Mathews becoming the first player in the history of international cricket, men's or women's, to be dismissed after being timed-out. Mathews took his time getting to the crease during the Sri Lankan innings and when he then asked for a new helmet before facing the first ball, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan appealed and the umpires held it up. Mathews was visibly angry as he walked off and that set the mood for a rather charged evening. Charith Asalanka scored a masterful 108 off 105 to lead Sri Lanka to a score of 279. There was plenty of needle between both sides throughout the Bangladesh innings, particularly towards Shakib when he walked out to bat. But the Bangladesh captain weathered the storm and powered Bangladesh's chase by scoring 82 off 65. He put up a 169-run stand with Najmul Hossain Shanto that came in just 149 balls. It ended when Mathews himself got Shakib out quite dramatically and he then went on to get Shanto as well on 90 off 101 balls. It was then a back and forth game with the Sri Lankans taking wickets almost every time Bangladesh hit a boundary. But it was too much to do for the bowlers and Bangladesh recorded just their second win of the tournament and their first ever against Sri Lanka in the World Cup.
