Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan nicked one to the wicketkeeper while trying to execute a cut shot against a delivery that was short and wide off the bowling of Matheesha Pathirana in the 16th over leaving the Tigers in a spot of bother at three down for 73 in pursuit of Sri Lanka's 257 at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Saturday.

Did you know that the first-ever meet-up between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was in the Asia Cup?

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha lamented the decision to allocate a reserved day for the India-Pakistan match only, the 54-year-old expressed while speaking at the pre-match press conference of the Asia Cup Super Four encounter between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on Saturday in Colombo.

Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is slated to return to the country after the match against Sri Lanka, team management sources have confirmed to The Daily Star.

Asia Cup organisers on Friday added a reserve day for the clash between India and Pakistan after their first encounter at the 50-over tournament was washed out.

When it works, it works like a charm. Otherwise, it appears to be a poorly put together batting plan. At the heart of it, however, is the failure to bat according to the match scenario which unfolded yet again for Bangladesh in their Asia Cup's Super Four fixture against Pakistan at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium yesterday.

The Tigers beat Pakistan to qualify for the final and lost to eventual champions India. But Pakistan’s eleven has come a long way from what it was in 2018 and is mighty strong, especially when it comes to their fast bowling.  

A hamstring injury suffered against Afghanistan on Sunday forced Shanto’s exit from the continental tournament.
