Shakib Shines as Bangladesh Defeat Sri Lanka

In a thrilling World Cup match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Shakib Al Hasan's all-round brilliance propelled Bangladesh to a three-wicket triumph over Sri Lanka. Shakib made significant contributions both with the ball and the bat, returning figures of 2 for 57 and scoring 82 runs off 65 balls in a successful 280-run chase, securing Bangladesh's first-ever ODI World Cup victory against Sri Lanka. This victory also meant that Kusal Mendis's team was eliminated from the tournament.

Remarkable all round performance by Bangladesh leading to victory 

A Remarkable Match in Challenging Conditions

The match took place amid severe air pollution in Delhi, making it an eventful contest. Charith Asalanka notched his second ODI century, and Angelo Mathews became the first player to be 'timed out' in international cricket. With the challenge of chasing a par score under lights and dealing with dew, Tanzid Hasan made a positive start with back-to-back boundaries, but Dilshan Madushanka struck back to dismiss both openers. Hasan miscued a drive to cover, while Litton Das, who was dropped on 6 by Kusal Perera, was trapped on the boot.

Shakib and Shanto's Crucial Partnership

Najmul Hossain Shanto (90) and Shakib then formed a steady partnership of 169 runs for the third wicket, marking the first century stand for Bangladesh in the World Cup, which laid the foundation for their successful run-chase. Shakib received a reprieve when he was dropped by Asalanka when he was just on 8, a costly error for Sri Lanka. Shakib used that opportunity to hit a six and a four off Dushmantha Chameera, reaching his fifty in just 47 balls, his first in the tournament.

Steady Progress to Victory

Shanto played a steadier innings, reaching his fifty off 58 balls, and the pair managed to find the boundary almost every over to maintain a manageable run-rate. Mathews eventually dismissed Shakib, and Madushanka struck to remove Mushfiqur Rahim. However, Mahmudullah's 22 off 23 and Towhid Hridoy's unbeaten 15 off 7 helped Bangladesh secure the win.

Strong Bowling Performance by Bangladesh

Bangladesh chose to bowl first, and they got off to a good start when wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim took a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Kusal Perera in the opening over. While Shoriful Islam had a tough second over, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis put on a 61-run partnership. However, both batsmen fell in quick succession, and Bangladesh regained control.

Sri Lanka's Period of Recovery

Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka then formed a 63-run partnership for the fourth wicket, with Samarawickrama scoring at a run-a-ball pace before falling victim to Shakib's delivery. However, the turning point came when Mathews's helmet strap broke, leading to his "timed out" dismissal after failing to consult with the opposition captain, Shakib Al Hasan.

Asalanka's Century and the Ninth Hundred at the Venue

Despite the disruption, Asalanka reached his fifty off 56 balls and continued to score important runs for Sri Lanka. His 78-run partnership with Dhananjaya de Silva helped Sri Lanka regain their footing, with Asalanka eventually scoring a century off 101 balls in the 48th over, becoming the ninth player to do so at the venue, a record in this World Cup.

In conclusion, Shakib Al Hasan's outstanding all-round performance and a resilient partnership between Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib were the key factors in Bangladesh's historic victory over Sri Lanka, marking a significant moment in the ODI World Cup.
