00:00First ODI, Sri Lanka versus Bangladesh from the R. Premadasa International Stadium.
00:16Well, the Sri Lankan captain, Charita Sri Lanka, won the toss and had absolutely no hesitation
00:22in batting first on a very good-looking surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
00:27And let's take a look at the two teams. This is Sri Lanka's first debut for Milan.
00:31Ratnayaka has played test cricket, but this is his first game, first ODI game,
00:36while Bangladesh also handed out quite a few debuts in that side.
00:42So Sri Lanka batting first, as I said, as we join the action with our first commentators.
00:49Confidence will be very, very high for this man.
00:54There he is, up against a couple of quality bowlers.
01:01210 against Afghanistan.
01:05Dishan Madushka holds his spot, but he's got a point to prove.
01:07He's got to start making those big runs.
01:11And seal this position. Great opportunity. Good batting conditions.
01:15A lot of experience here. There's a bit of quality.
01:20And he is a competitor, Tusken Ahmed.
01:26Yep, there we go.
01:30Tusken.
01:32Just a bit of movement away.
01:39Up and over.
01:41He's got enough. That's the first boundary.
01:43It's gone.
01:49Nishankar throws his hands at him.
01:52And ends up making it through to Littandas.
01:57Tanzim is getting the ball to zip through.
02:01And hence,
02:03he hurried with that stroke, Nishankar.
02:05For eight deliveries he faced.
02:09Never looked like getting runs.
02:10He's been dismissed.
02:12Five for one.
02:16Patum Nishankar, the man in form.
02:19Has been dismissed for north.
02:21That brings Kusal Mendes to the pitch.
02:23Oh, helps it on its way.
02:29At all the time in the world.
02:31Mendes, he's off the mark.
02:37Oh, they get their second.
02:39Once again, Madushka's feet go nowhere.
02:41Well, they've got to go somewhere now.
02:44They've got to take him towards the pavilion.
02:47This time around,
02:49there was slight inward movement.
02:53And that was more than enough for the baller
02:55to get the inside edge
02:58onto the stumps.
03:01And he's been rewarded for his smart work.
03:04It's Madushka removed,
03:06but just six.
03:07It's 11 for two.
03:09Sri Lanka.
03:09Coming to Mendes
03:13out there a lot earlier
03:16than he would have liked.
03:21Runs for Khamindu.
03:23I think that's off the pad.
03:26Yep, there you go.
03:28Signal from the umpire.
03:33Oh, lovely shot.
03:35Kusal Mendes just leans into it.
03:37Doesn't even bother running.
03:39Oh, another boundary.
03:44It's getting better and better
03:45from Kusal Mendes' bat.
03:50Oh, picks that up.
03:52Picks that up.
03:53It goes all the way.
03:55Kusal Mendes.
03:56What a wonderful shot.
03:59This one.
04:01Deliberately hit in the air.
04:06Up and over.
04:07No.
04:09He tries to go on the up.
04:11Khamindu Mendes has played a very poor shot
04:14as Bangladesh celebrates.
04:15From that and hitting the ball on the up is not the right idea.
04:23Not the right option.
04:26Goes without scoring.
04:28With three wickers down, 29 on the ball.
04:30He's been very, very good with the bat in the middle overs.
04:37That is a classical shot.
04:44That is truly class.
04:51Goes over the top.
04:53How hard and how high has it gone?
04:55I think it's gone the distance.
04:56Yes, six.
04:58That was a floater by Tuscan.
05:00Just bowling it in there, hoping that there will be any movement.
05:04This surface seems like it will be more seam movement than swing.
05:09Goes for the flop sweep.
05:10And he connects it.
05:13And it goes the distance.
05:15Previous over.
05:17More extra cover this occasion.
05:19A 87 meter monster over mid-bicket.
05:21Risky.
05:22But he'll certainly take it.
05:29That's a good shot.
05:30A drag down and Kusal Mendes.
05:32That is Bed and Bada.
05:33In front of square.
05:35To finish 11th over.
05:38In the air.
05:39That's a good shot.
05:41Safe shot.
05:42And a quality shot by Kusal Mendes.
05:44Over the middle.
05:49Nice.
05:50Straight as an arrow.
05:52What could be better?
05:53It's full face of the bat.
05:55Lovely follow through.
05:57Right down the line.
05:58And straight to the boundary.
06:02Oh, no.
06:03That could be close.
06:04And it is.
06:06He's got him.
06:07First wicket, I think, if he gets it.
06:09If they don't go for a review.
06:11Seem to be angling in.
06:13Seem to be hitting pretty much in front.
06:15He has asked.
06:19Original decision out.
06:21Pitching in line.
06:22Impact in line.
06:24Wickets.
06:25Umpires call.
06:25Police.
06:26Stay with your original decision.
06:28Stand by.
06:31You're on screen.
06:32Please signal.
06:34Go on for 45.
06:35It's 89 for four.
06:42Rifting down leg.
06:43Clipped away nicely.
06:44And no one's going to get to that.
06:48Four runs to finish the over.
06:55Nicely played.
06:56Played it late.
06:57Outfield will do the rest.
06:58The 100 on the board for Sri Lanka.
06:59Oh, what a hit.
07:05What a hit.
07:07Doesn't need to have a look.
07:10A floater up to the better.
07:13Mid-on, mid-off.
07:14Both in the circle.
07:18That's clever.
07:19No one there.
07:21Tuscan gives up the chase.
07:23He played that online.
07:24Leanne again.
07:28Up 50 days.
07:3016-50.
07:32In ODIs.
07:33For Charita Salon.
07:34That's the third against Bangladesh.
07:42Goes over the top again.
07:44He's been very good in that direction.
07:46This time.
07:48Does go all the way.
07:50But he gets a boundary.
07:52And goes short and wide.
07:58And Leanne again.
07:59Needed no second invitation.
08:05Down the track.
08:06And over the top.
08:07Will this be taken?
08:08Not over the top.
08:09In fact, straight to the fielder.
08:11You know, having seen auxiliary bowler into the attack.
08:15The batters are tempted to go after them.
08:18Well, he used the feet.
08:22Got too close to the ball.
08:24And that's why.
08:25There was not enough force.
08:27And also the elevation for the batsman.
08:30His contribution.
08:3229 from 40.
08:33It's 153 for 5.
08:35Oh, what about that?
08:40That has to be a no ball.
08:42And it is 6 as well.
08:44They would like Shantor to keep on balling like this.
08:52And Charita Salonka keep on hitting the ball out of the stadium.
08:56This time, Milan Ratnag is getting some kips.
09:02And he's picking that gap at mid-wicket.
09:04He gets a boundary.
09:06Now, this is a big moment in the game.
09:08I say big moment because this happens for the first time.
09:11Well, the umpire has asked for both balls.
09:13Now, he's giving Miraj the option of picking one.
09:16Go on, Amin.
09:17What do you think he's looking at?
09:18Oh, he's already made the decision.
09:20There he goes.
09:25He's going to just go looping over the infield and onto the boundary.
09:33Oh, ball in.
09:35That's the one.
09:35Keplow got the inside edge and crushed into the stump.
09:45Probably beat the pace and trying to angle the ball towards the third band for a single.
09:50That is excellent stuff by Tanzee Masan, Shaqib.
09:54Milan Ratnag on derview.
09:56Go on for 22.
09:57Chawanka, 192 for 6.
10:03Oh, Jokka tried.
10:05It's just 200, but enough.
10:08That struggling, Tanvir is never going to get to that.
10:15Tost up.
10:16He takes him on.
10:17That will be 4.
10:18Oh, Jaritha Salonka into the 90s.
10:25Hasaranga.
10:26He's got the cap.
10:27He's hit it hard.
10:33Hammered.
10:34Midone stays.
10:37Judges it nicely.
10:38Tuscan gets a wicket.
10:39The ball really didn't arrive.
10:42Just take a look into the pitch.
10:43One hand comes off.
10:46And a simple catch for the field and long on.
10:49This is a huge blow.
10:50Out for 22.
10:52226 for 7.
10:59Oh, he's chipped that.
11:00He's chipped that.
11:01So there's another wicket.
11:02Bangladesh is struggling without bowlers.
11:07And again, you could see that pace off into the pitch.
11:09And Maes Dikshana was in with the shot early.
11:14Leading edge.
11:15228 for 8.
11:18This is a brilliant return for Bangladesh under the circumstances.
11:21Maes Dikshana goes for one.
11:24Here's Tanzib.
11:26Oh, yes.
11:27He runs.
11:28He runs.
11:29He makes his ground.
11:31Charita Salonka.
11:32Fifth Dodi 100.
11:35It's been an outstanding one.
11:37Came in when Sri Lanka were 3 for 29.
11:40And hasn't he played wonderfully well?
11:47Oh, that's chipped in the air.
11:49Field are trying.
11:50Tries to get underneath it.
11:52And does really well.
11:55Well, that was to be expected.
11:57Sri Lanka was looking to play shots.
12:00Looked to go over mid-wicket.
12:01But just couldn't get that far.
12:03Good catch by Shantor.
12:04Another big wicket for Bangladesh.
12:07They'll be pretty pleased with their effort.
12:09And so will Charita Salonka be.
12:11His fifth hundred.
12:12Out for 106.
12:14Sri Lanka with five balls to go.
12:15Are 243 for nine.
12:20He's off the mark.
12:25They come back.
12:26They come back.
12:27Oh, got him.
12:30That's brilliant.
12:30Tauhid Ridhoi threw the stumps down at the bowler's end.
12:35And Sri Lanka are all out.
12:38This is really good fielding.
12:41They're running for everything.
12:43That's why they call tail-enders.
12:45It didn't start well.
12:49They lost early wickets.
12:50Three for 29.
12:51Kusal Mindy is 45.
12:53But it was left to Charita Salonka to score his fifth ODI 100 and give Sri Lanka something to bowl at.
13:01They struggled with cramps.
13:06Mustafizur just the six overs.
13:07But Taskin somehow got through his tent.
13:10Picked up four crucial wickets.
13:11Tanzim, Hassan Saqib was outstanding as well.
13:15Tanvir Islam, well, he'll give them hope to how he performed on debut.
13:19Debutant for Bangladesh in the middle.
13:27Or is Hossein Iman?
13:29A little wide longer than Iman is Tanzid Hassan Tamim into his 23rd innings.
13:39The good strike rate.
13:42Here we go.
13:43Oh, right on the money.
13:49Dipping into Iman.
13:51And he liked that.
13:53First up, but how much better than that delivery can you do?
14:00That's win.
14:01And that's played away.
14:02We've been square.
14:03And it goes away to the boundary.
14:08He's got behind that very nicely.
14:10That is a perfect looking shot.
14:12That's going to get him another four runs.
14:16Down the wicket.
14:18Gives him the charge.
14:19Doesn't make the as good a contact that he would have liked.
14:23But still managed to get more runs.
14:26Very positive.
14:30Off light it.
14:32And it was spotted very early.
14:36And he's gone again.
14:37And he's gone straighter.
14:38And he's going to get himself four more runs.
14:41This is excellent attacking cricket from Tanzid.
14:44Oh, now.
14:48How lovely is that?
14:50Oh, just a delectable drive right down the line.
14:55Straight as an arrow.
14:58There it goes again.
14:59Now there's an opportunity.
15:01Getting a little carried away.
15:03There it is.
15:04You just get on the floor to be arrogant.
15:10That's a better option.
15:11He stopped.
15:14And no disturbance.
15:17For the wicketkeeper.
15:18Now, Kosal Mendes held it quite nicely.
15:20Reverse cup.
15:22And he has done the job.
15:24Iman who's walking back with a contribution of 13.
15:2829 for one.
15:29He has the runs himself.
15:34The first test match.
15:39Nicely riding that.
15:45That's better.
15:46And he's been rewarded.
15:48Well time stroke.
15:49And he was nonchalant about it.
16:03Just hung his hand.
16:05And caught that one with a lot of ease.
16:09Amazing.
16:09There he goes.
16:14He's moving his feet.
16:16As soon as he starts moving freely,
16:18he swings the bat.
16:19And he gets enough of it to take it to the boundary.
16:25Lovely shot.
16:26Very clever indeed.
16:28He created the angle.
16:33Shortish.
16:34He's gone on to it quickly.
16:35So another boundary.
16:39Lovely hit.
16:41Controlled all the way in front of square and four.
16:47Short delivery.
16:48That didn't turn.
16:50And it's hit away on the leg side for four.
16:5650.
16:58That's a very good innings.
17:00Almost run a ball.
17:04He's fourth in his career.
17:06And second versus Sri Lanka.
17:07And it's come at a very good time.
17:11It's 87 for one.
17:18And allows him to get on the back foot.
17:20Again a couple of runs.
17:21Good running.
17:22Oh, could be tight.
17:23Could be tight.
17:25They have run the second run.
17:26I think the Sri Lankans are celebrating.
17:28It's nice and slow.
17:33Is it here?
17:34I can see the bat is on the line.
17:36And the bills are off.
17:37I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
17:41Massive, massive picket for Sri Lanka.
17:44Fuck you, bro.
17:44Fuck you.
17:4623.
17:47And it's 100 for two.
17:49Bangladesh.
17:49Now, how close is that?
17:54That's the wrong end.
17:55Ruchira Pallaguru doesn't answer it in the affirmative.
18:01There was a sound.
18:02That might have deterred the umpire.
18:05I think they're going to go.
18:07They're going to go ahead.
18:10Origin to see you're not out.
18:12Fitching outside off.
18:14Impact in line.
18:15That was the wicket they were after.
18:26101 for three.
18:29And this time.
18:31Oh, what a catch.
18:32What a catch.
18:34That is done in the end again for you.
18:36That is a wicket they were after.
18:37And that is a match winning catch.
18:40If there was one.
18:41Has to be a mixture.
18:45Of reflexes and athleticism.
18:48Both combined.
18:50To get rid of.
18:52The danger, Tansin.
18:54Oh, wow.
18:55And such a big wicket here.
18:57Tansin goes for 62.
18:58Bangladesh now 102 for four.
19:03Oh, throw him.
19:05Throw him.
19:06With the arm.
19:07He was playing for turn.
19:08And that ball came in.
19:10He should start winning game for his country with his talent.
19:17It hasn't been fulfilled.
19:20It's Ridhoi walking back after scoring one.
19:221-0-3 for five.
19:27Now, how about that?
19:28That's given.
19:29This time, no problems about that.
19:31But the better might refer it.
19:36Origin to see an out.
19:39Pitching outside off.
19:40Impact in line.
19:42Pick up hitting.
19:44Ritchie, stay with you.
19:45Origin to see an standby.
19:48You're on screen.
19:48Please ignore.
19:49After a bright start.
19:51This innings of Bangladesh is tottering.
19:55The skipper goes without scoring.
19:57It's 103 for six.
20:04Okay, good.
20:06How about fielding?
20:08This evening.
20:12Look at this.
20:13A friendly full toss.
20:14And, Tiksanan.
20:17Very good catch.
20:19Out for one.
20:24And then four for seven.
20:29Okay.
20:30Another one.
20:32Another one.
20:33For Sri Lanka, it's coming a little bit too easily.
20:38Tusken doesn't believe it.
20:39He's thinking about reviewing it.
20:41He's done that.
20:43What do you see on out?
20:45Pitching in line.
20:47Impact in line.
20:48Pitching in line.
20:49Pitching in line.
20:49Pitching in line.
20:49Stay with you.
20:50Origin to see an police.
20:52Stand by.
20:54You're on screen.
20:55Please ignore.
20:56Well, everything that the Sri Lankans are touching are turning to gold.
21:01Bangladesh, 105 to 8.
21:03Well, he's hit that, hit that well.
21:13Yes.
21:14Go on.
21:14He doesn't survive.
21:16Kusal Mendes picks up the nick.
21:17That caram ball and cut it straight into the gloves.
21:23No worries.
21:24Nine down now.
21:27Kanvir Islam goes for five.
21:30It's 125 for nine.
21:31Oh, yes.
21:34Hit well.
21:36That's what this man can do.
21:43Once again, catches the call.
21:45Catch is going to be taken by one of the grounds persons outside.
21:49Now, it's up in the air.
21:54Catch it is the call.
21:56And once again, it's too long for anyone to even think about catching it.
22:03Outside age.
22:05And this will get Jacques Raleigh to his third half century in international cricket.
22:14That's close.
22:15That is close.
22:16Give him.
22:19And comprehensive win for the Sri Lankans in the opening game of this three matches ODI series.
22:28They have this game under wraps.
22:30Clearly in front of the stumps.
