ICC leading run scorers after BAN vs SL: Match 38

In the 38th match of the ongoing marquee cricket event, Bangladesh registered a thumping 3-wicket victory against the Sri Lankans. The two teams are currently lurking low in the ICC Ranking Points table, with Bangladesh ahead of Sri Lanka due to a superior run rate. The match was held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, with Bangladesh having won the toss and choosing to bowl first. The Sri Lankans lodged a target of 280 runs with Bangladesh successfully achieving the target in just 41 overs. 

Who were the highest scorers in today’s match? 

Sri Lanka’s Charith Asalanka smashed a power hitting century of 108 runs off 105 deliveries followed by Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama who scored 40 runs each for the team marking a significant role. The highest wicket taker was Dilshan Madushanka who picked up 3 wickets conceding 69 runs while Angelo Mathews knocked out two Bangladesh’s batsmen conceding only 35 runs. It was a day of rage for Mathews as after Sadeera’s wicket, Angelo was dismissed before receiving the ball as he didn’t come out to bat within 3-minutes which challenged the rule book. 

In reply, Bangladeshi batsman Najmul Hassn Shanto came close to hitting a century but eventually he got dismissed after smashing 90 runs off 101 balls. Next came skipper Shakib Al Hasan who scored 65-ball-82 for the team. Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib picked up 3 wickets whilst conceding 80 runs in the 10 overs he bowled.

After today’s knock, Sadeera Samarawickrama achieved the 7th position after having played a 41-run knock with a total of 372 runs.
