The Saturday game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka proved to be a stunning thriller. The tigers downed Lankan lions by four wickets, courtesy of great batting by Towhid Hridoy and Saif Hassan. The young guns of Bangladesh played splendid knocks to ensure their team came out as winners in the first Super Four clash.

The target of 169 set up by Sri Lanka looked tough, but Saif&rsquo;s brilliance at the start and Towhid&rsquo;s masterclass during the middle overs gave Bangladesh the much-needed win. They trounced the Lankan Lions by 4 wickets, giving their team a strong start in the Super Four stage of the ACC Men&rsquo;s Asia Cup 2025.

After winning the toss, Bangladesh decided to bowl first. It was a dry pitch in Dubai, hence Bangladesh immediately took the decision to have a go at bowling. Keeping in view the conditions, they made two critical changes to their squad by bringing in Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam in place of Rishad Hossain and Nurul Hasan. This was precisely done to bolster their bowling department, which took a heavy beating in the last contest against Sri Lanka.

When the first innings started, the Lankan openers looked in complete control. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis started off well by taking down the threat of Nasum Ahmed. Their brisk start took Sri Lanka to a good Powerplay total, denting the early hopes of Bangladesh fans.

However, as soon as the Powerplay ended, Sri Lanka fell into the trap of Bangladesh. They lost quick wickets, which allowed Bangladesh to come back into the game. The middle order of Sri Lanka struggled to fire today, as Bangladesh bowlers kept continuous pressure on them.

The sinking batting ship of Sri Lanka got steadied when Dasun Shanaka came out to bat. He showcased superlative power-hitting in today&rsquo;s game. The all-rounder went berserk with the six-hitting frenzy, disrupting all the death bowling plans of the Bangladesh team. It was due to his efforts, Sri Lanka scored a formidable total of 168 in the first innings of the game.

When Bangladesh came out to chase this stiff target, they surprised the Lankan bowlers. The opener, Saif Hassan, showcased a stunning hitting style in the Powerplay. He took down the threat of Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera by relentlessly hitting big sixes. This set the tone for the Bangladesh team, and they started to feel confident in the chase.

Litton Das also played well alongside Saif Hassan in the Powerplay to lift the scoring rate. Due to their combined hitting, Bangladesh were able to score 59 at the end of the Powerplay. The Bangladesh captain, however, fell in the 7th over when he tried to take on Hasaranga with a slog at deep backward square leg.

Things then became a bit difficult for Bangladesh batters, as the Sri Lankan team started to apply pressure. However, the duo of Towhid Hridoy and Saif Hassan played smartly during the middle overs, ensuring not to lose further wickets to attacking Sri Lankan bowlers.

The plan worked, and both batters got set in the crease. Towhid played with confidence by taking down the spin attack of the Sri Lankan team. His superlative innings of 58 runs gave Bangladesh the strong impetus it needed to chase the target at the end.

Bangladesh chased the target and won the match in the last over, though it came as a tough win. They will now face India on Wednesday, which will be yet another tight contest between the two Asian giants.

Bangladesh came out as winners in the first Super Four clash against Sri Lanka. They chased down the target of 169 by losing just 6 wickets.

Bangladesh Defeats Sri Lanka in a Thriller at Dubai

Sri Lanka has posted a strong total of 168 against Bangladesh at Dubai. This is the first match of the Super Four stage, hence both teams are looking to win it to make a strong start. The pitch at Dubai was a bit dry, but Sri Lanka used its batting resources perfectly to put on a strong total on the board. Dasun Shanaka remained the star of the Sri Lankan batting innings, as he played a furious knock of 64 runs by hitting 9 boundaries in total.

After winning the toss, Bangladesh quickly chose to bowl first. They made the decision after looking at the dry nature of the pitch. They made two changes in their squad for today&rsquo;s game by including &nbsp; Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam in place of Rishad Hossain and Nurul Hasan. Both are specialist bowlers, giving Bangladesh attack a strong chance against the rampant Sri Lankan team.

Sri Lanka made a strong start in the Powerplay, as their openers played freely against Bangladesh bowlers. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka took down the experienced Nasum and Shoriful by targeting the short boundary. Both looked very well with the bat today, until Taskin Ahmed removed Nissanka in the 5th over.

Once the Powerplay ended and Nissanka got out, things became difficult for Sri Lanka. They struggled to lift the tempo that was set in the Powerplay. Kusal Mendis, who was once again looking set, got out in the 8th over while trying to take on the deep backward square leg fielder. He got out after making just 34 runs in today&rsquo;s Super Four clash.

Kamil Mishara, who came out to bat at number 3, also couldn&rsquo;t do much in the middle. He looked uncomfortable from the start due to Bangladesh&#39;s tight bowling. After getting Mendis wicket, Mahedi Hasan then sent Mishara back to the pavilion in the 10th over. This was the time when Bangladesh was in full control of the match. They squeezed the scoring rate of Sri Lanka batters, precisely due to bowling tight line and length deliveries.

The batting innings of Sri Lanka now looked very shaky, as experienced performers like Mendis, Nissanka and Perera were already sent back to the dugout. But, things changed as soon as Dasun Shanaka came out to bat. He made a clear difference in today&rsquo;s match by playing an exceptional knock of 64 runs off just 37 balls.

Dasun Shanaka took down every Bangladesh bowler ferociously. He looked in complete control in today&rsquo;s game, as his six-hitting frenzy disrupted the plans of Bangladesh. Due to his great hitting at the death, Sri Lanka once again posted a strong total of 168 on the scoreboard. This could ultimately prove to be a match-winning innings, should Sri Lanka successfully defend this total in the second innings.

Dasun Shanaka helped Sri Lanka to put on a strong total of 168 against Bangladesh. He played a commanding knock of 64 runs at Dubai.

Sri Lanka Sets Up 169 Target for Bangladesh

In a high-stakes Super Four clash against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh has opted to bowl first. They have come into the game with two changes. They have brought in the experienced Mahedi Hasan in place of Rishad Hossain, while Shoriful Islam has replaced Nurul Hasan in the final squad. This would be a test of Bangladesh, as they have lost against Sri Lanka previously in the group stage game.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka has made no changes to its squad. They have opted to go in with the same Playing XI that defeated Afghanistan two days ago. This shows the confidence they have in their squad which is performing very well in this year&rsquo;s Asia Cup. The pitch at Dubai looks dry, so it will require cautious batting from the Sri Lankan openers.

Talking about the matchups, we could see a thrilling contest between some good names from both teams. Bangladesh will rely on their bowling to make early inroads, while Sri Lanka will also hope to showcase its opening firepower in the Powerplay. Therefore, it would be a good contest between both teams, and we could expect some thrilling performances in it.

The last group stage match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was a one-sided contest. Sri Lanka cruised to victory without facing much resistance from Bangladesh. However, this time, the tigers will try to make a strong comeback. They will try to avoid the mistakes that happened in the previous match, as winning this Super Four clash is important for them.

A lot will depend on their opening bowlers, as Nasum and Shoriful will try to pick quick Sri Lankan wickets. If they succeed, Sri Lanka will be pushed onto the back foot. Meanwhile, the tigers also need to control the scoring rate in the middle overs, as Sri Lanka has some experienced resources to take the game away from them.

The match is now underway at Dubai, where Sri Lanka has started off very well. So far, Bangladesh has picked just 1 wicket, as Sri Lankan openers have come very hard at them in the Powerplay.

Bangladesh has decided to bowl first against Sri Lanka at Dubai. They will be looking to win their first Super Four clash on Saturday.

Bangladesh Choose to Bowl First Against Rampant Sri Lanka

Bangladesh captain Litton Das has said that his team batters were not up to the mark in the Powerplay. This became the core reason for their defeat against Sri Lanka, and thus, it needs to be improved in the upcoming matches.

Batting first, Bangladesh lost quick wickets and scored just 30 runs in the Powerplay, courtesy of some tight bowling from skilled Sri Lankan bowlers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bangladesh&rsquo;s batting innings came under pressure right from the start when Nuwan Thushara removed Tanizd Hasan in the first over. After that, Dushmantha Chameera removed Emon quickly, further inflicting more pressure on the Bangladesh batting lineup.

Due to tight bowling and sustained pressure, Bangladesh never recovered, and their batters kept struggling throughout the Powerplay.

&quot;I thought in the Powerplay we lost the game. A wicket was a very good one to bat on.&rdquo; said Litton Das in the post-match presentation. He also stated that their bowling and fielding were not up to the mark against attacking Sri Lankan batters.

Despite losing 5 wickets for just 54 runs, Bangladesh still managed to put on a respectable total on the scoreboard. This largely came due to the valiant contributions from Shamim Hossain and Jaker Ali in the middle. Both played cautiously, giving Bangladesh a fighting total of 139 against rampant Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh will now face Afghanistan in the next do-or-die game on Tuesday. Litton Das is optimistic that the team will overcome its shortcomings in due time and will put on a better show to keep their tournament hopes alive.

Litton Das has said that poor Powerplay batting became the main reason for their defeat against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup clash.

Sri Lanka registered an easy win over Bangladesh in a high-profile Group B clash of the ACC Men&rsquo;s Asia Cup 2025. The Sri Lankan team looked dominant from ball one, as they kept pressure on the young Bangladesh team throughout the match. Guided by Kamil Mishara, Sri Lanka completed the modest chase of 139 in 14.4 overs by losing just 4 wickets.

After winning the toss, Sri Lanka opted to field first. They knew that the pitch was fresh, hence they chose to bowl first to extract good bounce and seam from the wicket. The Sri Lankan bowlers were right on the money from the first over. They didn&rsquo;t allow Bangladesh batters to settle in, as Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera took early wickets and kept continuous pressure on them.

After losing 5 wickets for just 54 runs, Bangladesh desperately needed a partnership. Shamim and Jaker then played cautiously, knowing that there was not much batting left in the late order. They kept taking singles and doubles to keep the scoreboard rotating, and then tried to launch some shots in the end to give Bangladesh a modest total of 139.

When Sri Lanka came out to chase the target, they looked completely at ease. Pathum Nissanka, as always, showed his class in a tricky chase. He scored a classy 50 off 34 deliveries, smashing 6 fours and a six. While losing Mendis at the start, he was greatly accompanied by Kamil Mishara. The young batter also played well by scoring 46 off 32 balls, smacking 4 fours and 2 big sixes.

In the end, it looked like a cakewalk for the Sri Lankan team, as they chased down the modest Bangladeshi total within 15 overs. Sri Lanka now looks well set to grab the top position in Group B, as they will play their next match against Hong Kong in Dubai on Monday.

Sri Lanka hunted down Bangladesh with complete ease in Abu Dhabi. They chased down the target of 140 within just 15 overs.

Sri Lanka Beats Bangladesh in a Commanding Style

In a high profile Group B clash, Bangladesh has scored 139 against Sri Lanka at Abu Dhabi. The partnership between Shamim and Jaker proved vital for the Bangladesh team. They played cautiously during the middle overs, making sure to take the game deep without losing further wickets.

Starting the innings, Sri Lankan bowlers attacked the Bangladeshi batters with stunning line and length. As the Abu Dhabi pitch was new, it offered plenty of seam and swing for the Sri Lankan bowlers. Nuwan Thushara made the vital breakthrough in the first over by removing the off stump of Tanzid Hasan with a stunning inswinger. After that, Bangladesh batters came under pressure and lost three more wickets within the Powerplay.

The partnership between Shamim and Jaker then provided a steady base to the Bangladesh team. Both batters understood the situation well and tried to take singles and doubles to keep the scoreboard rotating. Shamim scored 42 off 34 with 3 fours and a six, while Jaker scored 41 with 2 fours.

Sri Lanka has won the toss and opted to bowl in a high-stakes clash against Bangladesh. The two Asian giants are playing on a fresh pitch in Abu Dhabi, meaning there is bounce and seam available for bowlers.

Talking about the teams, Sri Lanka has brought in Wanindu Hasaranga as the only spinner in the squad. He has returned to the Asia Cup squad as a fully fit player after missing out the Zimbabwe tour due to a hamstring injury.

Sri Lanka has opted to bring in three all-rounders in the squad for this big clash, including Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, and Wanindu Hasaranga. Alongside them, three specialist fast bowlers will bring in the heat in Abu Dhabi, including Dushmantha Chameera, Matheesha Pathirana, and Nuwan Thushara.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, has also picked three specialist fast bowlers. They have left out Taskin Ahmed and included Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman as the specialist fast bowling options. Both Mustafizur and Shoriful are attacking left arm seamers, hence giving them a go against Sri Lankan openers does look to be a good option for Bangladesh.

The game is now underway and is looking well-balanced as Sri Lanka has picked four quick wickets.

Mahedi, Tanzid Lead Bangladesh to Landmark T20I Series Win in Sri Lanka

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan has finally spoken about Shakib Al Hasan&rsquo;s future in international cricket, amid growing questions over the all-rounder&rsquo;s role and long-term availability.

In a recent interview with local media, Hassan said the board is in regular contact with Shakib but admitted there&rsquo;s still no clarity on whether he plans to continue across formats. &ldquo;We are speaking to Shakib. He has not officially said anything about retirement or stepping down,&rdquo; the BCB chief revealed. &ldquo;As far as I know, he is available, but we also have to see what he wants.&rdquo;

Shakib, who has been a key figure in Bangladesh cricket for over a decade, has not been consistently involved with the team across all formats this year. He missed several tours due to injury and personal decisions, and there has been speculation about whether he will fully commit to the national side in the lead-up to the 2025 Champions Trophy and beyond.

<a href="https://a-sports.tv/bangladesh-cricket-president-opens-up-on-shakib-al-hasan-future">The BCB president acknowledged</a> that Shakib&rsquo;s decision will heavily impact Bangladesh&rsquo;s plans. &ldquo;If he is fit and available, he&rsquo;s always a part of our plans. But we also need to plan ahead if he chooses to focus on fewer formats or take a break,&rdquo; Hassan said.

Shakib last played a full series earlier in 2025 and has since been limited to occasional appearances. His absence during the recent Zimbabwe Tri-Nation Series was also noted by fans and experts, further fuelling talks about a potential transition phase in Bangladesh&rsquo;s squad.

Meanwhile, fans remain divided on social media. While many believe Shakib still has much to offer, others think it&rsquo;s time for the team to groom new leaders.

As things stand, the BCB will wait for Shakib to make a clear call on his future. Until then, his involvement remains uncertain.

BCB President Breaks Silence on Shakib Al Hasan’s Future

Veteran Bangladesh coach Salahuddin has ruled out setting a stamp of favouritism after the increasing suspicion over his position with the national side. This comes amid uncertainty over whether the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will retain him as part of their coaching setup after the Zimbabwe Tri-Nation Series 2025.

Salahuddin addressed rumours suggesting that some players had been given preference due to personal relationships. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t believe in favouritism. I&rsquo;ve always focused on developing players based on their merit and performance,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t pick players. That&rsquo;s not my job. My role is to support them, help them improve.&rdquo;

Salahuddin has long been seen as a mentor to several top Bangladeshi cricketers, including Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Tamim Iqbal. While that has earned him respect, it has also led to criticism that he holds too much influence behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, the BCB has not made any clear statement on Salahuddin&rsquo;s future with the national side. Board officials, when asked, have repeatedly stated that a decision will be made after internal reviews.&nbsp;

The silence from the BCB has left fans divided. Some have taken to social media to defend Salahuddin&rsquo;s contributions, while others believe a fresh coaching approach may be needed as Bangladesh prepares for upcoming ICC events.

For now, Salahuddin continues to work with players on a short-term basis and remains open to extending his involvement&mdash;if the board sees value in it.

Veteran Bangladeshi coach Salahuddin has dismissed claims of favouritism following growing speculation about his role with the national team.

Salahuddin Rejects Favouritism Claims as BCB Stays Silent on His Future

In the second T20I, Bangladesh levelled the three-match series at 1-1, when they defeated Sri Lanka by a vast 83 runs. A victory that held testament to their incredible batting and precise bowling, even on a rainy day.

Bangladesh chose to bat first and left a solid 177 for 7. This was facilitated by Liton Das&rsquo;s unbeaten 76 off 50 balls and reinforced by a dynamic 48 off 27 from Shamim Hossain. They reclaimed the momentum with their stellar 77-run stand in just 39 deliveries.

Although they initially ran into a hurdle, losing both openers in just the first two overs, Liton skillfully anchored the innings and survived a narrow challenge on 30 and 56. This partnership gave the innings much-needed stability.

Bangladesh&#39;s bowlers struck hard; Rishad Hossain&rsquo;s 3/18 skillfully took advantage of&nbsp; Sri Lanka&#39;s weaknesses. Both Shoriful Islam and Mohammad Saifuddin supported him on this when they claimed two wickets, as the hosts were bundled out for 94 in just 15.2 overs. This was their lowest T20I total at home.

The match collapsed early for Sri Lanka, with four wickets down for 30 inside the powerplay. A direct-hit run-out from Shamim and tight lines from Shoriful and Saifuddin dismantled the chase.

This 83-run triumph is Bangladesh&rsquo;s largest ever T20I win against a Test nation, eclipsing their previous best of 80 runs against the West Indies in 2024. Despite their 84-run win over Papua New Guinea, this has been their second-largest margin ever.

Sri Lanka&rsquo;s total of 94 all out marks their worst home T20I score ever. This underlined Bangladesh&#39;s dominance in this fixture.

<h2>What&rsquo;s next</h2>

Series decider: The final T20I takes place on 16 July at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, with both teams set for a winner‑takes‑all showdown.

Bangladesh&rsquo;s momentum: Liton&rsquo;s form and Rishad&rsquo;s spin, together, could define the decider.

Sri Lanka&rsquo;s challenge: Their batting needs serious regrouping, strong starts and penalty-corner conversion must be priorities.

Bangladesh&rsquo;s aggressive response turned the tide in the series: a statement performance with bat and ball that sets up a high-stakes decider on Wednesday. Sri Lanka must bounce back&mdash;but on this form, Bangladesh are full of confidence.
