In the first T20 match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Bangladesh team lost at home. Batting in the first innings, Sri Lanka scored 206 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, which was a big score today. But in the second innings, Bangladesh team collected 203 runs losing 8 wickets and due to over they lost and Sri Lanka team won by 3 runs. Today's game was competitive but Bangladesh team though competed for Sri Lanka but could not win it is sad for Bangladesh. But the batting performance of the two teams in today's match, I think Bangladesh team will fight for victory in the next match. Moreover, both the teams have performed well, however, as Bangladesh team lost today's match by a narrow margin, they will surely perform well in the next matches.
What a match!!!!! I don't imagine that Bangladesh will bat so well. Because usually we never see Bangladesh batting well in big targets. We have seen this in very few matches. So today after giving Sri Lanka a target of 207 I was sure that Bangladesh team is going to be defeated. I thought Bangladesh would lose by a big margin. But Bangladesh lost by just 3 runs.
Bangladesh needed only 11 runs in the last over. Bangladesh would have won the match if they had not lost two wickets in the last over. But today the performance of Bangladesh's top order was poor. Captain Shanto scored 20 runs off 22 balls. When the team is batting on such a big target, the batsmen should definitely bat at a smart strike rate.
Today Mahmudullah scored 54 runs from 31 balls and Jaker Ali scored 68 runs from 34 balls. Besides, none of the batsmen in the squad can bat well.
Anyway, congratulations to the Sri Lankan team. They advanced by winning the first match of the three-match series.
