Last year was not very bad for Bangladesh cricket team. In international cricket, the representatives of red and green have matched themselves quite well. After the World Cup failure, the year-end series against New Zealand turned around brilliantly.
The first two months of the new year have been spent in BPL frenzy. After the turn of domestic cricket, it is time to return to international cricket. Bangladesh has entered the field in the first match of the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today (March 4).
Although not like England-Australia or Pakistan-India, the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka match is also very enjoyable in current cricket. In 2017, Bangladesh’s rivalry with Sri Lanka got a new form since the Nidahas Trophy. The Shakib-Mathews dismissal controversy in the last ODI World Cup has added an extra dimension to the rivalry.
Skipper Shanto wants to keep this fight aside and make maximum efforts to win. “I think it’s a very good series,” Shanto said in the pre-match press conference. You must do whatever it takes to win. And not thinking about external affairs with Sri Lanka, what happened in the past, that is gone.
