Dubai – Bangladesh and Sri Lanka clashed with words before today’s match in Group B in the Asia Cup Cricket. The Bangladesh team was angered by the words of the Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka, who were regarding to embark on a crucial match on Thursday. The Lankan captain’s argument is that Bangladesh are easy opponents for Sri Lanka. Shanaka also said that Bangladesh has only two players who can be called world-class bowlers. The words of the Lankan captain compared Bangladesh with the Afghan players.
“Afghanistan has a world-class bowling line-up. Mustafizur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan are good bowlers. After him, there is no other world-class bowler in the Bangladesh team. That is why it is easier to face Bangladesh when compared to Afghanistan” – the Sri Lankan captain claimed.
After Shanaka’s words, Khalid Mahmood, the director of the Bangladesh team, came with an answer. Khalid Mahmood said that Sri Lanka does not have a world-class bowler. “This is regarding Dasun. Why does he think it is easy to face us?. Sometimes Afghanistan can be the best T20 team. He had said that we have only two good bowlers. Bangladesh has at least two, I don’t see a single one in Sri Lanka. Lanka doesn’t have players like Mustafizur and Shakib” – Mahmood retorted in the press conference.
The Bangladesh team director said that how a match is played is important and we can see what the game will be. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka lost to Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. Winners on Thursday will advance to the next round as runners-up in Group B. After winning the first two matches, Afghanistan had already confirmed the Super Four.
