Sri Lanka pull off ‘timed-out’ celebration after series win
The Sri Lanka team pulled out a ‘timed out’ celebration following their 28-run series-winning victory against Bangladesh in the third and final T20I at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The visitors celebrated by pointing their fingers on their wrists referring to Angelo Matthews’ timed out dismissal against Bangladesh in the 2023 World Cup in India. Bangladesh-Sri Lanka encounters have brought out feisty contests in the recent past and tensions spilled over on Saturday as well when Towhid Hridoy got into an altercation with the Sri Lanka team after his dismissal.

With the gloom surrounding Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's retirement from T20Is hanging over today's second T20I against Sri Lanka, the man took it upon himself to ensure that it does not overshadow the match and that it inspires the team to come up with a rare T20I win to leave Sri Lanka with squared series in all formats of the game.
Tough task for Tigers

Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews will miss the remaining fixtures of Bangladesh's tour after being ruled out of the Twenty20 matches starting in Colombo on Tuesday.
At times sublime, but not quite seminal
Speaking with the shady benefit of hindsight may not be the most honest thing to do, but it will be even more disingenuous to deny that the status of Bangladesh's ODI progress hinged to a large extent on the result of the third ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo, which they lost by 70 runs on Saturday.
Sanga return an April fool’s joke
Admirers of the elegant excellence of Kumar Sangakkara and fans of cricketing scandal will be bitterly disappointed to learn that a story that ran on the website of Sri Lanka’s reputed Island newspaper proclaiming the return of Sangakkara for today’s third ODI against Bangladesh was nothing more than a an April Fool’s joke.
