Bangladesh-Sri Lanka series means heat now. ‘Timed out controversy’ heats up in ODI World Cup after ‘naagin dance’ in Nidahas Trophy. On the day Bangladesh equalized in the second match of the just-concluded T20 series against Sri Lanka, the Snicko controversy was renewed. Many thought that the ‘timed out’ debate was over. But no, the ‘timed out controversy’ came back again in the third match.
Indications were that the Lankan cricketers were celebrating after beating Bangladesh 2-1 in the series on Saturday. On this day, the Sri Lankan cricketers pointed to the watch and reminded the old discussion. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto is not taking it positively.
After the match, he told the press, ‘Aggressively, it’s out of control. They are with that timed out, so it appears. I think they still haven’t come out (of it). I think that should come out. Should be present. We didn’t do anything outside the rules of the game. Let it be a little too much talk, we are not worried about it.’
Meanwhile, in the fourth over of the innings, after Tawheed Hriday got out, there was tension in the field for a while. Hriday was seen getting tangled up with the Lankan cricketers. Sri Lankan cricketers were also in aggressive form. But captain Shanto could not say anything about what exactly happened, ‘I don’t know what actually happened.’
Despite losing the series against Sri Lanka, Shanto thinks that this result will be useful in preparation for the World Cup, ‘Of course T20 matches should be played on such wickets. Bowlers are also getting a better experience of how to bowl on good wickets. Batters need to chase 170-180-200 runs. I think it’s a good preparation before the World Cup.
