News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket’s Big Upset: It is difficult to say what happens in cricket. Sometimes teams stand on the verge of victory and then suddenly everything changes. One such incredible and heartbreaking moment was recently seen in the first ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi team lost 7 important wickets, adding just 5 runs, which led to a big and memorable victory for Sri Lanka.

Lasith Malinga’s last fire in Colombo

The match played at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo was the last ODI of Sri Lankan legend fast bowler Lasith Malinga. Everyone wanted their farewell to be brilliant, and it happened. Batting first in the match, Sri Lanka gave Bangladesh a target of 208 runs.

Bangladeshi team lost even close to victory

When Bangladesh came out to chase the target, one time seemed that they would easily win this match. Bangladesh’s score was 173 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. The team had to score only 35 runs to win, while they had 6 wickets left in their hands. Strong batsmen were present on the field and the situation was completely under his control.

Then came that moment… 7 wickets fell on 5 runs

But then, suddenly the Bangladeshi batting order collapsed. The team’s score increased by 4 wickets for 173 runs to reach the 11th wicket for 178 runs! Bangladesh lost the remaining 7 wickets as soon as he added 5 runs. The entire team was reduced to 205 runs. Due to this shameful collapse, Sri Lanka won the match with a huge margin of 91 runs.

Lasith Malinga took 3 wickets while bowling well in his final match, in which two big wickets came during this historic collapse. Apart from him, Dhananjay Disilva also took 2 wickets. This collapse became one of the most dramatic and tragic events in Bangladeshi cricket history, which once again proved why cricket is called the ‘game of uncertainty’.
