Bangladesh Set To Chase 256 Against Sri Lanka In First Odi: Shanto And Rahim Key As Injuries Plague Hosts' Bowling Attack

In the first One Day International (ODI) between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Chattogram, the hosts are set to chase a total of 256 runs after the visitors were bowled out for 255. Key performances by Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, and Maheesh Theekshana impacted the match.

The Bangladesh team, led by Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto, will need a strong batting performance to secure victory against a Sri Lankan bowling attack that made quick work of the Bangladeshi batsmen.

Liyanage and Pathum Nissanka‘s solid opening partnership put Sri Lanka in a dominant position early on, but the hosts fought back with crucial wickets taken by Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

The injuries plaguing the Bangladesh bowling attack forced strategic changes and a combination of Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz had to step up to limit Sri Lanka’s total at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
