Bangladesh started the Asia Cup with a big dream and a bang. They are batting as usual in their opening match against hosts Sri Lanka. One after another, the batsmen have returned to the pavilion, failing to bat. Tanzid Hasan, Naim Sheikh, Shakib and Mushfiqur among them.
Run out in a misunderstanding at the moment of the team’s danger. Mehedi Hasan Miraz was the victim of a tragic run out. Bangladesh’s danger increased further. There is doubt whether they can bat for 50 overs. How did Miraz get run out?
Mehedi Hasan Miraz-Shanto duo was the last hope of Bangladesh after Mushfiqur’s departure. But the two batsmen seemed to have wasted that last support. Miraz played the third ball of the 37th over to square leg. There was a fielder there, so he tried to take a run but stopped after two or three steps.
But Shanto, who was at the other end, could not control himself. In the end, both batsmen entered one end. As a result, Rajitha broke the wicket and the umpire saw in the review that Shanto had entered the crease first, so Miraz had to return to the dressing room.
Shanto could have been run out too. He started walking thinking he was out. The umpires stopped him. Miraz had to return to the dressing room in the end. Watching the television replay, it seems that Miraz willingly sacrificed his wicket for Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was on the verge of a century!
