Finally the much discussed series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has ended. Despite losing the ODI series, the Lankans returned with the satisfaction of winning the T20 and Test series. The fight between these two teams will be seen again in the T20 World Cup. Where Bangladesh and Sri Lanka face each other in the first match of the two teams. What will be seen in the match between the two teams? But Dhananjaya de Silva, the captain of the Test version of Sri Lanka, is not seeing any duel against Bangladesh.
However, in recent times, there has been a lot of tension between the two teams in the field due to various reasons. India surpasses everything in the World Cup. The dismissal of Angelo Mathews in the crucial match against Sri Lanka has been much debated. Supporters of the two teams are on social media. Despite entering the field in that match, Mathews could not bat at the scheduled time. Then Shakib asked him to be timed out. The decision is in favor of Bangladesh. Which the Lankans could not take well.
Some such images have been seen in the current series as well. Shariful Islam's celebration by dismissing Aviska Fernando in the first T20 match was special. With the left hand crossed, the right hand gestured to the watch. Then the Sri Lankans answered that by winning the series. He imitated Shariful in the joy of winning the trophy.
Bangladesh did not stop either. The Tigers responded again by winning the ODI series. Experienced cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim dramatized the incident of Mathews' out in the World Cup before the photo session with the trophy. The skipper went to Shant and showed him the helmet strap. Shanto also joined that play. He pretended to say that he had nothing to do. At the end, Mushfiq acted to leave the field in anger.
But it started in the 2018 Nidahas Trophy. Bangladesh booked their ticket to the final after winning a thrilling match against Sri Lanka in the group stage. In that match, extreme tension spread between the players of the two teams. At one point, the then captain Shakib Al Hasan wanted to leave the field with the angry players. Nurul Hossain Sohan, who was out of the eleven, can be seen ruling the Lankan cricketers by entering the field with water.
The Lankan captain came to the press conference after the 192-run win against Bangladesh in the Chittagong Test. It was asked about the duel between the two teams there. Dhananjaya replied, 'There is no conflict here. It is just a match between two teams. The match will certainly be in spirit and will surely be a tough fight. It will be against all teams.' Then the media manager of Sri Lanka said the same thing in tune with him. He claimed that it was only created by the media.
