That wraps up our coverage of this game. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator Karthik Raj and scorer Dushyant Madhukar Kumar. Bye bye.
A convincing victory for Sri Lanka over Bangladesh to clinch the Bronze Medal in the Men's Cricket Competition in the Asian Games 2026. Now, India will face Pakistan in the Gold Medal match, which begins shortly. Do switch tabs to follow live-action of that contest, which promises to be an exciting one.
8:38 AM IST, 12:08 PM Local Time: That’s it. Sri Lanka grab the Bronze Medal in the Men’s Cricket Competition in the Asian Games 2026. They beat Bangladesh by 63 runs to a secure a medal. A comprehensive victory for the Lankan side.
Sri Lanka opted to bat first and their top four batters registered single-digit scores as Bangladeshi spinners spun a web upfront. Lasith Croospulle (2), Sineth Jayawardena (3), Sohan de Livera (6) and Nuwanidu Fernando (1) were back in the hut as Sri Lanka reeled at 29/4 at the end of the powerplay.
Skipper Sahan Arachchige and Ashen Bandara put 33 between them before the latter fell in the 11th over. In walked Tharindu Ratnayake and changed the whole complexion of the match. He counter-attacked brilliantly and put Bangladesh under serious pressure. He looked unstoppable at the crease and hit boundaries for fun.
Ratnayake scored 65 off 32 before falling in the 19th over as the 93-run stand was broken. Arachchige scored a well-composed 37-ball 33 as Sri Lanka finished their innings on 165/9. For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan (2/19), Saif Hassan (2/28) and Mustafizur Rahman (2/43) grabbed two scalps apiece.
Chasing 166, Bangladesh got off to a disastrous start. Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan and skipper Litton Das departed without troubling the scorers. Towhid Hridoy (11) started positively before falling in the fourth over. Parvez Hossain Emon and Yasir Ali resurrected the innings with a 32-run stand before the Lankans stormed back into the contest.
Emon (20), Mahedi Hasan (0), Rishad Hossain (10) and Yasir (21) were dismissed in a quick succession. Nasum Ahmed emerged as the top-scorer for Bangladesh with 26 as they got bundled out on 102 in 17.3 overs to lose the fixture by 63 runs.
It was a complete performance from the Lankan bowlers. Nuwan Thushara (2/18), Tharindu Ratnayake (2/18), Vijayakanth Viyaskanth (2/26) and Wanuja Sahan (2/17) pocked up two wickets apiece. Skipper Sahan Arachchige (1/9) and Dushan Hemantha (1/11) grabbed a scalp each as they completed a dominant all-around performance to clinch the Bronze Medal.
