In the 38th match of the 2023 World Cup, Bangladesh took on Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi. The toss favored Bangladesh, and they decided to bat first, while Sri Lanka's captain, Kusal Mendis, didn't mind the challenge of setting a target of over 300 runs. However, the Sri Lankan innings didn't go as planned.

The game took an unexpected turn right from the first over as Bangladesh claimed their first wicket. Kusal Perera followed, and Kusal Mendis soon departed, leaving Sri Lanka in a precarious position.


In the 13th over, Bangladesh continued their impressive performance with back-to-back wickets. The 25-year-old batsman, who had been showing promise, was dismissed by a fiery delivery from Tanzim Hasan. Nissanka's promising innings was cut short at 41 runs.

Tanzim Hasan bowled brilliantly, maintaining a length just outside the off-stump, which caught Nissanka off guard. Nissanka, trying to drive the ball through the covers, only managed to get an inside edge, which sent the ball crashing into his stumps. It was a missed opportunity for Nissanka, who had been looking in fine form.

With Nissanka's departure, Sri Lanka found themselves at 84 for 3 in 15 overs, and the game was hanging in the balance. The pressure was on the new batsmen to stabilize the innings and steer Sri Lanka toward a competitive total.
