Taskin gets ODI hattrick against Sri Lanka

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed hit a hattrick against Sri Lankan and this is a big moment for the fast bowler and his country. Taskin took a hattrick in the last over of the first innings. Sri Lankans are all out for 311 runs in this ODI games.

Taskin picked up Gunaratne, Lakmal and Pradeep. The pacer bowled full and straight and was able to register his name in the record books. It was a tidy over from Taskin. He did not give any room to the batters and attacked the stumps all the time.

Gunaratne fell first one a length ball outside the off stump. He wanted to hit the ball over mid-off but as the ball was full and straight he could not clear the fielder here. The ball hit the edge of the bat and fell straight into the hands of the fielder Sarkar.

Taskin Ahmed finished with a four-wicket haul, including a hattrick, as Sri Lanka were all out for 311 in 49.5 overs in the second One-Day International in Dambulla today.

The burly pacer, who took four wickets for 47, became the fifth Bangladesh cricketer to pick a hattrick in ODI cricket. Shahadat Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Rubel Hossain and Taijul Islam have taken hattricks for the Bangla Tigers.

Taskin Ahmed’s torrid spell knocked out the Sri Lankan tail after Kusal Mendis slammed his maiden ODI century as the hosts won the toss and decided to bat.

Taskin Ahmed knocked out Asela Gunaratne, Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep of successive deliveries to stop a torrent of runs from the Sri Lankan batsmen. Gunaratne was particularly aggressive with a 28-ball 39.

The 21-year old Taskin Ahmed’s hat trick was also the 41st in 3856 ODIs.

Taskin Ahmed became the fifth Bangladesh bowler to claim a one-day hat-trick before incessant rain washed out the second match of the series against Sri Lanka in Dambulla on Tuesday.

Opting to bat and hoping to bounce back from their 90-run defeat in the first match, Sri Lanka rode Kusal Mendis's (102) maiden one-day century to post a commanding total of 311 before being bowled out in the final over.

Paceman Taskin dismissed Asela Gunaratne, Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep off successive deliveries to complete his hat-trick and join compatriots Shahadat Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Rubel Hossain and Taijul Islam in the elite club.

The teams move to Colombo for the third and final match on Saturday.

Great catches by Wahab Riaz and Babar Azam against Australia

After Pakistan's woeful fielding in the fourth ODI I in Sydney, they wanted to start well in Adelaide. Alas, the first ball of the match, David Warner r edged an out swinger from Mohammad Amir and at second slip, Azhar Ali hurled out his left hand but couldn't make the ball stick. It was a tough chance, but a costly one. Warner went on to make 179, his career-best knock in ODIs. Warner was dropped again, though by this time he already had 130. And this time it was a sitter. Warner skied the ball off Hasan Ali and Amir, running in from long-on, positioned himself perfectly under the ball, only to have it spill straight through his fingers. It was less costly than Azhar's miss, although Warner still added almost 50 more runs from that point. Straight after Amir's blunder, the TV cameras cut to Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur and fielding mentor Steve Rixon. Heads were in hands, faces were long, and no words were being spoken. The fifth and final ODI of the series between Pa...
