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.

Shoaib Akhtar injures Ganguly with a bouncer

Shoaib Akhtar once injured the Indian opening batsman and captain Sourav Ganguly with the ball. Shoaib was always very expressive with his pace. He used to hit the ball hard on the pitch and generate bounce with pace. This used to make him really difficult to play. This game was played between Pakistan and India on an Indian ground. Shoaib hit the ball in the ribcage of Sourav Ganguly and made him lie flat on the wicket. Ganguly was taken out of the ground and into the hospital. Later it was revealed that he got a few ribs broken and he remained out of international cricket for some time. This was a pretty dangerous ball from Shoaib. On a flat wicket he was able to make the ball bounce up. The ball went straight towards the body of the batter. Ganguly was never good in playing short balls which used to come in towards his body. He missed this one and Shoaib was able to hit the rubs of Ganguly. The ball made a devastating impact. Ganguly fell down and was in severe pain. He was transfer
