Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha called for a change to cricket's timed-out law, saying it should be a matter for the umpires only, as debate rumbled on about Shakib Al Hasan's role in a controversial dismissal of Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews. Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in a World Cup group-stage game in Delhi on Monday. However, the result was overshadowed by Mathews becoming the first player in the 146-year history of major international cricket to be timed out following an appeal by Shakib, which the Tigers captain refused to withdraw.

Australia is set to face Bangladesh in match No. 43 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Saturday, November 11. The match will be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune. While the two teams take each other on the playing field, the fantasy cricket managers have a chance to pick their favourite players and form their teams. The performance of the players on the field will translate to points for each fantasy team picked. Bangladesh have struggled to make their presence felt in the tournament. With only two victories in eight matches, they were the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 qualification is on the line for the Tigers, who are currently in the bottom three.
The Angelo Mathews 'timed out' controversy remains one of the most discussed incidents from the Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews was dismissed without facing a single ball in the match against Bangladesh after failing to 'be ready' to face the bowler in the stipulated time of 2 minutes. Though Mathews claims that it was the helmet malfunction that prevented him from being ready to face the bowler, veteran Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik feels that the all-rounder could've faced a delivery before asking for a replacement helmet.
Australia's spin bowling coach Daniel Vettori feels Adam Zampa's remarkable control over his length has complemented his other sublime skills, making him almost unplayable in the World Cup. Among spinners, Zampa is leading the wicket-taker's list in the tournament with 20 scalps from eight games at an average of 19.20. With his team in the semifinals, he could end up as the highest wicket-taker in the ODI showpiece.
