NEW DELHI : Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first player in international cricket to be 'timed out' in Monday's World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
In a major moment at the Cricket World Cup 2023, Sri Lanka star Angelo Mathews was ruled 'timed out' during his team's crucial clash against Bangladesh in Delhi on Monday. The incident happened on the second ball of the 25th over, bowled by Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan. Sadeera Samarawickrama had just been dismissed and Angelo Mathews arrived at the crease at the fall of the fourth wicket. But soon there was confusion as Mathews realised that he had brought the wrong helmet and pleaded his case with the Bangladesh players and the umpires.
Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews was dismissed in a bizarre manner, having failed to make it to the pitch on time in the World Cup match against Bangladesh. According to the timed-out rule, the batter has to make the pitch within 3 minutes (2 minutes in World Cups) of the dismissal of the previous player and be ready to face the next delivery. While Mathews had entered the ground, he encountered some issues with his helmet, which required him to call for a replacement. In the process, the maximum allowed time had already passed.

Cricket World Cup clash goes ahead in pollution-hit Delhi
NEW DELHI : Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and elected to field in their World Cup match against Sri Lanka, which got underway on Monday amid concerns about poor air quality in New Delhi.
After talismanic batter Virat Kohli reached a new highest on Sunday after he equalled legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries, Australia great Ricky Ponting lavished praise on former India captain and predicted even bigger things to come for right-hander at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. With a stunning century against South Africa on his 35th birthday, Kohli equalled Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds, and the swashbuckling batter has amassed a total of 543 runs in the ongoing tournament at an average of 108.60.
The Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has been in jeopardy due to severe air pollution in Delhi. A thick layer of toxic haze had enveloped the national capital for a few days, forcing the two teams to cancel their training sesions at least once as the Air Quality Index (AQI) remained in the severe category. The International Cricket Council (ICC) had waited till the matchday to confirm whether the contest will go ahead. The global cricketing body, ahead of the match, decided to let the game happen as scheduled.
