NEW DELHI :Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews called Bangladesh "disgraceful" and criticised the umpires for lacking in "common sense" after becoming the first player in international cricket to be 'timed out' in Monday's World Cup match between the Asian sides.
NEW DELHI :Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews earned the dubious distinction of being the first ever player in international cricket to be 'timed out' in Monday's World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
NEW DELHI :Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan triggered a debate on the spirit of cricket before smashing a rapid 82 in their three-wicket victory against 1996 champions Sri Lanka, who were eliminated from the 50-overs World Cup on Monday.
Bangladesh ended Sri Lanka's dreams of reaching the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals with a hard-fought three-wicket win in a match filled with controversies on Monday. The win meant that Bangladesh grabbed the seventh spot in the standings while Sri Lanka fell to eighth. While both sides cannot reach the knockout stage in this competition, the fight for a spot in the Champions Trophy 2025 continues. The top 7 teams along with hosts Pakistan will qualify directly for the competition and as a result, both sides remain in contention along with Netherlands (4 points) and England (2 points).
For the next few days, one term that will be spoken about a lot is 'timed out'. Angelo Mathews and Shakib Al Hasan got a permanent place in the cricket history as the duo was involved in one of the rarest dismissals in cricket, that too in a Cricket World Cup match. Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews was given 'timed out' - for the first time in the history of international cricket - with rival captain Shakib Al Hasan appealing for it. The decision left the cricket world divided.
Sri Lanka batsman Angelo Mathews became the first player to be given "timed out" in the 146-year history of international cricket on Monday in a fiery World Cup clash won by Bangladesh. Chasing 280 for victory, Bangladesh rode on a 169-run stand between Najmul Hasan Shanto (90) and skipper Shakib Al Hasan (82) to reach their target with three wickets and 53 balls to spare. The result sealed Sri Lanka's exit from the semi-final race but Mathews' dismissal overshadowed the result after he was adjudged "timed out" for taking longer than the regulation two minutes to take strike when he arrived at the crease to bat.
Timed out - that is one cricket term that went viral on Monday. It all started with Sri Lanka' s Angelo Mathews becoming the first cricketer in international cricket to be timed out with Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan appealing for the dismissal. The incident happened in the 25th over when the 36-year-old walked out to bat after the dismissal of Sadeera Samarawickrama but found that the helmet strap was broken and immediately signalled for a replacement instead of facing the bowler Shakib Al Hasan.
Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be 'timed out' during an international match as dramatic scenes unfolded during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh in New Delhi on Monday. According to the rules at the Cricket World Cup, any new batter needs to reach the crease within two minutes of the dismissal. However, Mathews could not reach the field in time as the strap of his helmet was broken. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan appealed for the dismissal and the umpires had no other option than to give Mathews out. The Sri Lankan cricketer was left fuming at the incident and although he tried his best to state his case, the umpires did not change their decision.
