Sri Lanka has clear plans for ‘terrible’ Mustafiz
He performed brilliantly while playing IPL. However, due to an injury sustained in IPL, he did not play in the T20 series against Pakistan. Mustafiz is returning to cricket with the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Mustafiz’s record against the team is also quite good. The first match of the series is tomorrow.
Sri Lanka has clear plans for ‘terrible’ Mustafiz
So far, Mustafiz has taken 23 wickets in 14 matches against Sri Lanka in ODIs. His economy is also good, 5.06 per over. Sri Lanka captain Charit Asalanka had to talk about Mustafiz in the press conference before the start of the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka ODI series.
At a press conference in Colombo today, Sri Lankan captain Asalanka said, ‘Mustafiz is a great bowler. He has proven it before. He has taken many wickets for Bangladesh. We have a clear plan for him. We know how dangerous he can be.’
Bangladesh has played 57 matches against Sri Lanka in the ODI format so far, and has won 12. However, Bangladesh have won the last two ODI series against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh, who have never lost a series to Sri Lanka before, won both series 2-1 at home.
Asalanka feels that the tough challenge they will face this time too is the same, ‘Every team is a challenge for us. Bangladesh are a tough opponent, they have also played well in the recent past. The last ODI series we played in Bangladesh also seems to have won Bangladesh. So it will be a tough challenge.’
In 2018, there was an added thrill before the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka match from the Nidahas Trophy. The 2023 ODI World Cup centered on the timed out incident of Angelo Mathews. Which has reached even more excitement. Will there be something like that this time too?
