Sri Lanka's team members celebrate their win in the first ODI cricket match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI: Asalanka Ton, BAN Collapse Trigger Big SL Win
Sri Lanka forced a spectacular Bangladesh collapse by taking seven wickets for five runs after captain Charith Asalanka’s century to win the one-day international series opener by 77 runs Wednesday (July 2, 2025). Asalanka, whose knock of 106 included four sixes, had won the toss and elected to bat first. His team was bowled out for 244 runs with four deliveries remaining in the final over at R. Premadasa Stadium. Bangladesh were cruising at 100-1 in the 17th over when Milan Rathnayake’s classy piece of fielding to run out Najmul Hossain Shanto on 23 shifted the momentum. That fielding effort ended a 71-run partnership for the second wicket between Shanto and Tanzid Hasan that led eventually to Bangladesh being dismissed for 167 runs in the 36th over.
