Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, 15th Match ICC T20 World Cup 2024: The match no. 15 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 lived up to expectations and produced a thrilling contest between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. This match was played at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, and it was a low-scoring thriller. Both teams tried hard and bowled well on this pitch. In the end, Bangladesh sneaked past Sri Lanka and registered a 2-wicket win to get two points on the board.
Meanwhile, it was the second consecutive defeat for Sri Lanka, and now they will have to win their next two games to stay alive in the competition. Sri Lanka batted first and had yet another batting failure. They only managed 124/9 in the first inning, which was never going to be challenging. But still, the Sri Lankan bowlers kept it tight and troubled the Bangladeshi batters. However, Towhid Hridoy played a brilliant cameo of 40 off 20, which shifted the game in Bangladesh's favour. In the end, they reached 125/8 in 18 overs to win the game. There were a few stats and records that were made in this clash, about which we will talk here.
