'It Was Unexpected': Taskin Ahmed On Bangladesh's Worst Batting Collapse Against SL
Taskin Ahmed: Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed described the team’s collapse in the first ODI against Sri Lanka as both “painful and unexpected" after conceding a 77-run defeat as spin duo Wanindu Hasaranga and Kamindu Mendis combined for seven wickets in the match.
Chasing a modest target of 245 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday, Bangladesh seemed well in control at 100 for 1 in the 17th over. However, a dramatic and historic meltdown followed, as they crashed to 107 for 8 - losing seven wickets for just five runs, marking the worst such collapse in men’s ODI history.
The previous record for such a collapse was held by the USA, who lost seven wickets for eight runs against Nepal in 2020, falling from 23 for 1 to 31 for 8 before being bowled out for 35.
