Mahmudullah’s last-minute heroics guide Bangladesh to victory over Sri Lanka

By Redoy K

Bangladesh pulled off a last-minute two-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in their T20 World Cup Group D match in Grand Prairie, Texas. Chasing 125, Bangladesh were reeling at 28/3 before Towhid Hridoy’s 40 off 20 balls provided a lifeline. Despite a middle-order collapse, experienced Mahmudullah’s calm 16 not out guided Bangladesh home with an over to spare. For Sri Lanka, Nuwan Thushara was the pick of the bowlers with 4/18. AFP
