Series: Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka, 2025 Venue: Galle International Stadium, Galle Date & Time: Jun 17-Jun 21, 10:00 AM LOCAL

Mushfiqur Rahim 163(350)

140.2
W
Asitha Fernando to Mushfiqur, out Lbw!! Mushfiqur has been adjudged lbw and Asitha is pumped up. The batter has a chat with his partner and sends it upstairs. After bowling a lot of outswingers and out-seamers, Asitha gets this full ball to shape back into the right-hander. Mushfiqur falls over as he misses the flick. It has to miss leg for Mushfiqur to survive. UltraEdge confirms no inside edge. Over to ball-tracking and it's umpire's call (clipping leg). The onfield call stays and the 149-run stand has been broken. End of a fine knock from Mushfiqur. Sri Lanka badly needed this wicket. Mushfiqur walks off to a standing ovation. Mushfiqur lbw b Asitha Fernando 163(350) [4s-9]

130.2
Milan Rathnayake to Mushfiqur, leg byes, 3 runs, a celebappeal for LBW, Rathnayake was very confident, but umpire Alex Wharf shakes his head. Was there an inside edge? That looked pretty straight, they've reviewed. Looks like no bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: It's umjpire's call on hitting, clipping the leg-stump and will stay with the on-field call, much to SL's dismay. The nip-backer and Rahim played all around it, struck on the back-thigh, in front of middle and would've been only clipping the stumps. There's confusion in the running, but the fielders were busy with the appeal and didn't notice that the ball was rolling towards third man, they're back for the third

A complete mix-up, both batters were stranded at the striker's end, but the throw goes to the wrong end, Kusal Mendis makes a mess of it, then recovers and breaks the stumps at the striker's end. It's Litton Das who was in trouble, ran all the way one end and then rushed back to the bowler's end, all ends well for the visitors though. Was a flighted delivery outside off and Mushfiqur dabbed it past slip, he started and did his partner, but DDS chased the ball down and Rahim had second thoughts, rushes back to his crease, leaving his partner high and dry, thankfully, no communication between the fielders and he survives

C
Asitha Fernando to Mushfiqur, 1 run, 12th Test century for Mushfiqur Rahim! After his match-winning 191 against Pakistan in Rawalpindi in August 2024, there was a string of low scores. He would have been under pressure coming into this series and walked in to bat this morning with the score reading 45/3. He's played sensibly and superbly alongside his captain to put his team in a commanding position. Good length ball at 126kph, Mushfiqur defends from the crease and gets an inside edge that could have gone onto hit the stumps. Not today and it dies down on the leg-side. The batters go for a quick single, the throw comes to the bowler's end from Kusal Mendis. No direct-hit and Rahim gets to the landmark. Looks heavenwards and removes his helmet with a big smile on his face. He receives a hug from his captain and then Mushfiqur kisses the turf
