Sri Lanka won the three-match T20 series 2-1.
Sri Lanka defeated Bangladesh in the third T20 match played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on 9 March. In this match, all the players from Sri Lanka performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team. With this, Sri Lanka won the three-match T20 series by 2-1.
However, during the match, Bangladesh wicketkeeper Liton Das brilliantly ran out Sri Lanka’s best player Dasun Shanaka. Liton Das’s way of running out was very similar to that of former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Let us tell you, former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has run out the opposing team’s batsmen many times in his international cricket career without even looking at the stumps.
Dasun Shanaka played a very good shot on the last ball of the 20th over of Sri Lanka’s innings and he ran to take the run. He took the first run quite easily after which Shanaka ran to take the second run. The fielder caught the ball but his throw was not on the stumps. Liton Das had to catch the ball far away from the stumps. However, as soon as he caught the ball, without looking, Liton Das threw the ball towards the stumps. This ball went straight to the stumps and Dasun Shanaka was run out.
Many people praised this no-look runout of Liton Das. Former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has run out many players without seeing many times in his international cricket career.
