Hridoy departs after scoring 82
Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy's 82-run knock came to an unlucky end when he was adjudged lbw off the bowling of Maheesh Theekshana in the 44th over leaving the Tigers on the verge of consecutive defeats against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Asia Cup.
Hridoy was hit on the pads by off-spinner Theekshana and upon appeal by the bowling side, the umpire raised his finger signaling out despite the middle, and off stump being visible. Hridoy reviewed the decision but the ball was seen as clipping the stumps and the had to take the long walk back as the decision stayed with the on-field umpire's call.
The 24-year-old's dismissal knocked the wind out of the Bangladesh's sail as it removed the last recognised batter for Bangladesh leaving them at seven down for 197 in the 44th over.
