2018 Asia Cup: Three things you might have missed in Bangladesh's innings against Sri Lanka

Dropped catches help Bangladesh

Sri Lankan fielders drop as many as three catches in

the Bangladesh

innings

Without a doubt, the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled really well at the start to restrict Bangladesh. But, the Bangladesh score could have been much lesser had the Sri Lankan fielders supported the good work done by the bowlers as there were as many as three dropped catches in the Bangladesh innings.

First, skipper Angelo Mathews dropped Mithun at mid-on in the fourth over of the innings when the batsman was batting on 1 and he went on to score 63. Five overs later, Mushfiqur, who was batting on 10, was dropped by Dilruwan Perera at square-leg before he got another reprieve in the 37th over when he was batting on 85 as the bowler Dhananjaya de Silva dropped a sitter off his own bowler.

Mushfiqur made the Lankans pay as he went on to score 144, his highest ODI score, and helped his team score 261.
