Asia Cup 2022: "We qualified for Dubai airport"- Fans rip Bangladesh apart after losing to Sri Lanka

Bangladesh's problems in white-ball cricket continued as they crashed out of the Asia Cup 2022 after losing to Sri Lanka on Thursday, September 1. Shakib Al Hasan and Co. couldn't defend a competitive target of 183 as the Lankans got home in thrilling fashion with two wickets in hand.There has been a lot of backstory to this growing rivalry between the two Asian nations. Bangladesh's infamous 'Naagin dance' during the Nidahas Trophy in 2018 was what started a rather bitter rivalry between the two teams.It took four long years for Sri Lanka to finally avenge that defeat and the celebrations in their camp were enough to suggest how badly they wanted this win. Mind games were being played going into the game with some controversial statements from both camps, but it was Dasun Shanaka and his boys who emerged victorious.Fans on Twitter trolled Bangladesh for making a habit of premature celebrations and ending up paying the price for it. Here are some of the reactions:Abhishek Ojha@vicharabhioOnly 15 players have gone on to play 100 or more matches in the history of T20Is.𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗥 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺:115.03 - Mushfiqur Rahim 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘃𝗴 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺:19.48 - Mushfiqur Rahim3Only 15 players have gone on to play 100 or more matches in the history of T20Is.𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗥 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺:115.03 - Mushfiqur Rahim 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘃𝗴 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺:19.48 - Mushfiqur Rahim🙏Ayush™ 🇮🇳🚩@vkkings007Bangladesh team right now 51Bangladesh team right now 🐍🐍 https://t.co/V4LOwyyuMBBibhu@Bibhu224Athar Ali Khan nd Bangladesh fans right now:-#AsiaCupT20113Athar Ali Khan nd Bangladesh fans right now:-#AsiaCupT20 https://t.co/mM1rQpKJ9sAbhishek@abhishekr2502Naagin dance miss ho gaya yaar.

Dangerman Bhanuka Rajapaksa also departed, leaving the Lankans in a precarious position of 77/4.With the momentum of the game firmly in Bangladesh's favor, Kusal Mendis changed gears and brought his team back into the chase. He received great support from captain Shanaka. But Shakib and Co. kept picking up wickets and following Shanaka's dismissal, it looked like the end of the road for Sri Lanka.That was when Chamika Karunaratne (16 off 10) and Asitha Fernando (10* off three) played key cameos to take Sri Lanka home with four balls to spare. While the Lankans moved to the Super 4 stage, the Tigers were eliminated from the Asia Cup.The Bangladesh bowlers had only themselves to blame as they bowled four no balls and eight wides. This proved to be the difference between the two sides as the Sri Lankan bowlers were more disciplined.Stay tuned for the latest Asia Cup 2022 live score and news updates on Sportskeeda.
