Bangladesh Women’s Tour of Sri Lanka 2023

Chamari Athapatthu’s half-century and Oshadi Ranasinghe’s fifer script Sri Lanka’s comfortable 58-run victory over Bangladesh women in the rain-shortened second ODI worked off at SSC, Colombo on Thursday.

Star batter Chamari compiled a brilliant 64 runs from just 60 deliveries as Sri Lanka posted a healthy total of 186-5, and Bangladesh never looked likely to reach the target as spinner Oshadi Ranasinghe (5/34) collected career-best figures to ensure the visitors were bowled out for just 128 in 29.5 overs.

After rain forced the match to start 3 hours late, the game was reduced to 30 overs per side. Sri Lanka opted to bat after winning the toss and was off to a decent start with a 50-run partnership for the first wicket between Chamari and Vishmi Gunaratne until the latter fell in the 10th over for 17 runs.

After a positive start, the Lionesses continued their domination when vice-captain Harshitha Samarawickrama joined skipper Chamari in the middle and added another 53-run partnership for the second wicket.

The veteran opener hit 6 boundaries and four massive sixes during her blistering knock of 64 runs to steal the show, as the dynamic left-hander continued her rich vein of form in devastating style.

With Sri Lanka at a decent position at the end of the 15th over, there was a mini middle order collapse when they lost the wickets of Chamari, Nilakshi de Silva (11) and Anushka Sanjeewani (12) to reduce them from 1-100 to 4-146.

With wickets falling at regular intervals, it needed a valiant effort from the highly talented Harshitha Samarawickrama (45*) to revive the Sri Lankan innings to a decent position at the end of the allotted overs.

In reply, Bangladesh were never in the hunt during the chase as they were bundled out for 128 runs. Oshadi Ranasinghe was the architect of the collapse as she ripped through the visitor’s batting lineup to end with figures of 5-34.

Skipper Nigar Sultana was the only batter to impress with a fighting 37 runs off 51 deliveries, while none of the other batters could go past the 30-run mark, the following best being Fargan Hoque with 24.

The victory also saw Sri Lanka take a 1-0 lead in the series 1-0 with one more game to be played on ( ).

Brief scores:

Sri Lanka: 186-5 (30) (Chamari Athapatthu 64, Harshitha Smarawickrama 45*, Sultana Kathun 1-22)

A delegation from the International Cricket Council (ICC), including a senior representative linked to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka this weekend as attention grows over recent changes to the country’s cricket administration.

According to India’s Press Trust of India (PTI), ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja is expected in Colombo on Friday night, with another top ICC official who also serves in a leading capacity within the BCCI due to arrive on Saturday.

The visit comes in the wake of the Sri Lankan government’s decision to appoint an interim committee to manage the affairs of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) following the resignation of its leadership.

Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage confirmed during a televised interview that discussions with ICC representatives are expected to take place in the coming days regarding the future direction of cricket administration in the country.

The newly appointed nine-member interim body was established on April 29 after SLC President Shammi Silva and members of the Executive Committee stepped down from office.
Government officials say the temporary panel will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day cricket operations, introducing administrative reforms, and preparing the groundwork for fresh elections within Sri Lanka Cricket.

The ICC visit is expected to focus on governance issues, the transition process, and the stability of cricket administration during the interim period.

RCB Bring in Gleeson After Thushara Exit; CSK Add Kuldip as Injury Cover

Published

on

By

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have roped in experienced England pacer Richard Gleeson as a replacement for Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara ahead of the IPL 2026 Knockouts.

Thushara was unable to join the Bengaluru franchise after failing to secure a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket. The board reportedly withheld approval because the pacer did not meet the required fitness benchmarks set by the national setup.

RCB have signed Gleeson for INR 1.6 crore. The 38-year-old seamer brings previous IPL experience, having represented both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in recent seasons. Gleeson featured in two matches for Chennai in 2024 and made a single appearance for Mumbai in the 2025 campaign. He has also represented England in nine T20 Internationals.

Thushara, who was bought by RCB for the same amount in 2025, played one game during the franchise’s championship-winning run last season. Despite being retained for IPL 2026, his participation was blocked after the NOC issue emerged.

The Sri Lankan quick had initially taken legal action against the cricket board regarding the matter, but later withdrew the case and issued a written apology. Court documents reportedly indicated that Thushara had considered stepping away from international cricket, although no final decision on his future has yet been confirmed.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have announced Indian pacer Kuldip Yadav as a replacement for injured left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed.

Khaleel’s season was cut short after he suffered a right quadricep injury during Chennai’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. Before the setback, he had claimed two wickets in five appearances while maintaining an economy rate of 8.67.

Kuldip, a right-arm pacer, previously represented Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, making three appearances across the 2021 and 2023 seasons. Chennai have secured his services for INR 30 lakh.
