 "Sri Lanka crush Bangladesh by six wickets to record commanding win in Asia Cup 2025")
Preview: Group 1 of the super 12 stage at the T20 World Cup was always a tense group with multiple equally talented teams pooled together. The group became more rigorous with Sri Lanka’s qualification to that group. In spite of the strong teams pooled together, England and Australia were considered to be favourites to qualify from the group. However, after a couple of matches in the super 12 stage and with Australia’s and England’s defeats to New Zealand and Ireland, the group is wide open for assumptions. And hence, the situation after each team having played two games is that this match proves to be of utmost importance in their individual chances of qualification. A match that was expected to decide the number one and two sides from the group, might now prove to be an eliminator as the loser’s semi-final hopes will be severely dented.

Oh no! It has started to rain again in Melbourne. It’s highly possible that the game would be called off. We are still to get official words on this though

“The rain is starting to come little bit stronger right now. It’s got to stop raining for a little bit of time as well because the ground is very damp and quite moist under foot. Everyone’s got their fingers crossed. Right now, it’s looking doom and gloom,” says Shane Watson.
