Angelo Mathews' Unfortunate 'Timed Out' Exit Sparks Controversy in Bangladesh's Victory Over Sri Lanka


 



In a dramatic turn of events during a heated World Cup clash, Sri Lankan batsman Angelo Mathews found himself in the history books as the first player ever to be given a "timed out" dismissal in the 146-year span of international cricket. Despite Bangladesh's triumphant chase of 280, the spotlight shifted to Mathews' controversial exit, sparking tension on the field.

The dismissal unfolded when Mathews, attempting to secure his helmet strap after coming in to bat, exceeded the stipulated two-minute time frame for taking strike. This led to a contentious appeal by Bangladesh's captain, Shakib Al Hasan, and a subsequent upholdment of the decision after on-field discussions.

The aftermath saw a visibly frustrated Mathews leaving the field reluctantly, surrounded by a buzz of disapproval from spectators. The tense atmosphere escalated as verbal exchanges erupted between Najmul Hasan Shanto and Sri Lanka's Sadeera Samarawickrama, requiring umpire intervention to maintain order.

Sri Lankan players further contested the turn of events by demanding a ball change, adding another layer of drama to the unfolding spectacle. The entire incident left both players and fans bewildered, with veteran cricketer Charith Asalanka expressing his discontent, stating, "Mathews' dismissal was not good for the spirit of cricket."

As Bangladesh celebrated their victory, the cricketing world was left to reflect on this unprecedented event, with former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn voicing his disapproval on social media, saying, "Well, that wasn't cool." Ultimately, Shakib Al Hasan was named the man of the match, but the historic dismissal of Angelo Mathews will undoubtedly be remembered as a controversial moment that added a unique chapter to the sport's long and storied history.
