The rivalry between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in cricket has been heating up lately. When they faced off on Monday, things got intense as Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Kusal Mendis had a heated exchange on the field.
In this match, Bangladesh chose to bowl first, and Sri Lanka didn’t start well, losing Kusal Perera early. But Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis managed to stabilize the Sri Lankan innings. While they were batting, Mendis and Tanzim got into a verbal spat.
During the 11th over, Tanzim bowled a good delivery, and Mendis missed it. Tanzim got a bit aggressive and argued with Mendis. The umpire had to step in to calm things down. On the next delivery, Tanzim bowled again, and Mendis edged the ball, but it went wide of the wicket-keeper and reached the boundary. Tanzim continued to exchange words with Mendis.
