The Bangladesh men’s cricket team concluded their 2026 Asian Games campaign by securing fourth place after losing the bronze medal match to Sri Lanka. In the third-place playoff held at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, Sri Lanka defeated Bangladesh by 63 runs. After electing to bat first, Sri Lanka recovered from an early slump of 21/4, driven by Tharindu Ratnayake’s 65 runs off 32 ~~balls~~ balls—which included seven fours and five sixes—and a 93-run sixth-wicket partnership with captain Sahan ~~Arachchige.~~ Arachchige, who contributed 33. This allowed Sri Lanka to post a total of 165/9. Bangladesh’s pursuit of the bronze medal faltered as the top three batters—Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, and captain Litton Das—were all dismissed for ducks. The team was bowled out for 102 in 17.3 overs, with Nasum Ahmed providing the highest individual score of 26 runs. Sri Lanka’s bowling effort was shared among Nuwan Thushara, Tharindu Ratnayake, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Wanuja Sahan, who each took two wickets. Following the defeat, Bangladesh head coach Mohammad Salahuddin expressed significant disappointment, stating, “We are ashamed in front of the people of the country. As a coach, I also think we have failed.”
