An acrobatic catch from Mushfiqur Rahim sent Kusal Perera packing in the ICC World Cup 2023 fixture between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Kusal Perera could have shouldered arms to the good length ball outside off-stump but he chose to go for an expansive shot over covers, only managing a thick edge. Mushfiqur exhibited good footwork as he moved to his left and leapt like a goalkeeper to grab a one-handed stunner.
Thus, Shoriful Islam drew fist blood after Bangladesh inserted Sri Lanka. It looks like a good batting surface.
