Citing favourable conditions, Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews decided to bat after winning the toss against Bangladesh at the MCG. The day began with Bangladesh's slippery fielding, and that remained the feature of their effort with both Thirimanne and Sanga (who has registered his fastest hundred, in his 400th ODI) getting plenty of lives. Ground fielding and backing up was horrendous too. Batsmen the quality of Dilshan and Sanga won't let such sloppiness go unpunished. There is a huge target for Bangladesh now.
This SL innings might just hold the record for 300 with fewest sixes. Dilshan's score might well be the highest individual score without a six.
