Towhid Hridoy hit three consecutive sixes against Wanindu Hasaranga during Bangladesh’s victory over Sri Lanka.

Towhid Hridoy‘s magnificent performance of power-hitting propelled Bangladesh to a dramatic two-wicket victory at the Grand Prairie Stadium in a tense T20 World Cup 2024 match against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh’s decision to bowl first put Sri Lanka’s batting lineup under check. Tight bowling spurts by Rishad Hossain (3/20) and Mustafizur Rahman (3/24) limited Sri Lanka to a modest score of 124/9. The Sri Lankan hitters made only one big contribution, with Pathum Nissanka scoring 47 runs.

Towhid Hridoy stole the stage with a hat-trick of sixes.

Bangladesh’s pursuit of what appeared to be a feasible aim began with caution. However, Towhid Hridoy’s emergence was a watershed moment. In the 11th over, Hridoy unleashed a barrage of power-hitting on Sri Lankan skipper and leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga. He hit three consecutive sixes – a flat pull, a majestic slog-sweep, and a booming drive over long-off – to dramatically turn the tide in Bangladesh’s favor.

Hridoy’s efforts propelled Bangladesh into a dominating position. While he left soon after his six-hitting outburst, the foundation he established enabled Bangladesh to go closer to the goal. Sri Lanka mounted a late comeback, scooping four fast wickets, but veteran batsman Mahmudullah kept his calm and led Bangladesh to a thrilling two-wicket victory.

Hridoy’s performance will be hailed for its bravery and brilliance. This victory offers Bangladesh a crucial lift as they begin their T20 World Cup campaign, but Sri Lanka will need to rebound swiftly before their next game.
