A war of statements broke out between the two teams before the do or die match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Actually, former Sri Lankan captain Dasun Sanaka had said that Bangladesh are easy prey. They have only two world class bowlers Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman.

At the same time, after this statement of Sanaka, Bangladesh coach Khalid Mohammad replied that we have at least two world class bowlers. There is not a single player in the Sri Lankan team who can even be compared with Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman. In the midst of these statements, former Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene tweeted with enthusiasm in the Sri Lankan team and said that now is the time to show courage.
