A defeat of sorrow that makes crying

Bangladesh lost
The 17th February 2014, the sky was changing as repeatedly, the first Shahara Cup 2014 ODI match between Bangladesh and Srli Lanka was changed as. At least its' colour become 'Blue', the sign of sorrow.

Here another similarity of blue, the jersey colour of the Sri Lanka cricket team is blue, and the whole dressing room of Bangladesh cricket team was covered with blue, which means sorrow. After two T20 matches this story becomes as 'near to be far'.

It was a query mark whether the match was started or not due to rain. Since last day afternoon the rain was parted from the afternoon and the sky become sunny. Though it ate nearly 2 hours from the schedule time of the match.

It was a tremendous similarity between the weather and the match.  Sun out after a rain and become sunny. The Bangladesh cricket team signed firstly and in the end was covered with cloud their all signs.

In 22nd over Sri Lanka scored 67 by 8 wickets. It was seemed the length of the match was going to be short as the match was reduced to 43 overs from 50 overs due to rain. Thisara could bat but how much he will be able to lengthen? Wao! he turned it into 80, his highest ODI score after 69, which he made against South Africa about two years ago with a storming innings from 44 balls. Yesterday he made 80 also with a storming innings, he made it from 57 balls with 6 sixes and 4 fours. But there was a credit of Bangladeshi fielders! They missed lots of catches in the match. Thisara got three lives! Senanayeke provided with Thisara. He scored also 30 runs. At least Sri Lanka scored 180 lost by all wickets.

It was so easy for Bangladesh to win when Samsur Rahman scored 50 beside his name and the score was 100 for Bangladesh. 82 runs needed from 157 balls! Looked easy! Though Anamul Bijoy was lost in the second ball of the innings. But went to wrong when Samsur dismissed with a run out. And then the middle order collapsed! Score become 161 by 8 wickets! Still there was a sign when Musfikur Rahim on the pitch. The Sign was going out when Musfikur was trying to hit a scoop shot and Sangakara didn't miss to take the catch. 19 runs were needed when two tellanders Rubel and Al-Amin was on the pitch. But the match was ended with a run out of Rubel and Bangladesh was defeated by another dramatic instance. Sri Lanka won by 13 runs.
