Angelo Mathews became the first international cricketer to be \u2018timed out\u2019 in 146 years<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan triggered a debate on the spirit of cricket before smashing a rapid 82 in their three-wicket victory against 1996 champions Sri Lanka, who were eliminated from the 50-overs World Cup on Monday.<\/p>\n
The all-rounder collaborated in a 169-run stand with Najmul Hossain Shanto (90) to help Bangladesh chase down a 280-run victory target in 41.1 overs.<\/p>\n
Charith Asalanka\u2019s 108 underpinned Sri Lanka\u2019s 279 all out after they were put into bat by Shakib, who was in the eye of a storm on an eventful day.<\/p>\n
It was Shakib\u2019s appeal that led to Sri Lanka\u2019s Angelo Mathews becoming the first player to be \u2018timed out\u2019 in an international match.<\/p>\n

Put into bat, Sri Lanka lost Kusal Perera in the first over when Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiquir Rahim flew to his left to grab a one-handed blinder in front of the first slip.<\/p>\n
Pathum Nissanka (41) and Sadeera Samarawickrama (41) could not convert the starts but Asalanka smashed five sixes and six fours in his second ODI century to help Sri Lanka post a competitive total.<\/p>\n
Nearly 20,000 spectators witnessed drama at the halfway stage of the Sri Lankan innings when Mathews walked out to bat after Samarawickrama\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n
After the chinstrap of his helmet broke, Mathews waited for a new helmet to arrive before facing Shakib, but was adjudged \u2018timed out\u2019 after failing to take strike within the stipulated two minutes.<\/p>\n

Shanto and Shakib lead Bangledesh to victory in their run chase<\/p>\n
Bangladesh lost both openers inside seven overs but Shakib and Shanto put their chase back on track.<\/p>\n
Mathews denied Shakib a hundred, and tapped his wrist in a send-off as if to tell the Bangladesh captain it was his time to go. <\/p>\n
Shanto missed out on a hundred too but Sri Lanka still succumbed to their sixth defeat in eight matches.<\/p>\n
Following the team\u2019s poor performance in the tournament, the entire Sri Lankan board was sacked and replaced with an interim committee earlier on Monday.<\/p>\n
