Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: Dimuth Karunaratne targets winning farewell for Lasith Malinga

The Hindu  

The most fitting farewell for retiring paceman Lasith Malinga will be to win the series-opening limited-overs international against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne said on Thursday. ‘Great ambassador’ Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal said even though Malinga’s achievements and legacy are phenomenal, his line-up will play hard to prevent a Sri Lanka victory in the fast bowler’s last ODI. “Even when we were playing Sri Lanka we used to find who has a similar action like Malinga and we used to call him for nets. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have played in 45 ODIs, with Sri Lanka winning 36 matches against Bangladesh’s seven.
