Mendis & Fernando Put on a Show: Sri Lanka's Record-Breaking 324

Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis blasted a superb 143 and Fernando added a century of his own, leading the team to a record-breaking 324 against Bangladesh. The two batsmen absolutely smashed the bowling attack, setting a new benchmark for Sri Lanka in their ODI history.

It was a day for the ages at the R. Premadasa Stadium. The crowd was buzzing as Mendis and Fernando took the game by the scruff of the neck. Mendis, known for his aggressive batting, went on a rampage, smashing 16 fours and 4 sixes in his 143-run knock. Fernando, usually a more measured batsman, joined the party, scoring 100 runs off just 100 balls.

The duo's partnership was a sight to behold. They didn't just score runs; they made it look effortless. Every shot seemed to find a gap in the field, and the bowlers were left helpless. By the time the two were finally separated, Sri Lanka had a score that looked unbeatable.

The Bangladesh bowlers, to be honest, had a day they'd rather forget. They were simply outplayed. Mendis and Fernando were relentless, and there seemed to be no answer to their onslaught. It was a masterclass in batting, leaving the Bangladesh bowlers bruised and battered.

The win sets Sri Lanka up perfectly for the rest of the series. They'll be looking to build on this momentum and carry the good form into the next match. This match was a statement, a reminder that Sri Lanka can be a formidable force in ODI cricket when their top order clicks.
