A Sri Lankan cricketer charged with sexually assaulting a woman in Australia remained in jail Monday after a court declined his bid for bail. Danushka Gunathilaka was arrested early Sunday at his Sydney hotel and was charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent. The 31-year-old had traveled to Australia as part of Sri Lanka’s T20 World Cup team. Under Australian court rules, not all details of the case can be reported.

But the cricketer's application for release was later refused by the court. Outside the court, defense lawyer Ananda Amaranath said the decision was disappointing and his client was considering appealing to the New South Wales state Supreme Court. Gunathilaka's bail application was made in a closed court, after the police prosecutor lodged an application to prevent publication of the facts of the case and the indictment against the 31-year-old. The motion to suppress was opposed by Amaranath and Stephen Coombs, the senior legal counsel for Nationwide News. The pair made similar arguments — that the victim’s name was already prevented from being made public, and further suppression orders were contrary to open justice.

That order will be reconsidered on Wednesday. The cricketer had spent a night in custody at the Surry Hills Police Station before appearing in handcuffs and a grey T-shirt via video link at the court. “Yes sir,” he told the court when asked if his video link was working. Gunathilaka travelled to Australia with Sri Lanka’s T20 World Cup team but only played in the team’s first game, a loss against Namibia, before being ruled out of the competition with a hamstring tear. The cricketer had been holding up well considering the circumstances, his lawyer told media outside the court. “He has the full support of the Sri Lankan High Commissioner and the Sri Lankan Cricket Board. So he is okay,” Amaranath said. The left-handed batsman has played nearly 100 T20 and one-day internationals for Sri Lanka and eight test matches. Sri Lanka lost its final group match to England on Saturday in the T20 World Cup and the rest of the team — minus Gunathilaka — left for home on Sunday. In a statement Sunday, Sri Lanka Cricket said it had been notified of the charges, would monitor court proceedings closely and, in consultation with the International Cricket Council, would “expeditiously initiate a thorough inquiry into the matter and take stern action against the player if found guilty.”

Suryakumar Yadav smashed a 23-ball half-century as India topped Group 2 with a 71-run win over Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup on Sunday. Yadav scored 61 not out off 25 balls as India finished with 186-5 in 20 overs. In reply, Zimbabwe were bowled out for 115 in 17.2 overs, with Ravichandran Ashwin returning figures of 3-22. Hardik Pandya (2-16) and Mohammed Shami (2-14) shared four wickets. With the Super 12s completed, India finished as Group 2 winners to set up a semifinal clash with England in Adelaide on Thursday. Earlier on Sunday, South Africa crashed out of the tournament following a stunning loss to the Netherlands in Adelaide, allowing Pakistan to slip into the semifinals. Pakistan beat Bangladesh by five wickets, also at the Adelaide Oval. New Zealand will take on Pakistan in the first semifinal in Sydney on Wednesday. At the MCG, India had won the toss and opted to bat first. Rohit Sharma's poor run of form continued and he was out for 15. Lokesh Rahul scored a second consecutive half-century as he and Virat Kohli (26) put on 60 off 48 balls for the second wicket. Rahul scored 51 off 35 balls, including three fours and three sixes. India then lost their way in the middle overs, losing three wickets for 14 runs. Rahul, Kohli and Rishabh Pant (3) were all dismissed in the space of 10 deliveries, as India reached 101-4 in 13.3 overs. Read: ‘This has been Bangladesh’s best T20 World Cup performance’: Shakib Yadav then took centre stage as he smacked India's fourth quickest half-century in T20s. He hit six fours and four sixes to accelerate the scoring. He put on 65 runs off 35 balls with Hardik Pandya (18) for the fifth wicket. India scored 59 runs in the last four overs. Yadav was named player of the match for his scintillating knock. In reply, Zimbabwe struggled to get going against India's pacers. They were reduced to 36-5 in 7.3 overs. Wesley Madhevere and Regis Chakabva were out for ducks while Craig Ervine and Sean Williams only managed to score 13 and 11, respectively. Sikandar Raza put up some resistance with 34 off 24 balls before he was out caught off Pandya. Ryan Burl hit five fours and a six to score 35 off 22 balls. Ashwin then struck late to pick up three wickets in 10 balls to help finish off the match. New Zealand and England qualified as the top two sides in Group 1. The final is scheduled for November 13 at the MCG.

Shakib Al Hasan has blamed the batting failure for the defeat against Pakistan in today’s match that ended Bangladesh’s journey in the T20 World Cup 2022. However, the Bangladesh captain believes this was his side's best T20 World Cup performance . Read more: T20 World Cup: Bangladesh end campaign with another dismal batting display "At the halfway stage, we were 70 for 1." "We wanted to get somewhere around 145-150; that would have been a reasonable total on that pitch," the Bangladesh captain said after the match. "We could have done better." But having said that, with the new guys coming in and the changes, this is the best we could expect. On my own performance – I could have done better. "As long as I’m fit and performing, I would love to play," Shakib added. Read more: T20 World Cup: Was the LBW call against Shakib correct? He also added that it was Bangladesh’s best T20 World Cup performance so far, with the wins against the Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Before this, Bangladesh had never won two matches in the main draw of the T20 World Cups.

Bangladesh ended another T20 World Cup campaign with little to cheer about. They showed another dismal batting display in their last Super 12 match against Pakistan and lost by a big margin of five wickets on Sunday in Adelaide. While Bangladesh ended the World Cup with only two wins, Pakistan marched to the semifinals as the second team after India from Group 2. Pakistan had to chase down a target of 128 and they did it with ease. They have lost some important wickets occasionally, but that did not harm their chase. Mohammad Rizwan led the charge by scoring 32, while Mohammad Haris posted 31. Nasum Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, and Ebadot Hossain each bagged a wicket for Bangladesh. Read More: ‘This has been Bangladesh’s best T20 World Cup performance’: Shakib Opting to bat first, Bangladesh posted a moderately below-par total of 127 for 8 wickets, with Najmul Hossain Shanto registering a slow 54 off 48 balls. Shanto and Liton Das opened the innings for the Tigers in this match, and Liton hit an early six, showing the Tigers' positive intent in batting. But he lost his wicket to Shaheen Afridi inside the powerplay for 10 off eight balls. It was a short ball from Shaheen, and Liton tried to pull it off but ended up giving a regulation catch to Shan Masood. Bangladesh didn't lose any more wickets in the first 10 overs, but in the 11th over, they suffered a double blow when Soumya Sarkar fell while playing a reverse sweep off Shadab Khan. Off the next ball, Shakib suffered a controversial lbw. TV replays showed the ball was touching Shakib's bat before hitting his pads, and the bat was not grounded either. But the umpire called him out. Shakib left the field in utter disbelief with a golden duck that put Bangladesh into further trouble. Read More: BAN vs PAK T20 World Cup: Did the umpire make a wrong call on Shakib’s LBW? Mosaddek Hossain made only five off 11 balls, and Nurul Hasan Sohan also suffered a three-ball duck. Their dismissals made it tough for Bangladesh to go for a big total. But Afif Hossain was unbeaten for 24* off 20 balls. He helped Bangladesh pass the 100-run mark in this match. Eventually, Bangladesh ended up on 127 for eight. For Pakistan, Shaheen bagged four wickets, conceding 22 runs, while Shadab bagged two. This match came as a great chance for both Bangladesh and Pakistan to qualify for the semifinals. Pakistan made use of it with both hands, but Bangladesh failed in every way. They failed to bat well, they failed to field well, and they failed to bowl well too. Read More: Netherlands defeat South Africa, turning BD v PAK into virtual quarter-final Throughout the event, Bangladeshi batters performed miserably in the middle. Their last Super 12s match of the T20 World Cup against Pakistan was no different. If the batters could have done better, Bangladesh might have ended the World Cup with a better outcome. In contrast, Pakistan made a brilliant comeback in the last two matches after a poor start and advanced to the semifinals by overcoming Bangladesh by five wickets in Adelaide.

Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan was given LBW by the TV umpire against Pakistan in today's T20 World Cup match. Shakib just got to the field after the dismissal of Soumya Sarkar and failed to do anything due to a heavily controversial decision that created some chaos on social media as well.  The delivery of Shadab Khan was straight to the stumps and hit the pads of Shakib as well, but not before touching his bat as the TV replays suggested.  Bangladesh were off to a good start when the incident occurred. Liton Das fell early to Shaheen Afridi. But Soumya and Najmul Hossain Shanto were steady in the middle and were trying to build on.  Read More: ‘This has been Bangladesh’s best T20 World Cup performance’: Shakib But losing two wickets off two consecutive deliveries put Bangladesh in deep trouble.  According to TV replays, the ball hit Shakib’s pad after it touched his bat, and the bat was not grounded either -- there was no indication that the signal of the snickometer was generated from the sound of the bat touching the ground.  It means the signal of the snickometer was actually generated from the sound of the ball touching Shakib’s bat. So in this scenario, the call of LBW against Shakib was not a correct one from the TV umpire.  “Shakib’s bat didn’t touch the ground at all. Just focus on bat’s shadow. There was a spike,” Akash Chopra, the former Indian cricketer and cricket analyst, tweeted. “It couldn’t have been anything else except the ball hitting the bat. Bangladesh at the receiving end of a poor umpiring decision.” Brad Hogg, the former Australian cricketer and TV presenter, also cast some doubts over this decision.  “The tournament has been shadowed by a few dubious decisions,” he wrote on his Twitter. “Thoughts, did the bat hit the ground or ball?” Read More: T20 World Cup: Bangladesh end campaign with another dismal batting display Ariful Islam Roney, a Bangladeshi journalist who is covering this match from the ground, also opined that it was a big mistake from the umpire.  “The gap was clear between the bat of Shakib and the ground,” Roney wrote on his Facebook. “TV replays from all angles made it clear. The ball actually hit Shakib’s bat. Did the umpire make a mistake? Certainly.” Bangladesh eventually ended up their innings on 127 for eight in 20 overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 54 off 48 balls — the highest for Bangladesh. Shaheen Afridi bagged four wickets while Shadan Khan scalped two. 

Bangladesh failed to post a challenging total on the board in their last Super 12 Round match in the T20 World Cup 2022 against Pakistan in Adelaide on Sunday.
