UNB, Dhaka
Hosts Bangladesh clinched the most coveted and maiden gold medal in the newly introduced South Asian Games cricket by beating Sri Lanka by six runs in an exciting final at the floodlit Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka's Mirpur on Sunday.
With the winning of the precious gold in the T20 Cricket, denying their world giant sub-continental rivals, Bangladesh's gold tally rises to a record 14 since the inception of the SA Games in 1984 in Kathmandu.
A generous bounty of Tk 15 lakh each now awaits the cricket champions from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as announced in advance.
