Charith Asalanka’s Sri Lankan side began their campaign in style with a big win over Bangladesh. They bowled well to keep Bangladesh down to 139/5 in Abu Dhabi. In reply, the Lankan batters chased the target easily in just 14.4 overs with six wickets in hand. Pathum Nissanka scored a quick 50 from 34 balls, while Kamil Mishara stayed unbeaten with 46 off 32. Wanindu Hasaranga was the standout bowler, taking 2 wickets for 25 runs in his four overs.

Their chances of staying in the tournament now look slim. To challenge Sri Lanka, they will need a top performance. Babar Hayat will be their key batter, while Ayush Shukla has also been one of their better performers with the bat so far.
