Mid-Wicket
Sri Lanka began their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 campaign with a hard-fought win against Bangladesh in Sharjah.
Attacking fifties by Charith Asalanka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa helped Sri Lanka chase down a stiff target of 172 with five wickets and seven balls to spare.
The duo struck eight sixes between them, using the shorter boundary at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium cleverly to recover from a mid-innings wobble and give their side two crucial points in Group 1.
