Sri Lanka put Bangladesh to the test by setting a target of 125 runs for victory in their Group D clash of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Sri Lanka navigated through a tight bowling spell from Bangladesh. Pathum Nissanka top-scored with a valiant 47 runs, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled to find momentum, resulting in a total of 124 runs on the board after 20 overs.
This sets up a compelling contest for Bangladesh, who are playing their first match in the tournament. Chasing a target of 125 runs will require them to be disciplined and focused in their batting approach.
Both teams will be looking to secure their first win in the group stage. Sri Lanka, having lost their opener to South Africa, will be eager to bounce back, while Bangladesh will be aiming for a strong start to their campaign.
