Overview

• Bangladesh chased 169 to win by four wickets in 19.5 overs in Dubai, led by fifties from Saif Hassan (61) and Towhid Hridoy (58).
• The result puts Bangladesh atop the Super Fours on two points after the first match.
• Final-over tension followed Hridoy’s late dismissal, as Dasun Shanaka struck twice before Nasum Ahmed secured the winning single.
• Shanaka earlier hit 64 not out with six sixes, equalling Sanath Jayasuriya’s Sri Lanka record for most sixes in an Asia Cup match, as Sri Lanka posted 168/7.
• Mustafizur Rahman’s 3/20 checked Sri Lanka’s innings, and Sri Lanka observed a minute’s silence and wore black armbands as Dunith Wellalage returned following his father’s death.
