Shanaka’s half-century takes Sri Lanka to 168/7 against Bangladesh in Asia Cup

Dasun Shanaka’s 64 not out pushed Sri Lanka to 168/7 against Bangladesh in their Super 4 match of the Asia Cup here on Saturday.

Openers Pathum Nissanka (22) and Kusal Mendis (34) put on 44 runs in five overs to give Sri Lanka an ideal start but their innings went through a stutter when the likes of Kamil Mishara (5) and Kusal Perera (16) faltered.

Shanaka joined forces with Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka as they added 57 runs for the fifth wicket to revive their innings.
