Pathum Nissanka’s impressive half-century, complemented by Kamil Mishara’s unbeaten innings, propelled Sri Lanka to a convincing six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their Asia Cup Group B encounter. Sri Lanka chased down the target of 140 with ease, thanks to a dominant second-wicket partnership of 95 runs between Nissanka and Mishara. Earlier, Sri Lanka’s seamers restricted Bangladesh to 139/5.
