Asia Cup 2025: Sri Lanka flatten Bangladesh by six wickets in Abu Dhabi opener

Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by six wickets in the Asia Cup 2025 opener in Abu Dhabi, chasing 140 in 14.4 overs. Two wicket-maidens to start and a disciplined attack left Bangladesh at 0/2 and then 53/5 before an 86-run stand rescued them. Pathum Nissanka hit 50 off 34 and Kamil Mishara made 46* to seal it. Sri Lanka’s net run rate gets a major lift; Bangladesh have work to do.
