Asia Cup: Nissanka, Mishara Power Sri Lanka To Dominant Win Over Bangladesh
Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: Sri Lanka kicked off their Asia Cup 2025 campaign in emphatic style, outclassing Bangladesh by six wickets in their Group B clash at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Saturday. Pathum Nissanka’s composed half-century and Kamil Mishara’s unbeaten 46 ensured the Islanders chased down 140 with 32 balls to spare, underlining their dominance with both bat and ball.
Chasing what looked like a tricky total on a sluggish surface, Sri Lanka lost Kusal Mendis early, but Nissanka and Mishara soon took charge of the innings. Nissanka was at his elegant best, working the gaps with precision and punishing the loose deliveries to bring up a well-constructed fifty.
Mishara, meanwhile, continued his breakout run in international cricket. The 23-year-old left-hander has now seen Sri Lanka home in back-to-back T20Is without losing his wicket, and his calm 46* was once again a perfect foil to Nissanka’s strokeplay.
