Asia Cup: Saif, Towhid Help Bangladesh Stun Sri Lanka By Four Wickets In Last-over Thriller
T20 Asia Cup: Saif Hasan and Towhid Hridoy struck superb half-centuries after Musttafizur Rahman and Mahedi Hasan had laid the foundation by claiming five wickets between them as Bangladesh came back strongly to beat Sri Lanka by four wickets in the opening match of the Super 4 stage of the Men's T20 Asia Cup 2025 here on Saturday.
Bangladesh have won only one out of their last 14 chases, but there was no stopping them as Saif Hasan struck 61 off 45 balls and Hridoy slammed 58 off 37 balls as Bangladesh reached 169/6 in 19.5 overs to avenge their six-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in the league stage a few days back.
It was the bowlers that opened up the opportunity for victory, though Sri Lanka rode on a brilliant counterattacking 64 not out off 38 balls by Dasun Shanaka to reach a challenging 168/7 in 20 overs. For Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman claimed 3-20 with some late strikes, including two in the penultimate over, while Mahedi Hasan bagged 2-25 on his return to the squad for this match.
