Asia Cup: Hossain And Ali Put Record Sixth-wicket Stand To Help Bangladesh Post 139/5

By IANS News September 13, 2025 • 22:40 PM View: 229

Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: Shamim Hossain (42 not out) and Jaker Ali (41 not out) top scored as Bangladesh fought back to post 139/5 in 20 overs against Sri Lanka in the fifth match of Group B of the Asia Cup at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.

An unbeaten record 86 runs for the sixth-wicket stand between Shamim Hossain and Jaker Ali gave the Tigers a total to bowl at after being reduced to 53 for 5.

Put into bat, Bangladesh endured a disastrous beginning. Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera were unplayable with the new ball, sending both openers back without a run on the board.
