The short ball has worked on plenty of occasions in the Asia Cup. Add one more to the list. Ebadot Hossain bends his back and extracts the bounce on this surface, as Pathum Nissanka is rushed on the pull and miscues it tamely to mid-wicket, where Mustafizur Rahman accepts the dolly. Sri Lanka have lost their opener and Bangladesh would be buoyed by the wicket at the end of the PowerPlay. Nissanka didn’t quite get going, scoring a run-a-ball 20 as Sri Lanka set about chasing a formidable 184. The islanders need 125 runs in 80 balls.
