Both of them overcome the team with difficulties
Sri Lanka made a great start to the day before when Asitha Fernando walked Inamul Haq without opening an account, after which the debut off -spinner Tharaindu Ratnayake took two wickets, taking two wickets, opener Shadman Islam (14) and Mominul Haq (29). Shanto then played aggressive shots on weak balls while batting responsibly. He has hit 14 fours and a six in his innings so far.

Sri Lanka decided to take a new ball as soon as the 80 -over game was completed to break this partnership, but it did not get any benefit.
