We would’ve bowled first as well. Gunathilaka is injured, Asalanka comes in. We’ve got a balanced side. It was a bad day at the office (Last match vs Namibia) but let’s forget that. We never underestimate any sides. - Dasun Shanaka
The run out of Dhananjaya de Silva has affected the run-rate of SL but Pathum Nissanka’s presence will be a boost for them as he approaches the half-century mark.
Sri Lanka 113/2 (13.4 overs)
Pothum Nissanka 47* (43)
Karthik Meiyappan has picked up a hatrick (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka)
SL are going down like nine pins as UAE pick up their 6th wicket. At one stage they were looking to post somewhere around 170-180 but now they hope to post at least 150
19th over so far
2 , 6, 4, 1
Sri Lanka 147/6 (18.4 overs
Zahoor is bowling the final over
Sri Lanka 149/6 in 19 overs
Chamika Karunaratne lost his wicket
Sri Lanka 150/7 in 19.3 overs
Next man in - Pramod Madushan
Pathum Nissanka’s 74 takes Sri Lanka to 152 after Karthik Meiyappan’s hat-trick.
Quick fact: Karthik Meiyappan had joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore training camp in IPL 2020 to help in their preparation.
UAE are in great trouble as they lose 4 wickets in the powerplay with just 23 on the board
Sri Lanka needs to bowl them out for 91 if they want to go be ahead of their NRR game for the next game against Netherlands
