In the 15th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Dallas, Sri Lanka found themselves batting first after being put in by Bangladesh. The start seemed promising, primarily due to the efforts of Nissanka. However, Sri Lanka struggled to maintain momentum, culminating in a modest total of 124/9 as their innings concluded. Nevertheless, Sri Lanka’s bowlers may find solace in the performance of their Bangladeshi counterparts.
Bangladesh’s bowling unit, spearheaded by the young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, capitalized on the conditions, exploiting a surface conducive to grip and turn.
Squads:
Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis†, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das†, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
