Sri Lanka’s Shanaka trumps Bangladesh debutant Jaker in T20 thriller

Associated Press  

SYLHET, Bangladesh — Dasun Shanaka bowled an eight-run, two-wicket last over for Sri Lanka to beat Bangladesh by three runs in a thrilling Twenty20 series opener on Monday. Sri Lanka posted a respectable 206-3 then debutant Jaker Ali gave Bangladesh a great chance at victory until he was out in the tense last over for 68 with 10 runs needed and three balls left. Mahmudullah’s innings was amazing, along with Jaker’s.” Sri Lanka’s total was platformed by Sadeera Samarawickrama’s unbeaten 61 off 48 balls and opener Kusal Mendis’ 36-ball 59. Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam dismissed Avishka Fernando for 4 with the second ball of the day and Taskin Ahmed removed Kamindu Mendis for 19, leaving Sri Lanka at 37-2. Rishad Hossain made the breakthrough by snagging the wicket of Mendis, who smote six fours and three sixes, but Asalanka’s six-laden knock gave Sri Lanka a competitive total.
