Highlights | SL VS BAN, Asia Cup 2023 Cricket Highlights: Sri Lanka Beat Bangladesh By 21 Runs

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Match Highlights: Sri Lanka Secured 1st Win In Super 4 Stage Of Asia Cup 2023 on Saturday.

SL vs BAN, Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s Highlights: Sri Lanka secured a hard-fought 21-run victory, but their journey to this win was far from smooth. The match saw challenging phases for both batting and bowling sides. At first, Sri Lanka faced difficulties while setting a competitive total, but Sadeera Samarawickrama's impressive 93 elevated them to a different level.

In response, Bangladesh had a shaky start, reaching only 83/4, largely due to Dasun Shanaka's strategic use of short balls. Towhid Hridoy entered the scene and slowly found his rhythm, battling through a challenging phase with Dunith Wellalage's disciplined bowling. However, once he settled in, Hridoy accelerated and kept Bangladesh's hopes alive, especially in the last five overs.

Ultimately, it was Maheesh Theekshana who turned the game in Sri Lanka's favor. Despite an erratic first spell, he made a remarkable comeback, taking three wickets in just a couple of overs, virtually sealing the win for Sri Lanka. This hard-earned victory showcased the determination and resilience of both teams throughout the match.

'I thought it was a good toss to win at the start. We didn't bowl particuarly well. Credit to SL for the way they handled the new ball. Sadeera took the game away from us. 260 on that wicket - we needed a partnership at the start. There was help for the bowlers - both spinners and seamers. Our top four didn't get enough. He batted really well (Hridoy). He played LPL here. Had a good tournament. There are lots of ifs and buts you can talk about. We tried our best. Seamers were bit on the expensive side but they picked up all the wickets so we can't complain there.'
