Sri Lanka under the pump to open account in CWC Super League

Overview:

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka, second ODI
Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur
25 May, 13:00 local

In the first ODI, Bangladesh fought back hard to regain command over crucial match-turning moments in a game that ebbed and flowed. Despite the win, the hosts still have a few batting issues to contend with. They would want the batsmen to convert their starts into big scores -- three players managed to score a half-century each but fell short of the triple figure mark

Remember the last time:

Mushfiqur Rahim was the architect of Bangladesh’s win as he laid down the platform with a sublime 84 supported by fifties from Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah, taking them to a competitive total of 257/6.

Mehidy Hasan (4/30) and Mustafizur Rehman (3/34) provided the impetus with the ball to take a comprehensive win of 33 runs despite the resistance from Wanindu Hasaranga, who fought back with a 60-ball 74. Thereafter, Sri Lanka were bundled out for 224 in the 49th over.

What they said:

**Kusal Perera (Sri Lanka captain): “**Our batsmen must bat at least 30-35 overs, I was a bit disappointed with that. I thought we had a chance (when Hasaranga and Udana were batting), but they bowled well, we will look to come back and do well in the next game.”

**Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh captain): “**Losing is no fun. Finally, we won. I think we lost 10 games across all formats. Winning is happiness. The boys are really happy. We hope we can put on a better show next time.”
