ARachchige’s terrific knock comes to an end as he holes it to Jishan Alam at deep midwicket – just one ball after he had been dropped by the same fielder. Pramod Madushan comes on to face the last delivery, and gets a single. SL-A reach 159/7, which is a very good total on this ground.
Wellalage attempted to slog it over the park but caught it with the toe-end of the bat. It went high up in the sky, and it’s a very good grab from Yasir Ali. Milan Rathnayake is the new batter.
It’s a stunning knock from Arachchige, and he has essentially rescued Sri Lanka A’s innings. He reaches his 42-ball half-century with an excellently-timed boundary on the offside against Hider. His partnership with Wellalage is crucial, and SL-A will target a 160-ish total now.
Wellalage dropped!! It was a sitter, with the Sri Lanka A batter getting a thick outside edge while trying to cut it towards the offside. Saqlain was already half-way celebrating, but the fly slip drops it. Very disappointing for BAN-A.
The partnership of 48 runs is finally broken, with some good work on the field by Mererob. The Sri Lanka A batters try to take a quick single. Mid-wicket fielder Meherob takes the ball, and with all three wickets to aim for, breaks the stumps with an accurate throw. Mendis has to return to the pavilion.
A big six by Mendis off Meherob, going with the wind’s direction to send the ball across the ropes, has given a bit of life to SL-A’s fledgling innings. At this rate, they will lucky to reach a 130-plus score. Will it be enough on this ground?
Just 14 runs in the last three overs, with no boundaries. Bangladesh A have slowed down the flow of runs that Sri Lanka A’s openers had given. Mendis is yet to openn up, with Arachchige having to take the onus of rotating the strike.
A straightforward ball from Saqlain, but it’s a very lazy shot from Fernando. The ball hits him on the pads and it looks plumb, and the umpire’s finger goes up. The BAN-A bowler celebrates with a Ronaldo-esque celebration. SL-A lose their fourth wicket.
After being hit for a six by Croospulle, Rakibul has the perfect comeback. It’s a dream delivery from Rakibul against the right-hander, and it beats Croospulle’s defence and hits the offstump. Sri Lanka A lose their third wicket within the powerplay. Arachchige is the new batter.
Stunning from Abu Hider!! He has removed both of the SL-A openers. Halambage tried to play it away from the body, and Jishan takes a stunning diving catch at short cover.
Abu Hider strikes!! It was bowled straight at the stumps. Madhushka, attempting to play across the line, completely misses, and the ball hits him plump on the stumps. The umpire’s finger goes up, and Sri Lanka A lose their first wicket.
Nishan Madhushka and Vishen Hamalbage are opening the innings for Sri Lanka A, who have been sent to bat first. Bangladesh A has given the ball to the in-form Ripon Mondol.
He gets a thick inside edge off Halambage, but unluckily, the ball races away for four. The batter ends the over with a hammering six that flies to the stands. A good start from the Lankans.
If Sri Lanka A win today’s match, then SL-A and BAN-A will qualify for the semi-finals. If Bangladesh A win, then BAN-A and AFG-A will qualify.
