NEW DELHI: Bangladesh had a horrific start to their Asia Cup campaign as they were outperformed by hosts Sri Lanka on Thursday at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh suffered a five-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka in their opening game.
Reflecting on the defeat, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said that they failed to put up a decent total even though the pitch was not a batting paradise. After opting to bat first, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 164 in the 43rd over. And Sri Lanka chased down the target in 39 overs with five wickets in hand.
