Mishara-Nissanka masterclass guides Sri Lanka to win

Abu Dhabi, Sept 13 (UNI) In a display of composure, timing, and sheer cricketing intelligence, Sri Lanka overcame Bangladesh by six wickets in the 5th Group B clash of the Asia Cup 2025 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium with the innings beautifully orchestrated by Kamil Mishara and Pathum Nissanka.
From the outset, it was evident that Sri Lanka’s chase of 140 was a contest of patience and shot selection rather than brute power. Mishara was the star of the show, blending elegance with aggression. Every stroke had a purpose: a backfoot pull over long-on in the 5th over that sailed for six, crisp cuts and drives racing to the boundary, and calculated running between the wickets that kept the scoreboard ticking.
Complementing him was Nissanka, who epitomised classical T20 batting, pulling, lofting, and finding gaps with precision, reaching his fifty in 34 balls and crossing the landmark of 2000 T20I runs in style. Their partnership was the fulcrum of the innings, absorbing pressure and converting it into control, while Charith Asalanka provided the finishing touches with a six.
