Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Live Score: Matheesha Pathirana was the pick of the bowlers as the depleted Sri Lankan pace battery was enough to skittle out a below-par Bangladesh for just 164 runs in the second match of the Asia Cup on Thursday.

Najmul Hossain Shanto was the only Bangladesh batter to put up any sort of resistance with 89 as the team around him collapsed like dominoes with 7 batters not even crossing single digits. Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat against Sri Lanka in their opening match.

Sri Lanka have lost Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madhushanka to various injuries, while Kusal Perera is yet to make full recovery from COVID-19 infection. On the other hand, Bangladesh will miss the services of injured Tamim Iqbal, pacer Ebadot Hossain and wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das.
