Sri Lanka, who have won five Asia Cup titles, had lost half of their side for 60 in the 17th over before being bowled out for 124 in 35.2 overs, succumbing to their second-worst defeat against Bangladesh in 45 one-day internationals. Sri Lanka’s worst defeat against Bangladesh was a 163-run loss at Dhaka earlier this year. Dilruwan Perera (29), Upul Tharanga (27) and Suranga Lakmal (20) were the only batsmen to offer any resistance as Bangladesh bowled superbly from the start. Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan and skipper Mashrafe Mortaza took two wickets apiece. Afghanistan are a confident side arriving at the UAE on the back of victories in Ireland, where they defeated the home team both in the T20I (2-0) as well as ODI (2-1) series. The team had whitewashed Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series before that, with all three games taking place in Dehradun. With inputs from AFP
