The 2014 champions suffered through an indifferent form, but are suddenly being mentioned as potential title winners.

The boys have done well, and they have shown their skills, and they have shown what they really can do in this tournament,” Shanaka said on Saturday. “They have made their mark in this tournament already, so every team has to have a close look at them, so it’s really good for us.” They dismissed Namibia for 96, Ireland for 101 and then the Netherlands for just 44.

Sri Lanka win by 5 wickets!
It doesn’t matter how they come. Asalanka gets an outside edge to third man for four. It’s Sri Lanka’s highest successful run chase in T20 World Cup.
After 18 overs,Sri Lanka 163/4 ( Charith Asalanka 74 , Bhanuka Rajapaksa 51)
A very good over from Mustafizur gives away just four runs. 9 needed off wo overs.
After 16 overs,Sri Lanka 148/4 ( Charith Asalanka 65 , Bhanuka Rajapaksa 45)
Bangladesh are losing steam here. Liton Das drops another one as he gives Asalanka a life line by putting one down at deep cover. Mustafizur bowls a tight over and gives away just five. But then arrives a potential match-turning over as Rajapakse takes on Saifuddin. Hits him for 22 off the over. Two sixes and two fours in that over. The last one was a full toss which Rajapaksa smashes over covers. There were 14 off the first three balls. 24 needed off 24 now.
FIFTY for RAJAPAKSE!
6 6 4!
Rajapakse on fire. He flicks it over fine leg and then swings it over deep mid-wicket for back to back sixes off Saifuddin. He then slashes one over backward point for a four. To make it 16 off three balls.
Meanwhile the excitement and anticipation in building up for India vs Pakistan!
After 12 overs,Sri Lanka 90/4 ( Charith Asalanka 49 , Bhanuka Rajapaksa 6)
Clever from Bangladesh. They are choking the scoring after taking quick wickets. Mahedi Hasan bowls tight lines and gives away just five runs. And then, Mahmudullah brings himself on and concedes just five runs. Only 10 runs off the last two overs.
After 10 overs,Sri Lanka 80/4 ( Charith Asalanka 46 , Bhanuka Rajapaksa 0)
Bangladesh have bounced back hard. Three wickets in the last two overs. Shakib with some lovely left-arm spin bowling cleans up Nissanka and Fernando with beauties. Gives away just a single in the ninth over. Saifuddin then foxes Hasaranga with a slower one and sends him back to the hut in the next over. Hasaranga had hit a streaky four the previous ball, as he got an outside edge wide of the third man fielder off his slash. Saifuddin gives away 8 runs and takes the wicket of Hasaranga in that over. Half way through the innings, Sri Lanka are 80/4.
Legend surpassing legend!
After 8 overs,Sri Lanka 71/1 ( Pathum Nissanka 24 , Charith Asalanka 44)
A mixed couple of overs for Sri Lanka. Asalanka has been connecting them sweetly. He plays a glorious drive off the first ball of the Mustafizur and it whizzes away through extra cover for four. He, however gets an outside edge which flies wide of the keeper for a streaky four. They take 13 off the Mustafizur over. Mahedi then pulls things back a bit as he bowls a tight over, varying his pace well and gives away four singles. 17 off the last two overs.
After 6 overs,Sri Lanka 54/1 ( Pathum Nissanka 19 , Charith Asalanka 32)
A decent Powerplay for Sri Lanka, 54/1. They lost Perera early but Asalanka has kept the momentum going. Shakib bowled a good over giving away just five. Nissanka looked to loft one over mid on but mistimed it and it fell short and wide of the fielder. Shakib gave away just 5 runs. Nissanka then took on Mahedi as he swept one wide of short fine leg for a four and then lofted one over long on for a six. 15 off the Mahedi over. 20 off the last two overs.
Some news from the India vs Pakistan match later on…
After 4 overs,Sri Lanka 34/1 ( Pathum Nissanka 5 , Charith Asalanka 27)
Asalanka has come out with an aggressive intent. He smashes one over extra cover for a six off Nasum and then clobbers one over deep backward square leg for a second six off the over. They take 16 runs off the Nasum over.
Saifuddin started the next over well with two dots. But then he strayed down the leg side for a WIDE! A single followed and then Asalanka flicked a low full toss through square leg for a couple. The next one is whipped behind square leg for a four. 8 runs off the Saifuddin over. 24 off the last 2 overs.
After 2 overs,Sri Lanka 10/1 ( Nissanka 3 , Aslanka 6)
Nissanka survived a run out chance off the second ball. Perera flicked one to backward square leg and set off for a risky single. The fielder missed the direct hit as Nissanka made it. Two balls later Bangladesh had their first wicket at Nasum cleaned up Perera with a lovely flighted delivery. Nasum gave away just 4 runs in the first over. Mahedi started off well giving away just a single off the first three balls, but then Asalanka hit a powerful slog sweep and the fielder on the boundary makes a mess of it to concede a four. A single off the next two balls make it 6 runs off the over. 10/1 after 2 overs.
