Sri Lanka set competitive target of 139 for India

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first in their Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

India's net run-rate (NRR) of +1.970 is easily the best of the five competing teams, so should they lose to a smarting Sri Lanka, a win over UAE in their last match on Thursday will likely be enough to keep them afloat.

Bangladesh will face Pakistan in their last league match of the tournament on Wednesday. But Shakib and Mustafizur Rahman bowled eight overs between them for just 40 runs, taking three wickets.

Sri Lanka opener Dinesh Chandimal, reprieved before scoring, went on to score 37 and Shehan Jayasuriya added 26, but it wasn't enough for the Lankans, who take on India in Mirpur tomorrow (Tuesday).

The all-rounder believes the wicket was pretty good for batting, but things became tougher for Sri Lanka as they didn't go for the right options. With 147 runs on board, we knew we could fight it out.

Adam Johnson guilty of final count of sexual activity with a child
Johnson claimed he signed two shirts for her during a first meeting and kissed her during a second, on January 30, 2015. But when he was at Sunderland he used his position in society to engage in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

The quick is reportedly carrying a niggle and stand-in skipper Mathews was unable to shed any light on how long he will be sidelined for with just over two weeks remaining before Sri Lanka start the defence of their World Twenty20 title.

Angelo Mathews, leading the side in the absence of Lasith Malinga (knee injury), struck with the second ball of the match by trapping Mohammad Mithun lbw for a duck. However, Umar Akmal and Shoaib Malik took the team home, sharing an unbeaten partnership of 114-runs for the fourth wicket.

"Shakib played an important role and so did Mahmudullah".

"It was a good opportunity to come in early".

Sabbir was duly adjudged the man-of-the-match for his heroics.

Additional details of the " Hack the Pentagon " program will be released by the DOD soon along with the application process. Participants could be eligible for monetary awards and other recognition, said the announcement.

That pair put on 82 for the fourth wicket, with Sabbir's superb innings ended by Dushmantha Chameera (3-30). Pakistan will face the UAE in the next match of the tournament on Monday.

Shakib chipped in with two, while Mustafizur, Mashrafe Mortaza and Mahmudullah accounted for a piece each.

India looked to be in trouble early on as they were reduced to just 8-3 after three overs and this gave Pakistan a real chance of victory.

After smashing a match-winning knock in Bangladesh's resounding Asia Cup win against Sri Lanka, all-rounder Sabbir Rahman said that he never cares about personal achievements.
