Player ratings for Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh clash 

Sri Lanka 

Kusal Perera ( 1/10): The opening batter Kusal Perera didn’t have an ideal outing as he lost his wicket after scoring just one wicket. Nasum Ahmed dismantled the stumps to end Kusal’s stay in the middle.  

Pathum Nissanka (5/10): The other opening batter Pathum Nissanka got off to a good start in the T20 match. The batter was middling the ball well as he added 24 runs off 21 balls. However, he perished on delivery by Shakib Al Hasan.

Charith Asalanka ( 9.5/10): Charith Asalanka did everything right against Bangladesh. He was the wrecker-in-chief for Sri Lanka as the batter slammed not out 80 runs off just 49 balls. 

Avishka Fernando ( 1/10): The match against Bangladesh didn’t go as per the plan for Avishka Fernando. The 23-year-old gifted his wicket to Shakib on a three-ball duck.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa ( 9/10): Bhanuka Rajapaksa flaunted his class with the willow as he played a crucial role in Sri Lanka’s victory. The left-hander smashed 53 runs off just 31 balls. 

Dasun Shanaka (c) ( 5/10): The skipper Dasun Shanaka didn’t have much to do against the Men in Red and Green. He remained not out with 1 off 1 while he gave away 14 runs in his two overs without any wicket. 

Wanindu Hasaranga ( 3/10): Sri Lanka had high hopes from Wanindu Hasaranga, however, the team was left disappointed. Hasaranga didn’t have a good day with the ball as he leaked 29 runs in his three overs.  

Chamika Karunaratne ( 8/10): Chamika Karunaratne can be considered the most successful bowler for Sri Lanka. The seamer picked up Shakib Al Hasan while giving just 12 runs in his three overs 

Dushmantha Chameera ( 3/10): Dushmantha Chameera had a dismal outing with the ball. The veteran went wicketless while he also proved costly with the ball. Chameera gave away 41 runs in his four overs. 

Binura Fernando ( 4/10): Binaru Fernando needs to make a better comeback with the ball in the next game. The left-arm seamer conceded runs at an economy rate of nine in his three overs. He also went wicketless.

Lahiru Kumara ( 6/10): Another Sri Lanka pacer Lahiru Kumara was decent with the ball. He picked up one wicket while giving away 29 runs in his four overs at an economy rate of 7.2. 

Bangladesh

Mohammad Naim ( 8/10): Mohammad Nain deserves a special mention for giving Bangladesh a good start. The opening batter added 62 runs to the scoreboard after facing 52 balls. 

Liton Das ( 4/10): A lot was expected from Liton Das but he failed to live up to his reputation. Das perished after scoring just 16 off 16 on a delivery by Lahiru Kumara.

Shakib Al Hasan ( 5/10): Though Shakib had a good outing with the ball, the all-rounder failed to do justice as a batter. Shakib ended up with only 10 runs in several deliveries he faced in the game. 

Mushfiqur Rahim (9/10): It was a good day at the office for Mushfiqur Rahim. The 34-year-old was brilliant with the willow and helped his team reach a decent score by slamming 57 runs off 37 balls. 

Mahmudullah (c) ( 5/10): Mahmudullah didn’t have much to do with the ball as he scored ten runs in his five balls. However, the cricketer disappointed as a captain. He could have taken better calls while rotating the bowlers to take the team home.
