Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara top-scored with 64 not out to help his team recover from 70-6 at the end of the 13th over.
Sri Lanka lost its first wicket in the opening over today, without having scored a run. Tillakaratne Dilshan was unable to add to his tournament-leading 317 runs after scooping the ball to Shahzaib Hasan off the bowling of 17-year-old Mohammad Aamer.
Abdul Razzaq claimed his first wicket in the next over to leave Sri Lanka on 2-2, Jehan Mubarak giving Hasan another catch. Sanath Jayasuriya briefly accelerated the run rate with 17 from 10 balls, before dragging the ball onto his stumps. Razzaq took three wickets.
Three further wickets left Sri Lanka struggling to post a competitive total, but Sri Lanka captain Sangakkara and Angelo Mathews fought back. Sangakkara struck seven boundaries in his 52-ball knock, while Mathews’s 35 runs included three fours and a six.
