Asia Cup 2023: Updated Points Table, Leading Run-Scorers, and Top Wicket-Takers After Super 4s Match Between SL and BAN On 9 September: The second match of the Asia Cup Super Four pitted co-host Sri Lanka against Bangladesh. The match began on September 9, 2023, at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Sri Lanka won by 21 runs. Let’s take a closer look at the Asia Cup points table and other stats following this match.
Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first. Although one Sri Lankan opener batted for relatively few runs, the rest of the team batted effectively. The Lankans lost wickets at frequent intervals, but because of Samarawickrama’s 93 on 72 and Kushal Mendis’ 50 on 73, they managed to set a target of 258 runs for Bangladesh. Hasan, from Bangladesh, took three wickets.

Bangladesh came to chase and made a strong start. However, after ten overs, they lost their openers in two overs. Bangladesh has battled with their top order throughout the tournament, and this encounter was no exception. Towhid Hridoy, on the other hand, was the lone warrior who stood there and sought to form partnerships with other batters, but no one could remain there for long. Towhid scored 82 runs but was unable to win the match.
Bangladesh has played two Super 4 matches and lost both of them, making it impossible for them to go to the finals. They will play their next encounter against India on May 15. While Sri Lanka will face Pakistan.
