Rahmat, spinners thump Sri Lanka out of Asia Cup

Profound Dasgupta says Sri Lanka did not have an unmistakable arrangement of how to handle the Afghanistan bowlers as they smashed out of the Asia Cup

Three days into the competition, Sri Lanka have turned into the principal group to crash out of the Asia Cup, plunging to a stun 91-run vanquish against Afghanistan, who had pulled themselves to 249 on the back of Rahmat Shah's 72, at that point guarded resolutely with the ball, separating most extreme advantage from Sri Lanka's bounteous batting botches. The win implies Afghanistan are through to the Super Four phase of the competition, alongside Bangladesh.

It was in the field and with the bat that Sri Lanka caused their own downfall, as had been the situation on Saturday against Bangladesh. Another catch was dropped off the resistance's best scorer, while run-out shots were missed, and ground handling kept on being slopy. At that point, with bat close by, Sri Lanka never appeared to have the proportion of the objective. Kusal Mendis was out second ball, caught lbw by a floating Mujeeb Ur Rahman conveyance. What's more, in spite of the fact that on occasion Sri Lanka debilitated to assemble associations, they some way or another discovered approaches to self-destruct. There were two run-outs in the innings, a few abnormal and lethal shot decisions, and a general subject of insufficiency and pandemonium to the innings.




Notice

Of course, Afghanistan's trio of match-turning spinners wreaked devastation, however right-arm seamer Gulbadin Naib likewise partook in the good times. Naib, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb and Mohammad Nabi took two wickets each, with every one of the four of these bowlers surrendering easily under four an over. So far reaching was this triumph, you could never figure Sri Lanka were the group who have won this competition five times, and the restriction were the upstarts. Afghanistan appeared responsible for this diversion from the specific beginning, when they put on 57 for the main wicket. Their solitary wobble was in the last 10 overs of their innings, when they oversaw just 66 runs, and lost seven wickets.

Twice, Sri Lanka proposed they would set about serenely knocking off this score, just for debacle to strike. Tharanga and Dhananjaya de Silva put on 54 for the second wicket, without being too woefully tried by the oppostion's bowlers, until the point that de Silva endeavored an ineffectively second keep running in spite of the solid protestations of his accomplice, and got himself run-out in a situation in which both batsmen wound up at a similar end. Afterward, following a second running misunderstanding - for which Angelo Mathews was to a great extent to fault - Sri Lanka were tottering at 108 for 5. Mathews and Thisara Perera appeared to delve in and begin a save, just for Mathews to gap out to long-on endeavoring to hit a truly necessary limit.

The facts demonstrate that Sri Lanka's batsmen regularly endeavored misguided strokes - Kusal Perera was a prime model, endeavoring a pre-ruminated trudge clear off Rashid's first finished, which finished with his off stump pegged back. Yet, they were normally harassed into a frenzy by a taught and persevering Afghanistan assault, which gave away not very many free conveyances, while their defenders upheld the bowlers up in clinical mold. In the event that there is some sort of unobtrusive protection of the Sri Lanka batsmen, it is that they for the most part endeavored to puncture the field before losing their wicket attempting to hit over it. At last, Sri Lanka didn't draw near - the last five wickets succumbing to 15 runs - with Rashid getting the last blow.

In their own innings, Afghanistan had been consistent, straight up until the 42nd over. Mohammad Shahzad hit 34 - periodically playing with fiasco, without grasping it like a few Sri Lanka batsman would do later at night. His opening accomplice Ihsanullah hit 45 off 65 balls, before in the end being rejected lbw by Akila Dananjaya, much the same as Shahzad.

Albeit neither one of the openers achieved 50 years, they had left Afghanistan in a better than average position - at 107 for 2 in the 25th over, at Ishanullah's takeoff. Shah assumed control from that point forward, and his was for the most part a controlled innings - any semblance of which he has played many occasions in the course of the most recent year and a half, as Afghanistan's most predictable batsman. Despite the fact that first scoring shot was streaky - an outside edge off Dananjaya avoiding first slip - he settled pleasantly from there on, discovering singles and twos into a now-spread field. Afghanistan's initial three rejections were all lbws, yet Shah guaranteed he shut out most of the straight conveyances the spinners conveyed to him.

He was so preservationist, actually, that he didn't hit his first limit until his 44th ball, slamming Shehan Jayasuriya's offspin through the spreads subsequent to stepping back and making room. He was more brave later in his innings, achieving fifty off the 63rd ball he looked with a four over mid-on, and after that wandering a couple more limits square, on either side of the pitch. Endeavoring to bring the beat up in the 42nd over, he could just hit a slower ball from Dushmantha Chameera to the extent long on, where Thisara finished an overhead catch.

Sri Lanka's bowlers would regroup through the last nine overs, with Thisara demonstrating penetrative specifically, finishing his initial five-wicket pull since 2012, depending for the most part on yorkers for those wickets. Three of Thisara's expulsions, be that as it may, came in the last over of the innings thus as five-fors go, this one didn't substantially affect the restriction's score.

Regardless, Sri Lanka batted so ineffectively against an energetic Afghanistan assault, there was maybe little their bowlers could have done to spare them.

Afghanistan 249 (Rahmat 72, Ihsanullah 45, Thisara 5-55) beat Sri Lanka 158 (Tharanga 36, Rashid 2-26, Naib 2-29) by 91 runs
