🏏Asia Cup 2023: M2: SL vs BD Pallekele at 3 PM IST on 31/08/2023🏏 - Page 5

A sweet moment on TV as the famous superfans of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cricket stand shoulder to shoulder, arms around one another, when the teams walk out.

The anthems are done and the Bangladesh openers stride out to the middle. Dasun Shanaka is in a huddle with his teammates and is giving them a pep talk,

The conditions are a bit overcast at present and the Sri Lankan seamers would be eyeing to make the most of it.

Qaaid: "Surprised that SL aren't playing Kusal Perera, he's an aggressive player and vastly experienced. Karunaratne and Nissanka are too slow in terms of strike rate to be opening together, Kusal Perera should come into the side in place of one of them " -- He might, later in the tournament. KJP has just recovered from testing positive for Covid etc.
