Soumya tempest rips Sri Lanka bowlers
The T20I match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh has begun with the latter winning the toss and deciding to bat first. It seems like it was a great decision as Soumya Sarkar has raised hell against the Lankan bowlers.
Batting alongside debutant Zakir Hasan, Soumya Sarkar has raced to 32 from 15 balls. Zakir, however, scored 10 from 9 balls and showed great mentality to score those runs. He was scalped by Gunathilka as he tried to smash one too many.
Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim are looking good with the bat. They are rotating the strike, smashing the deliveries that need to be punished. Soumya is on fire! He seems to be determined to post a daunting total against the visitors.
Score:
Bangladesh - 71/1 after 6 overs.
