The Asia Cup 2018 started with the toss ahead of its opening game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.


Winning the toss Bangladesh chose to bat first on the batting-friendly track of the Dubai International Stadium. However, the Tigers stumbled in the very beginning as Lasith Malinga started firing on all cylinders to mark his comeback. The pacer collected a brace in the last two deliveries of the first over, dismissing Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan for a duck.


Tamim Iqbal, too, retired hurt in the second over, adding to the miseries of the Mashrafe-led men. He missed the line and hurt his left wrist while trying to play a pull against Lakmal.


Tamim was nursing an injury on his right hand that he sustained during the Asia Cup-preparation camp on August 28.


Angelo Mathews’ mistake coupled with a no-ball in the fifth over, kept Mohammad Mithun from adding another scalp to Malinga’s tally and turning their start into a shakier one.

Mushfiqur Rahim is currently on the crease alongside Mithun. They will now try to restore the innings and take the Tigers to a safer position.
