In a thrilling clash at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Bangladesh emerged victorious over Sri Lanka. The match was a see-saw affair, with both teams fighting tooth and nail.

Sri Lanka’s chase got off to a good start, with openers Pathum Nissanka (40) and Kusal Mendis (35) providing a solid foundation. However, the Bangladesh bowlers kept chipping away at the wickets, and Sri Lanka eventually fell short by 16 runs.
