Sri Lanka start with unsteady win over UAE.

In any case, captain Lasith Malinga managed twin blows in the first over with two square opening conveyances to peg back UAE, who just oversaw 115 for 9 in their 20 overs. The target was a little one however UAE's inability against big teams was the fundamental factor in not having the capacity to chase down a small target.
In a match that never rose to bleary eyed statures, the main prominent episode was pacer Dushmantha Chameera being banned from finishing the last over of the innings for knocking down some pins two beamers which is unlawful according to runs the show. It was Angelo Mathews who finished the customs.
The batsmen, even in the wake of recuperating from the top-request harm, never went for the pursuit.
Inside of the initial five overs, UAE lost four wickets with prepared couple of Malinga (4/26 in 4 overs) and Nuwan Kulasekara (3/10 in 4 overs) sharing the riches. With half of the team being back in the uncovered before the aggregate coming to even 40, it was for all intents and purposes inconceivable for the qualifiers to make a match out of it.
It began with the principal conveyance that left-gave opener Rehan Mustafa (0) confronted. Malinga knocked down some pins one that was full and swung into batsman s cushions. It would have collided with center and leg and the choice was a simple one for the umpire.
In that exceptionally over, Malinga managed another telling blow evacuating UAE s best batsman Mohammed Shahzad (1) with another full conveyance that experienced his protections.
Muhammad Kaleem (7) attempted to clean mid-up however Angelo Mathews took a basic catch to give Kulasekara his first wicket. UAE were in wears at 16 for four when Muhammed Usman (6) attempted a hoick off Kulasekara yet Chamara Kapugedara took a regulation catch at first slip. Right then and there, the match was basically over yet Swapnil Patil (37) to spare his group the becomes flushed. In any case, Patil did not play an excess of top dogs notwithstanding when he was set. None of the other batsmen crossed 15-run mark for UAE.
Rangana Herath (2/22) got a few center request wickets and kept the weight on UAE.
However UAE will take a few positives out of this match, particularly a decent execution from their bowlers drove by captain Amjad Javed (3/25), who got the initial three Sri Lankan wickets including Chandimal, Tillakaratne Dilshan (27) and Milinda Siriwardana (6).
Chandimal scored 50 off 39 balls with seven fours and one six, including 68 keeps running for the opening stand with Dilshan.
Sri Lanka were 72 for one after initial 10 overs however some poor shot choice saw them score just 57 in the following 10, losing seven more wickets. After the openers, none of the Lankan batsmen could cross 10-run mark. However the bowlers did the occupation for them on the day.
