In Asia Cup T20 Cricket, hosts Bangaldesh were 76 for 2 in 11 overs a short while ago against UAE at Dhaka. Opener Md. Mithun was playing on 43 while Soumya Sarkar was out for 21. UAE won the toss and opted to bowl first. Sri Lanka yesterday edged past UAE in their opening round-robin match at Mirpur with a 14-run victory. The reigning champions were restricted to 129 for 8 in the alloted 20 overs. In reply, UAE could only score 115 for 9 courtesy a spell of 4 for 26 by Lasith Malinga, the newly-appointed Lankan captain. He was adjudged man of the match for his brilliant performance. India will take on Pakistan tomorrow. The continental championship is being played in a Twenty-20 format for the first time, from the usual ODI, keeping in mind the T-20 World Cup which will be hosted by India next month. Top two teams at the end of the round-robin stage will meet in the Final slated for the 6th of next month.
