T20 World Cup: Bangladesh win low-scoring thriller against Sri Lanka

Dallas: Young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain claimed a splendid 3/22 before veteran Mahmudullah Riyad kept his composure in a tricky chase as Bangladesh pipped Sri Lanka by two wickets to make a winning start to the T20 World Cup here.

On a reasonably good Dallas surface, Rishad's



googlies and leg-breaks broke the back of Lankans as his three wickets in seven deliveries restricted the islanders to 124 for 9. Rishad returned with 3/22 from his four overs.

From being 70/2 in 8.4 overs, Sri Lanka lost seven wickets for 54.
