Sri Lanka and Bangladesh produced superlative performances to secure victories over Malaysia and Thailand in Group B and inch closer to the semi-final berth at the Women’s Asia Cup T20 tournament here on Monday.


While hosts Sri Lanka thrashed Malaysia by a massive 114 runs, Bangladesh outwitted Thailand by seven wickets later in the day. With four points each, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh occupy the top two spots.


Chamari Athapaththu was the architect of Sri Lanka’s dominating win as she smashed a 69-ball 119 not out powered the team to a daunting 184 for 4 after opting to bat. Harshitha Madavi (26) and Anushka Sanjeewani (31) also chipped in with useful contributions.


The bowlers then joined the party as Shashini Gimhani (3-9), Kawya Kavindi (2-7) and Kavisha Dilhari (2-4) produced incredible figures to bundle Malaysia out for just 40 in 19.5 overs.
