Sri Lanka crush Bangladesh in Asia Cup opener. Seven wicket win suggests India- Sri Lanka final.-BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka started their Asia Cup campaign in commanding form dispatching Bangladesh to record a 7-wicket win in Dambulla. Sri Lanka and India are the in-form teams in the Asian region and both have shown that they are the teams to beat in their respective groups.  India are sitting pretty at the top of their group with two wins over Pakistan and UAE and unless things go pear shaped, Sri Lanka should get through their group on current form. India needs to beat Nepal to move to the next stage while Sri Lanka having a resounding win over  Bangladesh have Thailand and Malaysia ahead of them in what looks like a tantalising India- Sri Lanka final if things go to plan.  Keeping their heads and not getting ...

Batters crumble in a familiar fashion as rollercoaster Sri Lanka head for an early exit after Bangladesh loss. Bowlers excell in vain effort.  BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka appears to have an early flight home planned for them after crashing to their second consecutive defeat, this time to Bangladesh thanks to another dismal batting performance in Dallas. Horses for courses appear to be at the root cause of their embarrassment as a clueless batting display again made the islanders look like amateurs, and Bangladesh, now their arch rivals,  basked in the glory of contributing to their misery with a 2 -wicket win. Sri Lanka again proved that the selection of the squad was lopsided in their batting which has for time immorial in recent years been on a rollercoaster in terms of consistency.  In fairness it was not an easy passage for the Bangladeshis, as ...
