Hit maiden half-centuries after Ireland bowlers strike early
Wanindu Hasaranga and Pathum Nissanka hit half-centuries to help Sri Lanka post 171 for seven, after early setbacks, against Ireland in the Twenty20 World Cup on Wednesday.
Invited to bat, Sri Lanka was in trouble at 8 for three in the second over when Hasaranga (71) and Nissanka (61) put on key stand of 123.
Paul Stirling claimed the wicket of Kusal Perera for nought with the second ball of the innings and soon Joshua Little took two in two to send back Dinesh Chandimal and Avishka Fernando.
