Sri Lanka batters shine against Oman’s bowling line-up

Oman had won the toss and decided to bowl first. However, it’s one of the biggest mistakes they have made. While batting first, Sri Lanka made a dominating start as their star players, Kusal Mendis and Pavan Rathnayake, showcased great batting. Both batters scored (61) and (60). Mendis smashed seven boundaries. On the other hand, Pavan smashed 8 fours and a six.

Oman was healing from that pressure as the Sri Lankan captain, Dasun Shanaka, took the charge and registered an innings of 50 runs off 20 balls including two boundaries and five sixes. However, their impressive batting performance added 225 runs on the board for a loss of five wickets.
