Sri Lanka too good for Japan
Sri Lanka Emerging Team registered a comfortable 68-run win over Japan in the second T20I worked off at Sano International Cricket Stadium yesterday.
Opting to bowl first, Japan was rewarded straight away when they struck with the very first ball to dismiss opener Sithara Hapuhinna to put early pressure on the visitors.
Despite a shaky start, Shehan Fernando and Sahil Dias put on a 46 runs partnership for the 3rd wicket to take them from 4-2 to 50-2.
Fernando top scored with 30, while Dias made 22 to take Sri Lanka to 125 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Imthiyas Slaza also contributed a quick fire 24 balls 27 from down the order to make sure Sri Lanka reached a defendable score.
Reo Sakurano was outstanding with the ball for Japan with figures of 4/25 in 4 overs.
In reply, Japan were never in the hunt as they were bundled out for just 57 runs inside the first 16 overs. None of their batters were able to impress, and only Souta Wada (11) and Wataru Miyauchi (10) were able to reach double figures.
On the bowling front, Imthiyas Slaza ripped through the Japan batting lineup with 3/5 in 3 overs, while Lakshan Gamage, Harshana Wickramasinghe and skipper Dellon Peiris scalped two apiece.
The win also saw Sri Lanka take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, with the third game scheduled to be played on Saturday (13) at the same venue.

பதிலுக்கு துடுப்பெடுத்தாடிய ஜப்பான், முதல் 16 ஓவர்களில் வெறும் 57 ரன்களுக்கு ஆட்டமிழந்ததால், வேட்டையில் இறங்கவில்லை. அவர்களது பேட்ஸ் எவரும் ஈர்க்க முடியவில்லை, மேலும் சௌதா வாடா (11), வதாரு மியாவுச்சி (10) ஆகியோரால் மட்டுமே இரட்டை இலக்கங்களை எட்ட முடிந்தது.
பந்துவீச்சில் இம்தியாஸ் ஸ்லாசா 3 ஓவர்களில் 3/5 என ஜப்பான் துடுப்பாட்ட வரிசையைக் கிழித்தெறிந்தார், அதேவேளை லக்ஷான் கமகே, ஹர்ஷன விக்கிரமசிங்க மற்றும் அணித்தலைவர் டெலன் பீரிஸ் ஆகியோர் தலா இரண்டு வீதம் வீழ்த்தினர்.
இந்த வெற்றியின் மூலம் ஐந்து போட்டிகள் கொண்ட தொடரில் இலங்கை 2-0 என முன்னிலை பெற்றுள்ளது, மூன்றாவது ஆட்டம் சனிக்கிழமை (13) அதே மைதானத்தில் நடைபெற உள்ளது.
