Sri Lanka v UAE, Group A, Asia Cup, Lahore
Srilanka defeated UAE
Marvan Atapattu was generally pleased with Sri Lanka's 142-run victory over the United Arab Emirates on Thursday.
Sri Lanka secured their second big win in two days, this time over UAE, to progress to the second round of the Asia Cup with two points in the bag. Chasing 291, UAE looked like they would make a match of it as opener Amjad Ali hit a spectacular half-century but they hurtled to defeat after his departure, losing their last six wickets for 15 runs as Ajantha Mendis finished with career-best figures of 5-22.
UAE managed to put on a much better show than the other Associate nation in the tournament, Hong Kong, but the big boys proved too strong for them.
