Anamul looked adept against the spinners playing the cut shot and in the ‘v’ with perfection. In the 16th overs, Anamul; came down the track and slapped it over long-on for a six off Chaturanga de Silva’s bowling. Shamsur was been the more aggressor of the two.

Ajantha Mendis came to bowl in the 15th over but had no effect on the openers. Anamul is the batsman in form and had scored a century in the previous match against Pakistan.
