Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka is hopeful his side can still bounce back and clinch a semi-final berth in the ICC T20 World Cup despite the Asia Cup champions suffering another shattering defeat at the hands New Zealand at SCG on Saturday.
Sri Lanka slumped to 102 in 19.2 overs in the chase of the Kiwis’ 167-7 and are currently on fifth spot in Group one with just two points from three games and a dismal net run rate of -0.890. Sri Lanka have just one win from three games and will need to register emphatic wins from their remaining matches against Afghanistan and England to have any chance of qualifying for the semis.
