    What's the story

    Sri Lanka's Charith Asalanka played a vital knock against Scotland in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers at the Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo.

    Asalanka slammed his eighth ODI fifty and also completed 1,000 runs in this format.

    His knock of 65-ball 63 came at a crucial stage of the Lankan innings as they folded for only 245.

    Here's more.

    Knock

    Asalanka shares two crucial partnerships

    Asalanka joined Pathum Nissanka in the middle when SL had just lost Sadeera Samarawickrama, and the score read 98/3.

    He added a 44-run partnership with Nissanka. After the latter's departure, he stitched a very crucial 66-run stand with Dhananjaya de Silva, taking the score beyond the 200-run mark.

    His 63-run knock was laced with four boundaries and two sixes. Mark Watt dismissed him.

    A look at his stellar numbers in ODIs since 2021

    Summary

    How did the SL innings pan out?

    Scotland invited SL to bat first and they lost two quick wickets. However, Nissanka (75) and Samarawickrama held the fort with a fine partnership.

    Later, Asalanka also added crucial partnerships with Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva. Ultimately, SL suffered a lower-order collapse and were bundled out for only 245.

    Chris Greaves starred for Scotland with 4/32 in his 6.3 overs.
