Sri Lanka's decision to rest a few seniors handed Mahela Udawatte an opportunity. Opening the innings with Kumar Sangakkara, he didn't disappoint


His captain Mahela Jayawardene led Sri Lanka's blazing assault with a 43-ball 61 which contained nine fours


Udawatte played the supprting role and helped himself to a brisk half-century as well, getting there in 48 balls


UAE however clawed back in the middle overs, getting rid of Udawatte cheaply for 67


The wicket-burst continued and suddenly, Sri Lanka had lost half their side in the 28th over with the score on 180


Fahad Alhashmi was expensive but he picked up a couple of wickets


There was some stiff resistance from the Sri Lankan tail which helped them reach an imposing 290


Amjad Ali gave the chase the perfect start, smashing three boundaries in the first over


He went on to reach his fifty off just 39 balls but he didn't get much support from his team-mates


Ajantha Mendis made short work of the tail, finishing with career-best figures of 5-22, as Sri Lanka completed a 142-run victory
