Mendis and Asalanka's partnership of 102 sets the stage."

Gulbadin Naib and Rashid Khan shine with the ball.

Early wickets put Sri Lanka under pressure at 86/3.

Mendis unleashes with three consecutive boundaries.

Asalanka falls, but Mendis continues with big sixes.

Rashid's brilliance dismisses Mendis in a dramatic fashion.
