SRI LANKA’S ROUSING FIGHTBACK

A Sri Lanka forward tries to wriggle past two Maldives defenders during their high-scoring opening match of the Mahinda Rajapaksa Trophy in Colombo yesterday. The hosts stormed back to hold Maldives to a 4-4 draw, thanks to a four-goal haul in the second half from Ahmed Waseem Razeek. In the second match of the tournament today, Bangladesh will take on Seychelles at 4:30pm Bangladesh time, a match which was deferred from Monday due to heavy rain in the Lankan capital. PHOTO: FFOSL
