Sri Lanka played Bangladesh in their opening game of the South Asian Basketball Championship 2018 (SABA 2018), which acts as the pre-qualifier for the Asia Cup 2021. The SABA 2018 is played in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Lankan lads getting the ideal start for the campaign drowned the home team at full time, 65-34. Even though Bangladesh walked into the game after a win and being the home side, played some disappointing basketball against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka on the other hand identified the weakness of the opposition early and exploited them well one after the other. Sri Lanka created a balance between their offense and defense during the first two quarters and tightened the screws for the home team. After the home team was ambushed hard, Sri Lanka capitalized more on their offense during the second half and rubbed the game swiftly across. Bangladesh seemed to have lost the plot entirely in every aspect of the game. The Sri Lankan man-to-man defense completely blocked off the lanes for the hosts to score during their offensive possessions. Bangladesh in their defense struggled as Sri Lanka passed the ball around the perimeter and executed their offensive game plans. Even though Bangladesh did opt for a tight man-to-man defense, the offensive game plans of Sri Lanka always left one man open to take the shot freely. Bangladesh never adopted to it. Sri Lanka went on to score 12 points in the first quarter in reply to the couple by the hosts. For the second and third quarter Sri Lanka went on to add 15 and 19 points respectively. Bangladesh only managed, 07 and 08. Both the teams did score 19 points each, but the early lead helped Sri Lanka to close the game, 34-65.
