Sri Lanka eye T20 climb as Bangladesh series begins

|The Island
Having turned the corner in One-Day Internationals with seven series wins out of nine since the Champions Trophy heartbreak, Sri Lanka now shift focus to the shortest format where their progress has been more of a stop-start affair.
Ranked seventh in T20 Internationals, Sri Lanka begin their three-match series against Bangladesh at Pallekele today aiming to tighten screws ahead of next year's T20 World Cup, which they will co-host with India.
"We've made headway in ODIs, but T20s still remain a work in progress," skipper Charith Asalanka told reporters on the eve of the game. "Our target is to get into the top five. The key is consistency and for that we need to get our combination right."
