Wathsala Herath finished in 5th place while the men, Sivarajan and Gunasekara finished in 7th and 8th places respectively.
It was an unfortunate affair for the Lankans to not finish in podium spots but with the below average temperatures in Dhaka this time of the year, Team Sri Lanka will be content with their year opener, and will look to build on this in 2022.
