Sri Lanka and Bangladesh players observed a one-minute silence before the start of the match on Saturday in honour of Wellalage's father.

The 22-year-old was informed about his father's death after Sri Lanka completed a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi on Thursday to qualify for the Super Four.

Wellalage left for Sri Lanka to be with his family but returned to join the team for Saturday's match.

The left-arm spinner has 37 matches for his country across the three formats of the game.
