India, Feb. 12 -- Mohammad Nadeem took 52 balls to become the oldest player to score a half-century at 40, beating the record of Sanath Jayasuriya but barring that Oman had nothing write home about as Sri Lanka crushed them by 105 runs in Pallekele on Thursday to push them closer to a group stage exit.

Oman optimistically opted to bowl and it was fine until Sri Lanka started freeing up and took a toll on some really ordinary bowling.

Captain Dasun Shanaka scored a 19-ball 50, rewriting his own record for the fastest T20 half-century for Sri Lanka, Kusal Mendis got to 61 in 45 balls and Pavan Rathnayake scored 60 in 28 balls, 24 of them to reach his fifty as Sri Lanka posted 225, their second highest score in T20 World Cup history.
