SRI LANKA BLITZ BANGLADESH

Despite hoping for another upset, Bangladesh were overwhelmed by Sanath Jayasuriya and a confident Sri Lankan side is the Group B clash in Port-of-Spain. The match was, for all practical purposes, sewn up when Sri Lanka scored 318 after being put in to bat, but even the second half, interrupted by rain as it was, gave Bangladesh little hope as they caved in to a 198-run loss.

Final Score:
Sri Lanka: (4 wickets; 50 overs) 318
Bangladesh: (all out; 37 overs, D-L system) 112

HIGHLIGHTS

SRI LANKA
Sanath Jayasuriya 109 (off 87 balls)
Kumar Sangakkara 56
Chamara Silva 52 not out
Lasith Malinga 3 for 27

BANGLADESH
Mohammad Ashraful 45 not out
