Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Live Score Updates: BAN vs SL, Shakib al Hasan’s Bangladesh bat first at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis, who lost the toss, said he doesn’t mind batting first and will be looking to post a total of more than 300.
Bangladesh have had a terrible run at this year’s ICC Cricket World Cup, losing 6 of their 7 matches after winning their opening match against Afghanistan. In their last match against Pakistan, Bangladesh suffered a crushing defeat as the batsmen failed to put up a good total and were dismissed for 204 while the bowlers struggled to restrict runs as the total was chased down in just 32.3 overs.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had enjoyed a decent World Cup campaign before successive defeats to Afghanistan and India in their last two matches. A 302-run thrashing at the hands of India meant that the Lankans were also eliminated from the tournament and are no longer in contention for a place in the semi-finals.
While Sri Lanka have had the class of Dilshan Madushanka, one of the tournament’s leading wicket-takers, their other bowlers have looked relatively pale. The humiliating defeat to India in their last encounter will also be fresh in the minds of the Lankan batsmen, who were bowled out for just 55 runs.
