Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Group B, Match 4, SL vs BAN: Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 198 runs
Mar 21, 2007
Sri Lanka took command of Group B with a commanding 198-run victory over Bangladesh under the D/L method.
Veteran Sanath Jayasuriya blasted a dazzling 24th one-day ton with seven sixes in 109, having earlier retired hurt due to cramp after a quick single.
He resumed on 83 and passed 100 with consecutive sixes, Kumar Sangakkara and Chamara Silva adding fluent fifties.
In search of a distant 319 for victory, Bangladesh slipped to 41-5 inside 17 overs and were bowled out for 113.
Reported Earlier: Sri Lanka hammered 318 for four in 50 overs against Bangladesh in their Group B match at Trinidad on Wednesday. Sanath Jayasuriya hit his 24th one-day hundred, while Kumar Sangakkara and Chamara Silva hit half centuries.
The Bangladesh bowling attack that had troubled India no end came a croppper before the Lankan lions.
Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar won the toss against Sri Lanka and decided to bowl first in the Queens Park Oval in a Group B match in Trinidad. Bangladesh`s victory means any two of the three could go through and qualification could come down to net run rate if they are tied on points.
The young Bangladesh players were remarkably composed despite the array of big names in the Indian ranks, bowling them out for 191 before winning by five wickets on Saturday.

Group B, Match 4: Sri Lanka 318 for 4 (50.0 overs) beat Bangladesh 112 for 10 (37.0 overs) by 198 runs (DL)
Group B, Match 4, SL vs BAN: Jayawardene wary of Tigers
Mar 21, 2007
Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene has urged his team-mates to show full respect to Bangladesh in today's World Cup clash in Port of Spain.
The Tigers claimed warm-up victories over New Zealand and Scotland and then caused a shock with a five-wicket victory over India.
Sri Lanka, who opened with a 243-run win over tournament debutants Bermuda, have it all to do to stop Bangladesh winning a fourth match in a row and Jayawardene said: "They have been improving with every game and their win against India suggests that they must be taken seriously.
"We have seen what they are capable of doing and we have taken notice of their young players who are doing well."
Jayawardene said it was important for Sri Lanka to win to remove the pressure when they play their final game against India on Friday.
In Sri Lanka's favour is the fact Bangladesh have won just one of the 18 matches between the teams, and Bashar concedes his side will have to improve on their previous record against their opponents to progress.
Sri Lanka Team (from): Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Upul Tharanga, Marvan Atapattu, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Russel Arnold, Chamara Silva, Chaminda Vaas, Farveez Maharoof, Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Malinga Bandara.
Bangladesh Team (from): Habibul Bashar (capt), Shahriar Nafees, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza, Shahadat Hossain, Tapash Baisya, Syed Rasel, Rajin Saleh, Javed Omar.
