Sri Lanka complete a convincing 92-run win over Bangladesh and surge to 2nd in the points table. They play ENG and AUS next. #CWC15 #SLvBAN

Comfortable 92-run victory for Sri Lanka!

Bangladesh now require another 100 runs with 28 balls remaining. A far cry indeed!

Mahela Jayawardene now has 16 World Cup catches. Only Jayasuriya (18) and Ponting (28) have more http://t.co/ANLhz00AUu #CricinfoInsights

At the end of 40 overs, Bangladesh, with Mushfiqur Rahim (32) & Sabbir Rahman (29) at the centre, are reeling at 204/6.
