Match State: Match start scheduled for 0800 GMT (10:00 local)
Good Morning all for CricInfo's coverage of the Bangladesh v Sri
Lanka
In their first game Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand and are in fine
form while Bangladesh lost to a spirited Canada, newbies in the
World Cup
Bangaldesh have been struggling in recent times and should not be a
problem for Sri Lanka but in one-day cricket no one really knows,
so sit back and enjoy this match
The toss was won by Sri Lanka and they have decided to practice
chasing by putting Bdesh in to bat first
Sanath feels there is some juice in the pitch so after Bdesh lost
the toss he decided to have a go at some quick wickets, he says
Pitch is expected to be helpful at first and its again a fine day

3 to get for a professional victory for Sri Lanka
21.1 Mohammad Rafique to Jayasuriya, FOUR, waits and slams a ball on his
legs, makes room and sends it soaring a couple of bounces over the
mid wicket rope, for a fine win for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka have taken maximum points
A quick win and Bangladesh do need to look at their batsmen as they
came out playing their shots even before getting a look at the
ball
The star of the day was Chamida Vaas, picking up 6 for 25 and 3 for
Muralitharan then followed a tremendous unfinished partnership by
the SL openers who nver gave a chance to the Bdesh bowlers
SL look to be in fine shape and must be well satisfied with their
performance in the World Cup so far
So with a 10 wicket win for SL we move to the presentations
Bdesh skipper says he was disappointed with the performance but
hopes they will do well, says he is trying his best
Thinks Kapali is a goog player
Sanath, liked Vaas' performance and is happy with his form too
Says someone needs to get out to let the other batters a chance to
bat
The MoM to get watch R12,000 and its naturally Chaminda Vaas
Says he is happy and wants all the boys to perform well, boys are
playing well
With that we say goodbye and hope you will be here for tomorrows
games, the key one being India vs the Australians
