Sri Lanka Bounce Back With Huge Win Over Bangladesh

18 September 2007

Sri Lanka responded to their defeat to Pakistan by defeating Bangladesh by 64 runs in their Super Eight Group F encounter at Johannesburg.

Bangladesh bowled well to restrict their Asian rivals to 147 for 5, with five bowlers picking up a wicket and Jehan Mubarak top scoring with 31 not out before Bangladesh collapsed to 83 all out.

Sanath Jayasuriya took two for 5 as Sri Lanka reignited their tournament hopes and set up what is effectively a quarter-final clash with Australia in two day's time.
