Pakistan v Zimbabwe is dealt with elsewhere. The other match of the day was Sri Lanka v Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka were on the sort of form that has to mark them out as contenders for this year's title, as they powered their way to a 198-run win. Batting first, Sanath Jayasuriya's 109 led the charge for Sri Lanka against a Bangaldesh bowling attack that seemed toothless - especially compared to their display against India. Sri Lanka ran up 318/5 from their overs, while Bangladesh ran into early trouble in their innings with wickets dropped regularly and often - only 3 players hit double figures. A rain delay didn't save them, either - just gave them a 4-over reduction to the torture, as they were bowled out for just 112 in 37 overs. The result leaves Group B wide open, with it looking very possible that India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka could each finish on 4 points, leaving Net Run Rate to decide who goes through to the Super Eight.
