A Bangladesh win will knock out India from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka were in deep trouble at 32 for three in 10 overs before Chamara Kapugedera (62), Lahiru Thirimanne (48) and Upul Tharanga (48) took the team to a fighting total. <\/p>\n<p>Medium pacer Nazmul Hossain (3\/32) removed Sri Lanka&#8217;s high-profile top-order while left-arm spinners Abdur Razzak (2\/44) and <a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=Shakib+Al+Hasan&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all#content\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=Shakib+Al+Hasan&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all#content\">Shakib Al Hasan<\/a> (2\/56) were effective in the middle overs. <\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka are already out of the competition after losing to India and Pakistan. <\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh, electing to field, looked a team with a purpose. Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene (5) missed a straight one off Hossain to be bowled in the fourth over while opening partner Tillakaratne Dilshan (19) played on attempting a cut shot. Kumar Sangakkara (6) also fell while trying to hit on the up, getting caught at extra cover. <\/p>\n<p>Kapudgedera then forged partnerships with Thirimanne and Tharanga, sharing 88 and 49 runs for the fourth and fifth wicket.<\/p>\n<p>Both Kapugedera and Thirimanne had to work hard for every run against the Bangladesh spinners. Kapudera&#8217;s 92-ball innings saw only four boundaries while the Southpaw consumed 73 balls, hitting just three fours. <\/p>\n<p>With Thirimanne back in the hut at 120 for four, Tharanga came out with an aggressive intent. He scored at more than a run a ball, striking five fours and a six.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Mirpur<\/strong>: Bangladeshi bowlers pulled out a superb performance to restrict Sri Lanka to 232 in a must-win <a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=Asia+Cup&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all#content\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=Asia+Cup&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all#content\">Asia Cup<\/a> tie at the Shere Bangla National Stadium here Tuesday.
