Shafiul Islam's injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Bangladesh as his replacement, Nazmul Hossain, rattled Sri Lanka's top order with three wickets and gave them the early caffeine boost needed to go on to win this game and seal their place in the final. Chamara Kapugedera and Lahiru Thirimanne began a steady rebuilding process, but not quite at the pace required to threaten a big score
Bangladesh came out with a sense of purpose, fielding with intent after winning the toss. Mushfiqur Rahim spoke at the toss of trying to restrict Sri Lanka to a small total, despite the recent run of high scores in this tournament. The difference here is that Sri Lanka's batting has struggled for confidence, with their top order failing to convert starts.
