Sri Lanka finished their innings at 143/4 in 26.5 overs.
Hasini Perera scored a half-century (65 off 81 balls) and Nilakshi de Silva contributed 22 runs.
Bangladesh's Marufa Akter took the first wicket, dismissing Vishmi Gunaratne, while Rabeya Khan and Nahida Akter took one wicket each.
Bangladesh's fielding was poor, dropping Perera twice.
Bangladesh relies on their unique leg-spin trio, including Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan and Shorna Akter. Why This Matters: The match outcome is crucial for both teams' chances of advancing in the tournament. Bangladesh’s strategy hinges on their diverse leg-spin attack, while Sri Lanka aimed to capitalize on their batting performance.
Sri Lanka's innings saw an early setback with Gunaratne's dismissal off the first ball. A 72-run partnership between Athapaththu and Perera stabilized the innings, but quick wickets put Sri Lanka under pressure. Perera's innings, marked by dropped catches, and de Silva's late hitting helped Sri Lanka reach a defendable total. Bangladesh's bowling, led by Akter and supported by a trio of leg-spinners, aimed to restrict Sri Lanka. Bangladesh's success depends on how well their batting lineup can chase the score set by Sri Lanka.
