Bangladesh has lost 2 out of 3 matches so far. But their performance hasn’t been bad at all by any means.
- Bangladesh beat South Africa
- went down fighting against New Zealand.
- England humbled them with a daunting batting effort.
However, Mashrafe Mortaza and his men must still be confident for all the hard work done so far.
On the other hand -
- Sri Lanka was thrashed by NZ in the first game
- SL managed to win in a tight contest against Afghanistan
- SL Vs Pakistan match was washed out and by virtue of it, they earned the valuable one point
This is a crucial match for both the teams but the forecast in Bristol doesn't look great. Sri Lanka's last game against Pakistan here was also washed out without a ball being bowled.

Match Called-Off due to incessant rain,teams share points
The ICC World Cup 2019 match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was called off without a ball being bowled due to incessant rain at Bristol on Tuesday (June 11).
The rain forced the toss to be delayed but since there was no let up in the bad weather throughout the day, the match could not take place.
This is the third match in the tournament to be called off due to rain – making the 2019 edition of the tournament the one with the most number of washed out matches ever.
The points were shared, meaning Sri Lanka are now in 5th place in the league standing with 4 points whereas Bangladesh are 7th with 3 points.
This is the second time Sri Lanka have been forced to share the points due to rain making play impossible, with the first instance coming in their match against Pakistan on June 07,2019
Their match against Afghanistan at Cardiff was also affected by rain as the encounter was reduced to a 41-overs-a-side game, with Sri Lanka picking up the win.
This World Cup could yet see more washouts or rain-shortened games, with partial rain expected at Taunton on Wednesday when Pakistan face Australia.
India were forced to cancel their training session at Nottingham ahead of their encounter against New Zealand on Thursday and the weather forecast promises more rain on the day of the match.
