Charith Asalanka's century went in vain as Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in an inconsequential match of the World Cup in Delhi on Monday. The Bangla Tigers managed to end their 6-match losing streak and defeated the Islanders.
The win saw Bangladesh climb to 7th in the table as Sri Lanka slipped to 8th spot and out of the ICC Champions Trophy qualifying places.
Bangladesh were already out of contention for the top 4 spots and have knocked the 2011 runners-up Sri Lanka from the tournament as well.
Sri Lanka are followed by the Netherlands and England in the table who are yet to play their 8th match in the World Cup.
