Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in an inconsequential match of the World Cup. Sri Lanka posted 279 all out, with Charith Asalanka scoring a century. However, an incident involving Angelo Mathews becoming the first international cricketer to be 'timed out' disrupted the innings. In response, Bangladesh reached the target of 282 with Najmul Hossain Shanto and captain Shakib Al Hasan making significant contributions.
