Bangladesh end six-match losing streak with Sri Lanka win

Delhi, India, 6 Nov- Bangladesh put a stop to their six-match losing streak with a three-wicket wicket win over Sri Lanka in their ICC World Cup fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored a 101-ball 90 and Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan smashed a 65-ball 82 to help their side to only their second victory of the tournament. The duo put on a 169-run stand for the third wicket, Bangladesh first 100-plus partnership of the tournament and their highest-ever for the third wicket, which helped trump their late hiccup that saw Bangladesh lose five wickets for 72 runs. 

Sri Lanka pacer Dilshan Madushanka picked up three wickets, while Maheesh Theekshana scalped two.  The win propelled Bangladesh to seventh on the table above England, Netherlands, and Sri Lanka.
