IMAGES from the ICC World Cup match played between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, in New Delhi, on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl against Sri Lanka in New Delhi and what a start it was for the Bangladeshis!<\/p>\n

In the very first over Shoriful Islam induced an edge from Kusal Perera’s bat and he was caught behind for 4.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The other opener Pathum Nissanka and captain Kusal Mendis then fought back nicely with Nissanka finding the boundaries while giving the bad balls the treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mendis took time to get going and took 14 balls to get off the mark. <\/p>\n

He was finally dismissed for 19 off 30, hitting just one four and a maximum. Mendis chipped the ball to long on, handing Shakib al Hasan his first wicket and Bangladesh their 2nd.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nissanka followed soon after as he played the ball on to his stumps, Tanzim Hasan getting the big wicket. Nissanka was bowled out 9 short of his half-century. Sri Lanka were tottering at 72 for 3 after 13 overs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka then kept the scoreboard moving, dealing in singles and twos.<\/p>\n

Asalanka also hammered two sixes, while Samarawickrama hit spinner Mehidy Hasan for a couple of boundaries in the 19th over. <\/p>\n

Bangladesh also lost a review as Samarawickrama was given not out for an LBW appeal. Shakib took the review but the ball tracking showed the ball would have missed the leg stump.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka were 113 for 3 after 20 overs.<\/p>\n
