On Thursday, it was the Sri Lanka of the yore as they hammered the Bangladesh bowlers with disdain and took command of the game at the MCG. For once, it proved to be great toss to win for Angelo Mathews, who took the first chance to bat. They began well and after the fall of the first wicket, did even better. Tilakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara came up fine unbeaten centuries to take Sri Lanka to 332/1 in 50 overs. Of course, the Lankans also derived immense benefits from the sloppy Bangla fielding. The victory chase of 333 became too monumental for Bangladesh, especially against Malinga’s fiery spell, in which he gobbled up three Bangla wickets.
