MATCH PREVIEW
Despite their resilient performances, Bangladesh has only secured one victory so far. To stay in contention, they need to win both remaining matches against Sri Lanka and India, and hope England beats New Zealand and India for a chance at qualification.
Sri Lanka, unfortunately, lost the home advantage when two of their matches in Colombo were rained out. Additionally, uninspired performances have hindered their progress. They still have a mathematical chance to reach the semifinals but require several favorable outcomes.
