Sri Lanka has won this match by 5 wickets.

It's an easy win for sirilankan team although Bangladesh bowler done a good job the the target were not enough to defend for thier bowler, Bangladesh can scored more than a current target but unfortunately no one stick long on a ground and due to insufficient partnership they unable to scored a big target like 250 around which could be a defendable target at sirilankan condition.
But anyway still Bangladesh has opportunity to comback stronger as they will face India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal. So they have alot opportunity but if they know how to utilize it properly by shuffling some player which really boost them against thier upcoming opponents.

The fact is that the Bangladeshi bowlers did not bowl worse than the Sri Lankan bowlers but the run target for Bangladesh was very insignificant which was not possible for the Bangladeshi bowlers to control at all.

If the batting of Bangladesh could have given a run target above 250 then it would have been possible for the Bangladeshi bowlers to control it. However, it has become difficult to confirm Bangladesh's knockout stage.
Sri Lanka must beat Afghanistan and Bangladesh must draw with Afghanistan. This equation will become much tougher for Bangladesh as currently Bangladesh is in worse form than Afghanistan.
