It's a battle to stay in the top-eight spots as Asian neighbors Bangladesh and Sri Lanka clash in the ICC ODI World Cup. This match #38 will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday with Bangladesh on two points and in ninth position, while Sri Lanka are 7th with four points. Bangladesh were the first team to be eliminated from the semi-final race with six straight losses. Their tournament opener against Afghanistan that they won by six wickets is now looking like a distant memory. While their seedling hopes are already vanquished, they can at best look at qualifying in the top-eight. With two games in hand, they can get to six points at best in the tournament. Yet, with their last game against Australia, Bangladesh will be mindful of leaving it late in the tournament.

Sri Lanka have two points more than Bangladesh, but are coming off a humiliating 302-run loss to India. That game saw the Islanders concede 357 and then fold out for just 55 in under 20 overs. The shocking collapse was so hard that the morality in the camp must have hit a low. That should spark the Lankan side though, who knows that they can't afford another loss to Bangladesh. Recent history suggests that Sri Lanka have enjoyed playing their neighbors and should fancy their chances here. They have won all three completed World Cup matches as well against Bangladesh, giving them further hope they can turn things around.
