Bangladesh battle Sri Lanka, bleak weather a concern

Bangladesh take on Sri Lanka, and both teams will take on the weather. Bristol has already witnessed a washout, and that too involved Sri Lanka and this match could well follow that route. However, weather is fickle and no one can quite control it, which makes this clash between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh very interesting.
