Sri Lanka into final
Sri Lanka booked their place in the final of the Asia Cup with a 158-run victory over Bangladesh.
Jayasuriya blazed to his 26th ODI century in typically bullish fashion, top scoring with 130 off just 88 deliveries, while Sangakkara held the Sri Lankan innings together with a solid 121 as Sri Lanka piled on 332 for eight after opting to bat first.
Muralitharan (five for 31) then carved through the Bangladesh order, allowing just 31 runs from 10 overs as the Sri Lankans bossed the Super Four encounter in Karachi. Bangladesh were dismissed for 174, with Raqibul Hasan (52) and Mohammed Nazimuddin (47) providing some resistance.
Sri Lanka will face either hosts Pakistan or India in Sunday's final.
