Everything has gone wrong for Sri Lanka.
They opted to bat first - wrong move. Then, tried to charge the bowlers on a pitch that suits a shorter length, then promoted Hasaranga for no reason.
South Africa have had a perfect game, and all was laid on a plate for them by the Lankans.
New York pitch will actually suit Bangladesh. Time to hope?
