Sri Lanka created an unwanted record as they were bundled out for 55 runs..

The collapse of Sri Lanka's batting meant they were bowled out for their lowest World Cup total breaking the earlier one which was in 1975 against West Indies in which they scored 86 runs..

Bumrah bowled two wides to give Sri Lanka their first runs, but at the start of the next over Siraj had Dimuth Karunaratne, the other opening batsman, lbw for nought as well..
