On June 7, the tie between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was abandoned without a ball being bowled, while on Monday, the match between South Africa and West Indies had to be called off after just 7.3 overs into the first innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka are now placed fifth in the points tally with four points from four matches, while Bangladesh are in the seventh position with three points from four outings.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh, meanwhile, are sweating over the fitness of star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who was a doubtful starter for Tuesdaty&#39;s fixture after picking up a thigh injury during training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Sri Lanka, veteran pacer Lasith Malinga would leave for home now only to return for the team&#39;s next game against Australia on June 15.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Lasith Malinga will leave the team as his mother-in-law has passed away. He is expected to join the team before its next #CWC19 game against Australia on 15th,&quot; Sri Lanka Cricket tweeted.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
