Bangladesh suffered a premature exit after failing to defend a modest total against a dominant opponent.

Posting just 160 runs on the board, the batting unit never generated enough momentum to trouble the opposition bowlers.

The target was always within reach for the chasing side, who strolled home comfortably with plenty of overs and wickets to spare.

Key performances with both bat and ball sealed the fate of the match, ending Bangladesh's campaign in decisive fashion.

With this commanding victory, the victors advance to set up a high-stakes final showdown against Zimbabwe.
