He was out in the 28th over, caught at deep extra cover by Tamim Iqbal off leg spinner Alok Kapali.
It was his fourth hundred against Bangladesh."It is absolutely amazing to watch Sanath play, he has shown he still has the hunger for runs," Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jaywardene told Officials.
Sangakkara fell in the 45th over, his 121 compiled from 128 balls with 16 fours and one six. It was the 10th hundred of his career.Bangladesh wilted under the pressure and they had only two partnerships of substance.Opener Nazimuddin made 47 from 59 balls, hitting seven fours and one six, and Raquibul Hasan top scored with 52 from 63 balls.Nazim put on 43 with Mohammad Ashraful (14) and a further 43 for the third wicket with Hasan, who made his fourth 50.Bangladesh lost five wickets for 62 in a middle-order slump and lost their last eight wickets for 78 runs.
Hasan went after making his fourth half-century from 63 balls when he was caught at slip by Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene.
