Sri Lanka secured a resounding victory in the Test series against Bangladesh, triumphing 1-0 after a decisive performance in Colombo. The hosts showcased their prowess by winning the second Test by an innings and 78 runs, a strong comeback after a drawn first Test in Galle. Bangladesh, despite batting first, failed to replicate their previous form, managing only 247 runs in their first innings. Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka shone with a brilliant 158, supported by Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis, leading to a substantial first-innings lead. Prabath Jayasuriya’s outstanding five-wicket haul in the second innings crippled Bangladesh’s batting, paving the way for a comprehensive victory. Sri Lanka wrapped up the win on the fourth morning, demonstrating clinical performance with both bat and ball. This win will boost Sri Lanka’s confidence, while Bangladesh will need to reassess after a disappointing display.
