Sri Lanka Clinches Series with Dominant Victory

Sri Lanka completed a convincing win over Bangladesh in the second Test, securing the two-match series 1-0. The hosts wrapped up the match by an innings and 78 runs, with Bangladesh folding for 133 in their second innings.

Prabath Jayasuriya Leads the Way

Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya picked up 5 for 56, his sixth five-wicket haul in Test cricket. He removed three batters on the final morning, including Litton Das who fell to an outside edge.

Sri Lanka's Batters Set the Tone

The foundation of Sri Lanka's win was laid by their batters. Pathum Nissanka led the way with a sparkling 158, while Dinesh Chandimal (93) and Kusal Mendis (84) ensured the lead swelled beyond 200.

Bangladesh's Collapse

Bangladesh never looked in control in their second innings, and after a flurry of wickets on Day 3, the end came swiftly on the fourth morning. Litton's dismissal triggered the final collapse, with Nayeem Hasan falling to a smart stumping and Taijul Islam chipping one back to Jayasuriya.
