Sri Lanka moved within a touch distance from the victory of the Clinching series on 3. The dominant branding performance followed by Spin Wizardry left Bangladesh, which in their second shifts became 96 runs with only six gates.
After published the commanding 456 in their first shifts – Power from Pathum Nissan 158 and Swift 84 from Kusal Mendis – the hosts released a tireless attack that broke the backbone of the Bangladesh bats.
SL vs Ban, 2. Test day 3: The most important
Bangladesh had a short -term recovery at the morning meeting thanks to the double strike of Taijul Islam, which removed Nissanka and Sri Lankan Dhananjaya de Silva. Sri Lanka, however, quickly regained control. Kamindu Mendis played a handy knocking before he fell just before lunch, while Kusal Mendis took the lead with a rush of border and intelligent rotation of the strike.
After lunch, Kusal raised fifty in a quick time and kept the score. Tharind Ratnayake at the other end contributed several valuable runs – including six to open the test scoring – before he was released and tried to repeat the shot. Kusal’s adventure run ended his shifts at 84, ran and tried to push for a moment. Despite the loss of the goal, Sri Lanka added practical runs, the total number of 456 and stretching of the line around 200.
In the face of the daunting goal, Bangladeshi opening showed an early intention, but could not keep it. Anamul Haque fell on the last ball in front of the tea and from there began a collapse. Jayasuriya refused Shadman Islam right after the break and Dhananjaya de Silva soon sent back Mominul Haque and hired Hossain Shanto in quick succession.
Jayasuriya returned to the Mushfiqur Rahim bowl through the gate, and Tharind Ratnayake had Mehida Hasan Miraz to imprison LBW just before the stumps and ended another gate. Bangladeshi hopes now hang under the thread with only four goals in hand and Sri Lanka in full control.
If visitors do not find the unlikely resistance from the tail, Sri Lanka is ready to finish 2-0 white in front of the domestic crowd, watching their team dominating three consecutive days.
