Sri Lanka will aim to seal the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in the decider in Chattogram as they take on the hosts in the second game starting Saturday, March 30. A joint-third spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) points table beckons both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as they fight it out in the second and the final Test. Bangladesh will aim for a better show with both bat and ball after being outplayed by Sri Lanka in the series opener as the visitors won by a colossal margin of 328 runs.
Skipper Dhananjaya de Silva led from the front smashing a century in both innings as did Kamindu Mendis as the duo became only the third pair in the history of Test cricket to score hundreds in both innings of a game together. Bangladesh will need their big players to stand up, especially with the bat including skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das, as both fell cheaply in both innings. With the series and WTC points on line, it promises to be a cracker.
