Jayasuriya Takes 5 Wickets as Sri Lanka Crushes Bangladesh by an Innings and 78 Runs in 2nd Test
Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took his 12th five-wicket haul in test cricket to lead Sri Lanka to a dominating win over Bangladesh by an innings and 78 runs in the second cricket test and a 1–0 series victory in the two-match series.
The fourth day started with Bangladesh struggling on 115 for six, needing 97 more runs to make Sri Lanka bat again.

Bangladesh was all out for 133 in its second innings, having made 247 in the first. Sri Lanka scored 458 in its first innings, dominated by a brilliant century from opener Pathum Nissanka and backed up by half-centuries from Dinesh Chandimal (93) and Kusal Mendis (84).
Litton Das (14) edged Jayasuriya to wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis with one run added to the overnight score. Jayasuriya lured Nayeem Hasan (5) for a drive, and he was stumped by Kusal Mendis. Jayasuriya caught Taijul Islam (6) off his own bowling, while off-spin bowler Tharindu Rathnayake ended the game trapping Ebadot Hossain (6) lbw.
Jayasuriya finished the innings with 5–56. Captain Dhananjaya de Silva and Rathnayake took two wickets each. The first test in Galle ended in a draw.
