Bangladesh lost yet another Test series at home. The 10-wicket mauling by a fairly inexperienced Sri Lankan side on the final day of the second Test in Mirpur yesterday meant that the Tigers have now lost all the five Test series played against Sri Lanka at home, including the 1-0 series defeat in the latest one. 

There was not any significant difference between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in terms of international experience as the two subcontinental rivals locked horns in a two-match Test series within the past two weeks.

Sri Lanka kept their record of winning every Test series in Bangladesh intact with a comprehensive 10-wicket victory over the Tigers in the second Test of the two-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon backed the Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque and said that his captaincy is not something the management is worried about.

Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo mentioned that the tailor-made pitches in the past at home has hurt the Tigers' improvement in the long run and the South African also urged to create sporting pitches to enhance performance in the longest format of the game.

Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo said that it is not possible to win Tests after suffering horrible batting collapses as the Tigers did in the recently-concluded home Test series against Sri Lanka. 

It all came crumbling down for Bangladesh just after Lunch on the fifth and final day of their series-deciding Test against Sri Lanka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today. 

Premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has taken himself to a new height as he has bagged a five-wicket haul and also scored a fifty in a Test on 10 occasions, the second most after legendary all-rounder Ian Botham of England. 

Despite the early dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh kept on fighting with Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das providing the stability on the final day of their series-deciding Test against Sri Lanka in Mirpur today. 

Sri Lanka got the breakthrough they were looking for early on the final day of their series-deciding Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur today.

“Not only me, all six batters need to perform because, given the situation, they will definitely attack and we need to survive the first hour and not lose wickets before lunch.

Bangladesh once again dug themselves into a hole just when it seemed that the second and series-deciding Test match against Sri Lanka may end in a draw as their fragile top-order made even saving the Test match on the fifth and final day an extremely difficult task.

Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque has been in the firing line in recent times following his below-par performance with the bat, and the left-hander once again failed miserably in the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka in Mirpur.

Premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan said that Bangladesh are one of the fittest teams in Tests. 

Bangladesh batters have brought back the fresh, traumatic memories for their fans as the hosts repeated a disastrous start in their second innings on day four of the Dhaka Test today.

Bangladesh bowlers have something to smile about after a tiresome day in the field on day four of the second Test of the two-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal was the latest to pull off three figures for his side after Angelo Mathews scored his second century of the two-match test series against hosts Bangladesh as the visitors keep gaining momentum on day four of the Dhaka Test today.

Bangladesh may not have an impressive Test records in the last 15 Test they played, having won only three matches where two of them came against the lowly ranked Zimbabwe. However, two Bangladesh batters have been exceptional during this period and find themselves on top in two separate lists.

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees, slapped with a demerit point as well, for throwing the ball at Angelo Mathews even though the Sri Lanka batter was safe inside his crease and was not even looking to take a run.

Since rain played foul, washing out over two hours of the third days’ play in the second and series deciding Test, Bangladesh will be eyeing to remove in-form Angelo Matthews on the fourth day. Mathews has reached a fifty and will hold the key for Sri Lanka as they look to take a first-innings lead for the visitors today.
