The second match of the three-match One Day International (ODI) series between Sri Lanka and the touring Bangladesh side is currently underway at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Batting first, Bangladesh were bowled out for 248 runs, setting a competitive target for the hosts. Parvez Hossain Emon led the charge with an impressive 67 off 69 deliveries, marking his maiden ODI half-century. Towhid Hridoy also made a solid contribution, scoring 51 runs from 69 balls.
Sri Lanka’s bowlers put on a disciplined performance, with pacer Asitha Fernando standing out by claiming 4 wickets for just 35 runs in his 9 overs. All-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga also played a key role, picking up 3 wickets for 60 runs in 9.5 overs.
Sri Lanka now requires 249 runs to secure victory and potentially take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
