Bangladesh Crumble to Innings and 78-Run Defeat in Colombo
Bangladesh’s hopes of saving the Colombo Test were dashed in humiliating fashion on the final morning at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground. Resuming at 115 for 6, the visitors could not even last half an hour in the first session, losing their remaining four wickets in just 34 deliveries while adding only 18 runs to the total.
This collapse sealed an innings-and-78-run defeat for Bangladesh—another heavy loss on Sri Lankan soil.
Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya was the chief destroyer, claiming 5 wickets in the second innings to complete Sri Lanka’s dominant win.
