Sri Lanka won the 2nd Test by 209 runs. Bangladesh were all out for 227 in their 2nd innings, with Mehidy making 39, being the only significant score on the last day. Jayawickrama finished with 5-89 & Mendis 4-104. Slow left-arm bowler, Praveen jayawickrama was named man of the match on his Test debut, with match figures of 11-178. Karunaratne was named man of the series for his 428 runs from just 3 innings. Sri Lanka take the series 1-0.

What happens to summerr series here now? I get the feeling the series Vs India has to be at risk. Could be quite osme time before Indioan cases go down and India are due here 4th August.

^^ I think there's still a chance that it could still go ahead. With quarantines, regular testing & the strict bio-secure regulations that we adopted last year, I wouldn't rule it out.
