- ...Presentation next...
- Mehidy was the star for them but the target was way too much. For Lanka, Kamindu Mendis and Lahiru Kumara were excellent. They picked 7 in total and have given their side a massive win yet again.
- In the second innings, it was a good effort from the Bangladesh bowlers to pick wickets at regular intervals but despite that, Sri Lanka's massive lead always meant they were well ahead in the game. They set a target of over 500 for the hosts which was always going to be a big task but they put up a really good batting display.
- In reply, it was yet another sorry display from the hosts with the bat as they finished with below 200. Asitha Fernando was the pick of the bowler with a four-fer but he was well-supported by the rest too. They managed to get a massive lead and chose to bat yet again.
- Yet another easy win for Lanka and they have completely outplayed the hosts in this series. First it was a combined batting effort from them in the first innings where both the Mendis scored 90s to take their side over 500-run mark.
