On June 28, 2025, Sri Lanka secured a commanding innings and 78-run victory over Bangladesh before lunch on the fourth day of the second Test in Colombo, clinching the two-match series 1-0. The clinical performance earned crucial World Test Championship points, with Sri Lanka’s bowlers and batsmen dominating the match. Consequently, both teams now shift focus to the upcoming limited-overs series.

Bangladesh resumed day four at 115 for six, trailing by 97 runs and facing an uphill battle to avoid an innings defeat. However, left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya struck early, dismissing key batter Litton Das for 14, caught behind by Kusal Mendis, per ESPNcricinfo. The fifth-ball wicket dismantled any hopes of resistance, and Bangladesh’s innings crumbled swiftly, ending well short of Sri Lanka’s first-innings total.

Sri Lanka’s commanding 458, in response to Bangladesh’s 247, set the tone for their dominance. Opener Pathum Nissanka’s fluent 158, his second consecutive century, anchored the innings, while Dinesh Chandimal’s polished 93 built a 194-run second-wicket stand, per Cricbuzz. Although Bangladesh claimed three quick wickets with the second new ball, Kusal Mendis’ counterattacking 84 ensured a 211-run lead, per BBC Sport.

Jayasuriya, wicketless in the first innings, redeemed himself with critical breakthroughs, supported by Sri Lanka’s disciplined attack. Bangladesh failed to produce a single fifty, a stark contrast to their drawn first Test in Galle, where captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored twin centuries, per The Daily Star. The docile Colombo pitch offered little help, yet Bangladesh’s batting faltered under pressure.

The victory strengthens Sri Lanka’s World Test Championship standing, while Bangladesh regroups for three ODIs and three T20Is, starting soon, per The Island. Public reactions on X, including posts by @SLCricket, praised Nissanka’s form, though sentiment remains inconclusive. As Sri Lanka builds momentum, the limited-overs leg promises intense competition, with both teams eager to assert dominance.
