Sri Lanka complete 3-0 series sweep, hammering Bangladesh by 122 runs in the third and final ODI at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today.
Bangladesh batsmen provided little resistance, falling like ninepins to Sri Lanka bowlers’ onslaught with Soumya Sarkar playing a lone hand, scoring a team-high 69 off 86 deliveries in an otherwise dismal innings. Some late blows from Taijul, who scored 39 from 28, took Bangladesh to 172 before Rubel was the final wicket to fall. Dasun Shanaka bagged three wickets and Kasun Rajitha scalped two.
Earlier, Sri Lanka posted a formidable 294 for 8 with most of the top-order contributing to the cause. Angelo Mathews struck an 90-ball 87 while Kusal Mendis stuck 54 off 58 deliveries.
Lankan bowlers dismissed Bangladesh for 172 and Sri Lanka win by 122 runs.
