SRI Lanka won the second test against Bangladesh by 465 runs yesterday for the fifth largest victory by runs, winning the series 2-0 after allrounder Tillakaratne Dilshan took four wickets to add to his century in each innings.
Dilshan, who scored 162 and 143, took 4-10 in 4.2 overs to help dismiss Bangladesh for 158 with a day to spare after a 92-run sixth-wicket stand between Mushfiqur Rahim (43) and Shakib Al Hasan (46) took the hosts to 144-6 in the unlikely pursuit of 624.
Al Hasan was stumped by Prasanna Jayawardene off Dilshan, who then trapped Mehrab Hossain lbw for 5. He then had Mashrafe bin Mortaza caught behind for 0 and followed it up by clean bowling Shahadat Hossain for 1 at Chittagong Divisional Stadium.
Earlier, Sri Lanka declared on 447-6 at lunch with Thilan Samaraweera (77) and Chamara Kapugedera (59 not out) scoring half centuries and add to Dilshan's hundred and Kumar Sangakkara's 54.
Bangladesh had lost both opening batsmen by the time the score was 22. Unorthodox finger spinner Ajantha Mendis had Imrul Kayes caught at first slip by Mahela Jayawardene for 5 and Tamim Iqbal was caught behind for 17 off Chaminda Vaas.
Mendis dismissed Junaid Siddique lbw for 4 before having Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful caught behind for 7 and ultimately finished with figures of 3-57. Dilhara Fernando then bowled Raqibul Hasan for 10 to leave the hosts at 52-5.
Sri Lanka had resumed the day on 296-4 and Al Hasan made an early breakthrough for Bangladesh, trapping Samaraweera lbw to end his 145-run partnership with Dilshan.
Dilshan then batted with Kapugedara to complete his seventh test century before being bowled by Enamul Haque for 143. Dilshan's hundred came off 130 balls and included 11 boundaries.
Sri Lanka won the first test in Dhaka by 107 runs.
