Spinners Take Centerstage As Sri Lanka Inch Closer To An Innings Victory
Mendis’ composed 84 helped the hosts extend their lead to 211, while Bangladesh’s second innings crumbled in the face of relentless spin, closing the day still 96 runs adrift and with just four wickets in hand.
The morning began with Bangladesh sensing an opportunity to claw their way back. Pathum Nissanka, who had anchored Sri Lanka’s innings with a majestic 150, fell early when he chipped Taijul Islam to short cover, departing to a standing ovation.
