Sri Lanka Fight Back Late After Rahim, Litton's Show On Rainy Day
Sri Lanka Cricket: What began as a continuation of Bangladesh's batting dominance on Day 2 at Galle turned sharply in the final session, as Sri Lanka clawed their way back into the contest with a flurry of wickets following a rain delay. At stumps, Bangladesh were 484 for the loss of 9 wickets — a significant total, but one that could have been even more imposing given their earlier position of strength.
The day belonged largely to three of Bangladesh’s seasoned campaigners — Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Litton Das — who collectively amassed 401 runs and constructed two commanding partnerships: 264 between Shanto and Mushfiqur, and 149 between Mushfiqur and Litton. By tea, Bangladesh looked set for a declaration-style score, possibly in the region of 600, with Mushfiqur inching closer to a double-century.
But the game turned dramatically after a two-hour rain interruption late in the afternoon. With moisture reintroduced to the surface, the pitch offered just enough for Sri Lanka’s bowlers, and seamer Milan Rathnayake took full advantage. The pacer, who had bowled tirelessly earlier with little success, suddenly found rhythm and reward, finishing with figures of 3 for 38 in 22.4 overs.
