SCORECARD <\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\nHosts Bangladesh, chasing a mammoth 511 in their second innings, added just 50 after resuming on 268-7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mehidy Hasan Miraz staged a lone fight to stay unbeaten on 81 after completing his sixth Test half-century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With a Sri Lankan triumph all but inevitable when the day began, Mehidy played some positive strokes to bring up his fifty off 68 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He lost overnight partner Taijul Islam for 14 when the batsman drove off-spinner Kamindu Mendis to Nishan Madushka at gully.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kamindu finished with 3-32 to go with his unbeaten 92 with the bat in the first innings, earning him the man of the match award.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He was also named player of the series after scoring a hundred in both innings of the first Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The bowlers did their basics on this wicket and the batters did their job as well," Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The batters were a bit disappointed about not getting runs in the first Test, but we have experienced players. I was confident they would get runs," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"There wasn't a lot of spin on offer. So I thought about reverse swing as a way to get wickets. The pacers were really on the spot."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sri Lankan pacers accounted for 33 of the 40 Bangladesh wickets to fall, a rare feat on Bangladesh's generally spin-friendly pitches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said the home side's poor showing for the red-ball series would provoke some soul-searching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"If you look at our batting, everyone got set but didn't get a big score. That's something to think about," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"If you get set, you have to make a score. We have to play more first-class cricket."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sri Lanka won the first Test in Sylhet by 328 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They also triumphed in the three-match T20 series 2-1 but lost the one-day international series by the same margin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
