Jayasuriya ensured there was no such reprieve, striking in his first over of the day by dismissing Litton Das for 14. He continued to weave his web around the batters, removing Nayeem Hasan and Taijul Islam in successive overs. Tharindu Ratnayake applied the finishing touch, trapping Ebadot Hossain lbw to bring Bangladesh\u2019s misery to an end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This victory was set up by a commanding all-round display from the hosts. After Bangladesh elected to bat first, they could only manage 247 in their first innings despite Shadman Islam\u2019s defiant 46. Sri Lanka\u2019s bowlers shared the spoils, with debutant Sonal Dinusha (3 for 22) and Asitha Fernando (3 for 51) leading the charge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka\u2019s batters then made Bangladesh pay. Pathum Nissanka anchored the innings with a majestic 158, supported by Kusal Mendis\u2019 breezy 84 off 87 balls and Dinesh Chandimal\u2019s measured 93. The hosts declared at a mammoth 458, establishing a 211-run lead. Taijul Islam\u2019s 5 for 131 stood out in a thankless effort for Bangladesh\u2019s bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s second innings never got going. Anamul Haque\u2019s dismissal on the stroke of tea on day three opened the floodgates. From there, the spin trio of Jayasuriya, Ratnayake and skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (2 for 24) ensured a steady procession of wickets. Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan all fell cheaply, unable to resist the relentless pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jayasuriya\u2019s performance was the cornerstone of Sri Lanka\u2019s win, showcasing his mastery of subtle variations and accuracy on a surface that increasingly aided spin. His match haul of five wickets capped another superb outing as Sri Lanka extended their unbeaten run at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s second innings never got going.
