Sri Lankan Team Hopes To Give Fans A 'Smile' With A Win Against Bangladesh

By AFP News May 22, 2022 • 19:47 PM View: 1317

Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood is hoping to give fans back home in the crisis-hit island nation reason for cheer with a win over Bangladesh in the second and final Test beginning Monday.

The first Test in Chittagong ended in a draw, and the visitors are aiming to win the second -- and the series -- in Dhaka to send some good news to Sri Lanka, which is suffering from its worst economic downturn since independence in 1948.
