2nd Test: Nissanka, Chandimal Help Sri Lanka Edge Ahead With 43-run Lead Vs Bangladesh

By IANS News June 26, 2025 • 21:18 PM View: 1125

Sinhalese Sports Club Ground: A sublime unbeaten 146 by opener Pathum Nissanka and his crucial 194-run second-wicket stand with Dinesh Chandimal (93) helped Sri Lanka finish Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh in firm control, reaching stumps on 290 for 2 for a lead of 43 runs at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground here on Thursday.

Nissanka scored a hundred in his second successive match after compiling a brilliant 187 in the first innings of the drawn Test of the series at Galle.

It was a dominant batting display on a surface that had caused plenty of problems for Bangladesh just a day earlier, as Sri Lanka outclassed the visitors in every department.
