Sri Lanka, Bangladesh Play Out Draw In Mathews' Final Test Match
World Test Championship: The opening Test of the 2025–27 World Test Championship cycle between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at Galle ended in a tense draw, with Sri Lanka managing to bat out 32 overs in the final session and finish at 72/4.
Though the result may seem straightforward on paper, it was far from uneventful, as Bangladesh pushed hard with the ball, and Sri Lanka weathered the storm just in time.
Chasing a theoretical target of 296 from 37 overs, Sri Lanka never seriously looked to go after the runs, but their path to safety wasn’t smooth either. They lost four wickets in the final session, with Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan exploiting the sharply turning surface expertly. Taijul was Bangladesh’s standout bowler, finishing with 3 for 23, including the key scalps of Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal in quick succession.
