Sri Lanka's Spinning Sensation: Prabath Jayasuriya Leads Crushing Victory Over Bangladesh

Sri Lanka's cricket team triumphed over Bangladesh with a resounding innings and 78-run victory, thanks largely to spinner Prabath Jayasuriya's decisive five-wicket haul.

The tourists struggled on a spin-friendly Colombo pitch, failing to reach their first innings total of 247 runs, collapsing for just 133 in the second innings. This allowed Sri Lanka to secure a 1-0 win in the two-test series.

Pathum Nissanka was named player-of-the-match after scoring 158 runs, supported by Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis. Bangladesh's batting woes negated Najmul Hossain Shanto's first-test heroics, as Sri Lanka dominated the match.
