The second day of the second 3-day game resumed play after the first day’s headlines were all about Rehan Peiris.
On day one Sri Lankan skipper Kithma Vidanapathirana won the all-important toss and elected to bat first. Justifying his decision to bat first the Sri Lankan batting unit put on a well-composed effort with the bat posting a very decent score of 304 runs.

Rehan Peris being the highest run-getter for Sri Lanka scored 139 runs. Navodya Samarasinghe and Senuja Wekunugoda also made valuable contributions by scoring 48 and 30 runs respectively.
This morning, Bangladesh in reply came out with a well-organized plan, scoring runs without being troubled much. Adrito Ghosh top scored with 87 runs while opening batter Ridoy Hossain made a well-compiled 55 runs.
Sri Lanka didn’t have much to celebrate with the ball in hand, as only skipper Vidanapathirana managed to grab two wickets, while Abheeth Paranawidana, Kalana Subashana, and Rasith Nimsara picked up a wicket apiece.
