Sri Lanka lost four wickets and collected 314 runs. I think a very good performance from the Sri Lanka team, because the target of 314 runs seems too big for Bangladesh so far. As Bangladesh were bowled out for 188 runs in the first innings in the first Test match and scored 182 runs in the second innings. The Bangladesh team lost the first test match by a margin of 328 runs, so the target of 314 runs that they have collected so far is big for Bangladesh. Hasan Mahmood, one of Bangladesh's bowlers is performing well, unique bowlers are not performing well because of them, Sri Lanka team is getting chance to score runs.
Bangladesh team lost the first test match against Sri Lanka very badly due to batting failure in the first test match against Sri Lanka. The way the bowlers of Bangladesh have bowled in the second test match, it seems that Sri Lanka can give Bangladesh a lead of almost 400 runs. If Bangladesh is given a lead of 400 runs in the second test match, Bangladesh is going to lose the second test match by a big margin like the first test match because of the lack of reliable batsmen. Bangladesh team does not have a batsman worthy of reliable so it is not expected for Bangladesh team that Bangladesh team can win the second test match by taking a huge lead and now let's see how well the bowlers of Bangladesh can bowl on the second day.

Poor Bangladesh lost a good toss here and now paying the price, atm it looks like a belter of a pitch and for Bongs it'll be a long tiring day at work, possibly 5 full sessions of hard work.
Sri Lanka will score almost 500 runs if they can play two more sessions tomorrow before getting all out. And then Bangladesh will get all out twice within the next five sessions to lose the match by an innings. This is what we can expect from Bangladeshi players in test format now. Unexpected things may happen if the batsmen of Bangladesh play with responsibility 
.If Sri Lanka can bat tomorrow with the first and second session wickets intact, then it is not possible for Bangladesh to achieve this target in two innings if the target is above 500 runs. So I as a fan and citizen of Bangladesh feel that Bangladesh is losing to Sri Lanka in this second Test.

The Sri Lankan team won the toss and decided to bat first. The batsmen are batting well. The way the Sri Lankan batsmen are batting, they seem to give Bangladesh a huge run lead in the second test match. Bangladesh bowlers are not able to bowl well against Sri Lanka, the way the Sri Lankan team is batting, it seems that the second test match will probably be out of Bangladesh's reach, or Bangladesh will not be able to win the second test match against Sri Lanka. In the first test match we saw Bangladesh's batting disaster against Sri Lanka but in the second test match the Bangladesh bowlers are not performing very well. And let's doubt whether the batsmen of Bangladesh will be able to pass so many runs. The current score of the Sri Lankan team is 314 runs for 4 wickets in 90 overs.
The Sri Lankan team lost four wickets, with four players performing at their best in four wickets. Kushal Mendis, Karulanatne, Nishan Madushka were the three players who performed the best and got out. The first-class four players in batting form were so aggressive in their performance that they amassed 314 runs on the second day, hitting the Bangladesh bowlers hard. In this way, if in the end they can protect the wicket and perform well, then surely they can collect 470 plus runs and can beat the Bangladesh team very easily. The batsmen of the Sri Lankan team are batting very patiently and performed better in the second match than in the first match.

Bangladesh bowlers are not bowling very well today especially today Sri Lanka have lost four wickets and three wickets are in possession of spinners barring one run out. Bangladesh fast bowlers can collect one wicket in today's match but Sri Lankan batsmen are dealing brilliantly with the Bangladesh bowlers and Sri Lanka collected 314 runs for the loss of 4 wickets on the first day. Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh returned to the match after a long time but his bowling was not very good in the beginning today but at the end he bowled brilliantly in the two sessions and managed to pick up some wickets. But we wanted to expect better from Bangladesh today but Bangladesh failed to deliver that.
Bangladesh is the worst performance team in test format what we see the previous match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka I would like to say that in this match there will also gonna lose. On the others and fast innings Sri Lanka did well batting they didn't lose much wicket they have 6 wicket I think there will cross 400 run easily hats off to demouth Karunaratne and kusal mendis. Dhananjaya still on strike we expect higher target for Bangladesh. [
Bangladesh bowlers bowled well in the first test but they are not able to bowl well in the second test. Hasan Mahmud has taken only 1 wicket. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can give a lead.

Shakib has yet to bowl long spells, maybe because it's a first day pitch or after a break his bowling arm is not in good shape for the long haul.
Shakib's long absence from the field is taking its toll today and so far Shakib has not picked up any wickets but conceded 35 runs in six overs which is an economical rate in ODI style.Shakib has yet to bowl long spells, maybe because it's a first day pitch or after a break his bowling arm is not in good shape for the long haul.
As a Bangladeshi, I have witnessed many matches where Bangladesh became a batting pitch when bowling and a complete bowling pitch when batting. Now, Sri Lanka is not able to make wickets fall in Bangladesh but when Bangladesh bats, they will lose wickets every over.
No Sri Lankan batsman has scored a century so far but average they are batting well so the run score will lose 350 plus at the end of today.

In today's 2nd Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka team came out to bat in the 1st Innings. They scored 125 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 38 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Nishan Madushka was dismissed for 57 runs off 105 balls. Dimuth Karunaratne 44 off 85 balls. Kusal Mendis scored 22 runs from 41 balls. Bangladesh team bowling line started to perform poorly. Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled 13 overs and could not take any wicket with 45 runs. Shakib Al Hasan gave 13 runs from 3 overs.
Today the second test match started in the first innings so far the Sri Lankan team collected 214 runs in 58 overs for 2 wickets. Bangladeshi players have missed a lot of fielding and they are not performing well in bowling. According to the fall of wickets, the bowling performance of the Bangladesh team is not good today. The two opening batsmen of the Sri Lankan team have performed very well, Nishan Madushka and Karunartne, these two players have collected good numbers, so the chances of the Sri Lankan team to win this match are very high. Kushal Mendis and Mathews, who are currently performing, if the Bangladesh team players can get these two attacking batsmen out, then it is definitely possible for the Sri Lankan team to fall.

Sri Lanka batted first in the 1st Test and won by a big margin so they decided to bat after winning the toss in this Test as well. Sri Lanka's batting line-up has improved a lot today. So far Sri Lanka have collected 180 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 50 overs. Nishan Madushka was dismissed for 57 runs and Dimuth Karunaratne was dismissed for 86 runs.Bangladesh bowlers bowled well in the first test but they are not able to bowl well in the second test. Hasan Mahmud has taken only 1 wicket. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can give a lead.
Sri Lanka won the toss and quite predictably chose to bat first. And this means that Bangladeshi batsmen will be up against the Lankan spinners on the 4th and 5th days of the match. At this point, Sri Lanka has a definite upper hand, and winning the toss has put them on a further higher ground. If Bangladesh wants to have a chance in this match, then they need to take quick wickets and need to ensure that the Lankan batsmen doesn't get time to dig in. BTW, early indications are that the pitch at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is going to offer a lot of support for the spinners.
Bangladesh can't afford to lose nor draw this test else they will lose this series. To get the advantage of 4th and 5th day, Sri Lanka need to score good runs in first innings. Batting performance of both team is almost same in first test apart from Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis who made the difference. Bangladesh need to get quick wickets and also need to keep an eye on these two SL batters also.

Bangladesh will face a similar defeat in the second match too as Sri Lanka have already made a great start and they have batted first and collected 128 runs for the loss of one wicket in the first innings so far. If Sri Lanka gives Bangladesh a lead of 400 runs in the first innings, then I think Bangladesh will not be able to meet this run target even in two innings.
Moreover, the pacers and spinners of Bangladesh are not able to take advantage today even though one wicket has fallen, this wicket has come from a run out. So in today's match I will assume that Sri Lanka are in the driving seat and will most likely set a target of over 400 runs.
In the second Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team won the toss and decided to bat first. In the second test match, the Sri Lankan team has started fairly well, so far the Sri Lankan team has collected 56 runs without losing any wicket. Sri Lanka's opener duo Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka have started well. Bangladesh bowlers should keep Sri Lanka under pressure from the start so that the Sri Lankan team can't collect too much but if these two batsmen don't take wickets early on then they can be dangerous. I will certainly hope that Bangladesh can do well in today's match so that Sri Lanka can collect very few runs in the second Test match.
In the first match, Sri Lanka won the match by 328 runs. Again coming to the 2nd match Sri Lanka are batting first here they have scored 105 runs for 1 wicket so far. I remember the 1st match after seeing their performance. Sri Lanka's performance once again indicates that they are likely to lose this match to Bangladesh and that too by a huge margin of runs. Sri Lanka will score more than 350 runs, maybe 400 in the first innings. So I don't see anything good for Bangladesh. i think Bangladesh is going to lose 3 matches in a row with Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka current score is 105 runs in just loss of only one wickets. I think sri Lanka batting first is good decision they wlll set a huge total for Bangladesh and put pressure on them. Unfortunately, Nishan Madushka is run out after scoring a half-century battling well to add 57 runs to team total. Dimuth Karunaratne is playing well at 37 runs Unbeaten alongside with Kusal Mendis at 7 not out. This partnership is very important for Sri Lanka to score a huge total. Bangladesh bowlers haven't bowled well so far in the second season of day one.

In the second Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan batsmen are scoring very well at the moment. One of their team's two opening batsmen who has already completed his fifty runs will gradually become more aggressive against the Bangladeshi bowlers. The Sri Lankan batsmen have already collected 88 runs and their innings is going on the lunch break at the moment but none of the Bangladeshi bowlers have taken a wicket yet. Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto has already bowled six Bangladeshi bowlers to bring a breakthrough but none of them could succeed. Bangladesh bowlers will have to perform well to destroy the Sri Lankan batting line-up as they have started well from the start and are hinting at more runs. We saw in the first test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka that Sri Lanka started badly but two of their team's batsmen pulled their entire team to the port of victory.The Sri Lankan batsmen are following the same path in the second Test match. After the lunch break of this match maybe the Bangladeshi bowlers will pick up wickets by bowling well and they will come back to the game well.
Lunch break came at the match of Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh match and now the Sri Lankan team can easily make 200 runs if they didn’t break this partnership between Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka.
By the way, they are taking many balls to score runs but they covered it after making the runs without losing the wickets. In the beginning, Nishan Madushka started slow and at this time he is also playing slow but it helps because he making runs as he used the balls while Dimuth Karunaratne also played with a strike rate of 50 runs and in test, it helped in very good order.
In the first 27 overs, they made just a normal score of 88 runs and hoped after the lunch break in the 2nd session they would complete their century for the team.
