Apart from Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis, none of the batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad have played well. These two batsmen collected 102 runs. De Silva and Mendis put on a 202-run partnership. Although Khaled and Nahid bowled somewhat well, we did not see better bowling from Bangladesh's two experienced bowlers, Taijul and Miraj. Taijul is not in good form. Taijul's performance in this series against Sri Lanka is very poor.
Sri Lanka could not score big. But the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is weak as usual. The top-order batsmen returned to the dressing room very quickly. Bangladesh team lost three important wickets to collect only 31 runs. My estimate was that Bangladesh could collect more than 250. But the way Bangladesh started the innings, it is very difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs.
