Bangladesh could have done well in this Test series against Sri Lanka if they had prepared ahead of the Test series against Sri Lanka and played a three-day warm-up match. Moreover, the lack of performance of all the players in the Bangladesh team is the main reason for Bangladesh's loss against Sri Lanka. Many thought that if Shakib Al Hasan joined, the team might be stronger but Shakib Al Hasan was out of the team for a long time due to which he could not fully engage himself in the game. However, many regular players of the team have given the worst performance especially Liton Kumar Das Nazmul Hossain Shanto.

Sri Lanka played very well in Test matches against Bangladesh. They won both matches showing how good they are in this cricket format. Bangladesh played little better in T20 and ODI matches but they struggled in Test matches. They did not score many runs in any of four innings they played. Sri Lanka did great job especially in the second Test where they scored over 530 runs in their first turn to bat. Kamindu Mendis a young player did really well with both batting and bowling and was named best player of the match and series. Well done to Sri Lanka for their win. Bangladesh will need to work on their weaknesses to do better in future.
You are right Sri Lanka outstanding performance in this series and whitewashed Bangladesh by 2-0. Bangladesh poor performance throughout this series didn't played well. The Player of the Series reward is Kamindu Mendis for his amazing batting performance in both test matches especially in the second test match batting good scored an important 92 runs inning. I think Bangladesh should learn from their mistakes and improve their batting performance for the next matches.It has to be accepted that the Bangladeshi players, especially in Tests, are in such a bad mood that they have no patience or mentality to play Tests. They must be coached well and practice mental attitude and patience and then advised to play Tests. Especially the top order of Bangladesh has not improved so far but they have deteriorated so much that Bangladesh is losing every match due to the failure of the batsmen in the top order.

Gap between pig-4 and the remaining teams keep on increasing. Only exception is that of South Africa and Pakistan. They have managed to remain competitive. Teams like West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have gone down the drain as far as test cricket is concerned. Now my question is, why these countries need to play test cricket? The ICC is forcing them, but neither the boards nor the players want to play. Money is in T20. Test format is quite a lot effort intensive, and at the same time salaries are low (when compared to that in franchise T20 leagues).
We already talked about this many times without having any positive note because we all know we can give our ideas and suggestions related to this topic but at the ICC where they are having deep pockets no one trying to understand this all and still wasting their time and sources for having this all system which is not helpful for any country.We need just two formats in this game cricket with test needs to be had to tier system and then T20i which will surely bring better results and also improvement in quality which is important leagues are important for the players, but we need some fair level for all which will also bring good results and ICC will be also able to create things as they needed but who care about this all, and they are still hoping for the better results from the all test teams which are going the worst day by day.

Sri Lanka played very well against Bangladesh rightly because the Bangladesh team is currently very weak due to lack of good players. But New Zealand, Australia and India will be very challenging teams for Sri Lanka and when Sri Lanka plays against them I don't think they can cross more than 300 runs in any innings. Most likely they will collect less than 300 runs per innings. So there is no chance for Sri Lanka to be very happy winning the match with Bangladesh by such a high run margin. Because challenging matches are waiting for them in the coming days. They will have a lot of trouble to deal with them

Lol, Pakistan is being competitive? Sure but in a parallel universe. FFS Pakistan failed to win their historic home season. I won't go into much detail but post their recent series results.

ESPNcricinfoOnly Sri Lanka's excellent performance could not keep them ahead of Bangladesh, while Bangladesh's poor performance also helped them to beat Bangladesh by a huge margin of runs. In both matches, Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by huge margin of runs. Sri Lanka's performance was not what we expected but they did better than expected. This is a great achievement for them really. I appreciate their performance. good luck for them
This series is quite irrelevant. Lankans can rejoice over the 2-0 series win, but then it came against one of the weakest teams in tier-1 test cricket. As of now, test cricket is divided into two tiers. 9 countries in the first tier, and 3 countries in the second tier. This is very much asymmetrical. I want the first tier reduced to 6 countries - Australia, England, India, Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand. Remaining 6 countries can form the tier-2 and the top-6 associate sides can make up tier-3 in test cricket (including Nepal, Scotland, Namibia.etc).

This is the risk when you depend too much on tailored pitches to win matches. The issue here was that Sri Lanka had better spinners, and their pacers are quite experienced in bowling under unsupportive conditions. And Bangladesh batsmen hardly showed any patience, even though the pitch was a bit difficult to bat on. Apart from that long standing issues remain. Bangladesh's weakness in longer format results from the lack of a proper 4-day structure back home. And BCB is not taking any action at this time.

After winning the T20 series, the Sri Lankan team had a celebration aimed at Bangladesh, which Bangladesh did their own way after winning the ODI series. As the two teams have their own celebrations against each other in ODIs and T20Is, everyone has been eyeing how which team celebrates in the Test series. However, after winning the Test series in a big way, the Sri Lankan team had a very normal celebration, which I personally like very much. If any celebration is aimed at a team or a specific player, it does not look good at all.
Now if we talk about the performance then Sri Lanka's performance in the second test match must be praised because Sri Lanka batted and bowled brilliantly in the second test match. Although Bangladesh only reduced the margin of defeat in the second innings but could not save the team from defeat. Bangladesh has done well in T20 and ODI cricket but still need to improve considerably in Test cricket.
After winning second test and series things were pretty normal for the Sri Lankan team which is good gesture from them even we need rivalry between them because this will create good cricket for the fans and things could be more competitive but for this all we also need improvement in quality of Bangladesh test team because currently they are one of the worst teams in this format which having no depth and technique which is important for the success.Now if we talk about the performance then Sri Lanka's performance in the second test match must be praised because Sri Lanka batted and bowled brilliantly in the second test match. Although Bangladesh only reduced the margin of defeat in the second innings but could not save the team from defeat.

Now having teams in all three formats are not easy for any board just because of this now we need some changes in this all which will increase quality for few teams and things could be more competitive because test format is going tough day by day and few teams are badly down to achieve something better hopefully in near future we will have some better from the ICC which also needs support from all boards as well.
Bangladesh struggled in the Test series and Sri Lanka emerged victorious after five days of play, winning by 192 runs. Sri Lanka proved to be the superior team, and Bangladesh, being relatively inexperienced especially in Test cricket, should learn from this series and make improvement.
Supporters of Bangladesh absolutely love cricket from their heart, that's why they know the updated news of Bangladesh cricket even in the face of thousands of hardships and hundreds of defeats.Bangladesh has never been a good team in Test cricket till date Bangladesh has not become a good team. Therefore, if a test match is organized in Bangladesh cricket, we definitely do not consider that test match as a losing match.
As viewers, we are used to seeing Bangladesh's bad performance, so seeing Bangladesh's defeat, especially in Test cricket, is no longer sad.

Let's appreciate the rivalry between teams but also respect each other. Celebrating a series win is normal, but it shouldn't disrespect the opponent. Sri Lanka's modest celebration after winning the Test series is commendable, especially compared to the excessive celebrations in the T20Is and ODIs.Quote

Sri Lanka won by 192 runs in their 2nd test match against Bangladesh. they eneded up two test match by winning continuously and this is how they have won the Test series. Bangladesh Was seen Good enough in T20 & ODI Format against Sri Lanka but in Test match, Bangladesh needs great development as they did too much lower performance in 1st and 2nd test match. Mehidy Hasan Miraz (81) made good runs in 2nd inngins but At the end of the day, in avarage Bangladesh did under 200 runs in each of 4 inngins (in 2 test matches). And Sri Lanka was too serious about this test and so was seen in the 2nd test where they played with more effort and cross more than 530 runs in 1st innings. Specially everyone's eyes was on youngster Kamindu Mendis who did a lots of runs even took 3 wickets in 2nd inngins against Bangladesh. And become player of the match and player of the series. Congrats Sri Lanka, what a play!!

Yes you are right Sri Lanka played very well in Test matches. They won both matches easily. In second Test match Sri Lanka did exceptionally well by scoring more than 530 runs in their first innings which I think a good score. By the way Sri Lanka deserved to win and Bangladesh will have to work on their weaknesses to do better next time. Sri Lanka strong performance in Test matches against Bangladesh showed how good they are at cricket and how well they played. And how they can do well in future matches. I hope they will continue this performance against others teams too. And I hope Bangladesh will learn from their mistakes. Jump to:
