Sri Lanka has declared the 2nd inning after making 157/7 and gave a target of over 500 to win. Bangladesh in their 2nd inning, lost 2 wickets at 65 runs. Sri Lanka will win this match unless we see some extraordinary innings from the BAN batsmen. Bangladesh has given us another meme material when 5 players were chasing a ball  Cheesy, it was hilarious.     
Bangladesh were now looking in quite trouble and I think may be they will lose this second match too because currently they lose much more important wickets which put them under a huge pressure and to be honest may be rest of thier lineup will scored 100 or 150 max till his last wickets which isn't enough but I really appreciate thier bowlers comback in especially sirilankan second innings which is now quite late because such kind of bowling performance were required in sirilankan first innings in order to restrict them as much as possible below target because it's not only reduced pressure from Bangladesh but will be allow them long to be in the game but unfortunately they make a late comback and now they have decent chance but due to lack of wickets they will not filled the required target. Anyway let see how they manage things

I am not sure yet but according to Cricbuzz, we will see the Pakistan vs India test match in this year after such a long time, which will be hosted by Australia, and it will happen before the Champions Trophy 2025.

It happened after 2006 and in 2006, this series happened at Karachi Stadium Pakistan and that was won by Pakistan with a very good run rate. Let’s see what will happen this time in this test match but also it might be not possible because to see the Pakistan vs India match is not less than any miracle especially when it comes to test cricket.

Cricket Australia interested in hosting India-Pakistan bilateral series
This is only wished of Australian Cricket Board with nothing positive going to happen about this because in current circumstances India will be never play against Pakistan in bilateral series or match at any place this is policy of the Narendra Modi government specially while they are going for the elections in near future things like these never been going to happen.
Their all campaign is going to against Pakistan agenda then how can you expect anything related to this for me most chances India will be never visit to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 with ICC will be also not do anything just jump into issue for the favor of India and try to handle this all for having this Champions Trophy into the UAE instead of Pakistan.

Good fight from Bangladesh in second innings but Sri Lankans have given a huge target that is difficult to chase. On last day Sri Lanka need 3 more wickets to win while Bangladesh need 243 more runs to win. Second half century from Bangladesh in this test by Mominul Haque and Mehidy Hasan Miraz is not out on 44 runs. This is also part of ICC World Test Championship but don't think Sri Lanka will have any benefit of wining this series in test championship.
Yes, Bangladesh cricket team is batting with a good fighting spirit in the second innings of their second Test match against Sri Lanka so far. If they had this attitude beforehand, maybe Bangladesh would have been able to draw at least in this test match. Bangladesh still trail the Sri Lankan cricket team by 243 runs but they have three wickets in hand which gives them another chance. Although Sri Lanka's victory in the two Test matches against Bangladesh is assured, it is not certain whether they will qualify for the ICC Test Championship, but they will be much ahead of Bangladesh in the ICC Test rankings. Bangladesh's Mehdi Hasan Miraj is still unbeaten on 44 off 49 balls and has a chance to complete another half-century in his Test career.

It's a done deal for a ridiculously one sided test series but on a funny note, Bangladesh should take a moral victory because they took this match into 5th day Tongue.  5th day action seems like an achievement in recent times.
It is Sri Lanka who took the match to the 5th day actually. They would have won the match already if they used the follow-on rules. Bangladesh would have been all out within day 4 in their second innings. Maybe they thought to do a little batting practice and decided to bat for the second innings instead of applying the follow-on rules.

Looks like Pathirana used all his energy to take the catch and to tie the friendly bond with Bangladesh again Cheesy.

Bangladesh is still 243 runs behind Sri Lanka. Perhaps Bangladesh will be quickly all out early on the fifth day and Sri Lanka will secure a big win in the second Test match against Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh competed well in T20 and ODI series, Bangladesh performed very poorly in Test cricket and could not put up any resistance against Sri Lanka. In the second test match, Shakib Al Hasan joined the Bangladesh team, the expectations were high, but even after Shakib Al Hasan joined the team, the team could not go to a respectable position. Since Bangladesh has lost 7 wickets, the Sri Lankan bowlers may lose the remaining three wickets at the beginning of the fifth day. As Bangladesh is a professional team in Test cricket, their performance must be improved.

Another day has passed and now it stumps again and tomorrow Sri Lankan team has to out them all tomorrow but there is not all because more than half of Bangladesh batsmen are out by the Sri Lankan bowlers already.

Already, 7 wickets of the Bangladesh team have been taken by Sri Lankan bowlers, and now we are just waiting for tomorrow to see the Sri Lankan team win the test. Just have to wait some more hours then the team of Bangladesh will have to face embarrassment in their home ground once again, and from this test, this series will be finished.  Just waiting for tomorrow to see Sri Lankan team's wonderful victory at Chattogram. No other result is possible in this test match.

It was a good idea for Sri Lanka to declare in a lower 2nd inning total. They were not making runs at a quicker pace and 500+ is already an impossible target for Bangladesh batsmen. Bangladesh's 2nd batting went as expected. Even though they were able to score more than their 1st inning but they also have lost 7 of their wickets. Sri Lanka now has some 90 overs to take those 3 wickets while Bangladesh can neither save their wicket so long or pull in 243 runs before losing those 3 wickets. Sri Lanka is the clear winner here.

Bangladesh team is in the need of 243 runs to win the test match against Sri Lanka and just three wickets are left but now they also have many overs so they have to make a partnership and depend on singles or doubles because they cannot take the risk at this time due to the pressure and the fear of Sri Lanka bowlers that they had been made in the some last matches.

I am making these statements on behalf of the Bangladesh supporters as to how they would hope to see the last day of the test. I hope that this match if they will put pressure to the Sri Lankan bowlers and if from this situation, the Bangladesh team wins then the team of Bangladesh team will rise once again. Hope for Miracle, will it happen tomorrow  Huh

But in comparison Bangladesh's achievement in today's match is not too bad rather Bangladesh may not be able to win the target of 500 but so far they have collected 243 runs with the loss of 6 wickets which is in a much better position than the first innings.

Yes , you are right but there is no benefit of this. Bangladeshi International test cricket team is not playing like winners and if they want to win Series against good teams ,they have to change their mindset because with this mindset they can't win this series.

In few years ago , Sri Lankan International test cricket team was not good but now they are looking in good form and they have patience to win test match. Now , it is impossible for Bangladeshi International test cricket team to win this match .

They should hard work and they should improve their domestic cricket. They should take decisions on merit.

Winning the second test match Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, looks like an impossible task for Bangladesh. They need 243 more runs to win on Day 5, but with only three wickets remaining. Right now, the number of wickets left is the crucial factor, so even confident batting would not help at this stage. If they could save more wickets today, they might have had a chance, but it seems unlikely now. Bangladesh needs to improve significantly in first-class cricket if they want to perform well in tests. Unfortunately, they haven't fully grasped the nuances of the test game yet. They may lose the test series, but they must learn from this experience.

It is sad to see Bangladesh having hard time in test match against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka players like Dimuth Karunaratne Kusal Mendis and Kamindu Mendis played really well making it tough for Bangladesh to keep up. Sri Lanka is leading by more than 450 runs so it looks like Bangladesh is in tough spot. So there are very less chances of winning of Bangladesh team. Bangladesh should need to look on their mistakes and should resolve issues. Congratulations to SriLankan team in advance.

The Sri Lankan team came to bat once again but I don’t think so that they have to come again on batting because the Bangladesh team cannot chase 300 runs but I think so that their captain wanted still there are two and half days left so why we are not going to try to their batsmen, it will help them to judge their performance and they can also play without any pressure but I think this turned against them.

102 for 6 does not look like a promising figure for them. No doubt Srilanka will still win this test match but at the back of their mind, this poor performance in the 2nd innings will keep on pinching them. Bangladesh can take this positive bowling by them while they still are on the losing side.

Disciplined Sri Lanka reap rewards for investment in fast bowling

Bangladesh team are not likely to win this match and I think again they had to accept a loss by Sri Lanka because at this time today’s 30 overs and tomorrow’s 90 overs were left and at that time they had been at a loss of 4 wickets which cause that they did not have many chances to win it but if they would have won from that situation then Bangladesh team would have achieved a very good win against Sri Lankan team.

Shakib Al Hasan was on strike who was the last hope of them and if he fails to take them to victory then I don’t think they will win because he was the last hope and when he was out there was no chance for them.

Srilanka declared his second inning on 157 runs and set a target of 511 runs Angelo Mathews scored 56 while Bangladesh on 132/4 and end of 2nd session on day 4. Sri lanka need 6 wickets Mominul Haque make fifty while Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das on the crease Bangladesh need 379 runs in 4 sessions to win this test Its a very difficult task for the Bangladesh team because they don't have much experience players. Moreover sri lanka bowling is brilliant and the pressure is on bangladesh team i think Sri lanka will win this match because in the last two days, it will be very difficult for any team to chase the big target
It has become very difficult for Bangladesh to win the second test match and even to draw this test match is slowly becoming impossible for Bangladesh. In the second innings of the second test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka we saw a slightly better batting performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh batsmen have batted worst in the Test series between these two teams. Bangladesh have so far scored 267 runs for 7 wickets in the second innings of their second test match, they need to score another 311 runs to go into this test match which is impossible. Because they have only three wickets and the three remaining wickets are mainly bowlers. It is certain that Bangladesh will not be able to win this match, but if they bat a little better, maybe their margin of victory will decrease, for which Mehdi Hasan Miraj will have to bat more patiently.

Before the start of the Test series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, we never imagined that Bangladesh would be defeated by Sri Lanka in such a miserable manner. However Bangladesh team should learn from this test series failure and they should play more important test matches.

Bangladesh seems too weak to defense Sri Lanka in Test Format. They didn't perform well in 1test, so is for 2nd match.where Sri Lanka seems they continuously developed themselve in comparison of previous match. Most of top batsmans were about to century in 1st inngins. I don't know what happened in second innings where they perform too much poor like Bangladesh. Maybe they didn't give effort to score good amount of France as because they already gave 500+ runs target for Bangladesh. But yeah, Bangladesh improving, 268
−7 in 2nd inngins but it'll be difficult to fulfill the target (still need 243runs) with having rest of players who are bowlers

Sri Lanka will win this match unless we see some extraordinary innings from the BAN batsmen. Bangladesh has given us another meme material when 5 players were chasing a ball  Cheesy, it was hilarious.     
I will appreciate this effort by five to save a run because cricket should have such efforts.

Many have made memes of the above video and compared it to village cricket but I would definitely call it a supreme effort by the Bangladeshi players and such an effort by five cricketers to save a run is truly commendable.

In all probability, Lankans will declare their innings and ask Bangladeshis to bat from the first over tomorrow. I was a bit surprised with the performance from medium pacer Hasan Mahmud. He picked up 4 crucial wickets for Bangladesh. The pitch at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram was supposed to be spin-friendly. But so far the pacers have picked up majority of the wickets - Hasan Mahmud for Bangladesh, and then Lahiru Kumara/Vishwa Fernando/Asitha Fernando for the visitors.

SL should have gone for follow on option but they didn't took that option. Not good batting from SL in second innings but it doesn't matter as they have scored enough runs in first innings. It's first time in this test series that Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis were not able to score fifty, in past three innings they both were too good for Bangladeshi bowlers to handle. Tomorrow hopefully SL will be bowled out in first session and then Bangladesh have a huge target to chase. 
Bangladesh made only 178 runs in first innings no players from their team played long inning except Zakir Hasan who make fifty excellent bowling by Sri lankan bowlers who stop BAN team under 200 score like 1st test Asitha Fernando takes 4 wickets in 2nd innings SL is on 102/6 and day 3 stumps off. Sri lanka lead by 455 runs and 4 wickets remaining now and its impossible for Bangladesh to chase the target which gave Sri lanka tomorrow around about 500 runs SL playing fearless and brave in 2nd innings because they have huge margin of lead and Bangladesh could not chase fact that in last days it is very difficult for any team to chased big target like Bangladesh team very very difficult match official result has not announced yet but the Sri lankan team will win this match


It is very funny that Bangladesh lost all their wickets for just 178 runs while Sri Lanka scored 531 runs. In the second innings Sri Lanka are playing very normally as they don't need to collect too many runs.  Bangladesh will not be able to overcome the runs they collected in the first innings.  Sri Lanka scored 102 for 6 in the second innings. if Sri Lanka stop playing now then Bangladesh also need to collect a big runs like 455 to win the match which is not possible for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh team is performing very poorly with Sri Lanka team, Sri Lanka team did not perform carefully in the second innings. For this, Bangladesh started the second innings with 157 runs for 7 wickets, and Bangladesh team to perform again. But the Bangladesh team lost 4 wickets in the second innings collecting 132 runs in 34 overs. I don't think it is ever fit to play a Test match with this performance, although Bangladesh team will lose this match as well, because the aggressive batting has declined. Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das are in batting form now, two experienced players but not patient players. Because their performance is never enough to take the Bangladesh team to the winning end.

The last batting pair on the crease and it's fair to say 2-0 is loading. The main question would be how long they could resist, but it'll ensure a clean sweep in at least one format.

Shakib and Litton are capable batters but chasing this target is no less than climbing a Himalayan without any support. Also, it doesn't help that Litton is not in good knick.
