Sri Lanka Seal T20I Series in Bangladesh With Second Straight Win at Sylhet

Batting first on Sylhet’s slowing pitch proved decisive in the visitors clinching the trophy.

Overview

Sri Lanka took an unassailable 2-0 lead with a 21-run victory in the second T20I at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
They posted 154 before holding Bangladesh to 133, with three run outs in the chase and Kavisha Dilhari taking 2 for 15 to win Player of the Match.
Harshitha Samarawickrama top-scored for Sri Lanka with 49 in the second game after striking 61 in the opener that set up a 25-run win.
In the first T20I, Sri Lanka made 161 for 4 through Samarawickrama and Imesha Dulani’s half-centuries, while Bangladesh replied with 136 for 7 as Shorna Akter hit her maiden T20I fifty.
The series finale is scheduled for May 2 at Sylhet on FanCode, and early batting has mattered as the surface slows and favors spin later in the innings.
