Bangladesh secured a 16-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second one-day international match, thanks to Tanvir Islam's five-wicket haul and Parvez Hossain Emon's half-century. The series is now tied at 1-1, with the final match scheduled for Tuesday in Pallekele.
Tanvir Islam's maiden five-wicket haul and Parvez Hossain Emon's maiden half-century helped Bangladesh defeat Sri Lanka by 16 runs in the second one-day international in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Bangladesh scored 248 runs before being all out in the 46th over at R. Premadasa Stadium. Sri Lanka, after a good start at 75-2, faltered and ended at 170-8, falling short by 79 runs. The series is now tied at 1-1 with the final match scheduled for Tuesday in Pallekele.
Janith Liyanage and Dushmantha Chameera's partnership of 58 runs for the ninth wicket provided some resistance for Sri Lanka, but it was not enough to secure a win. Bangladesh lost their first wicket early but recovered well with contributions from Emon, Shanto, Hridoy, Sakib, Jaker Ali, and Shamim Hossain. Fernando and Hasaranga were the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka.
In their chase of 249, Sri Lanka lost early wickets, with Tanvir's impressive bowling performance being the highlight for Bangladesh. Despite a fighting knock from Liyanage, Sri Lanka fell short of the target. Tanvir finished with figures of 5-39 to lead Bangladesh to victory.
