SL vs BAN Dream11 Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Test 29 April

SL vs BAN Dream11: We witnessed a batting masterclass from either side in the first Test at Pallekelle, which resulted in a high-scoring draw. The two teams will now square off in the same venue for the second and final Test.

Talking about the last encounter, it was a match-up between two talented batting units who displayed their skills on a relatively flat batting track. Opting to bat first, the Mominul Haque-led visitors scored a mammoth 541-7 (declared) after batting for two days and a session. Najmul Hossain Shanto (163) and skipper Mominul (127) scored brilliant centuries, whereas veteran Tamim Iqbal scored a sumptuous 90 off 101 deliveries.

The hosts gave a befitting reply to Bangladesh’s score and went on to post a gigantic 648-8 (declared). Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne led from the front with a crafty 244, whereas, all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva scored a ravishing 166. The duo added 345 runs for the fourth wicket before Dhananjaya was cleaned up by Taskin Ahmed. With the two sides batting for 4 days in their respective first innings, the match ended up in a draw with nothing to choose between the two.

After the performance both teams have put up in the opening fixture, we could expect a result in this game. A cracker of a Test match awaits one and all at the Pallekele International Stadium.
