Thunderstorms are forecasted for tomorrow at Kandy, so if Bangladesh bats sensibly tomorrow, then they will have a chance to draw this match. But they will have zero chance if 90 overs of play is possible tomorrow. Liton Das is batting along with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and both are very good batsmen capable of surviving for 40-50 overs. Given the weather forecast for tomorrow, that should be enough to hold Sri Lanka to a draw.

Update: Bangladesh lost by 209 runs

Bangladesh as usual in the losing track. Bangladesh are a good team, however they need to improve in test side otherwise this thing will repeat again and again. Congratulations Praveen on 10 wickets haul on Test debut. Amazing young talent, and such promising performance should be carried out. Hope upcoming ODI series will be competitive.

What to say?

All they had to do was to survive another 40-50 overs and the weather would have done the rest. But they couldn't even survive the first session of the 5th day. All the five wickets gone in just 23 overs. And look who got the wickets. The inexperienced spinners Ramesh Mendis and Praveen Jayawickrama shared 9 wickets between them (the remaining wicket went to Dhananjaya de Silva). If Bangladesh perform like this, then soon they will end up like Zimbabwe.
