Extreme batting disaster, Bangladesh is calling for a big defeat

Bangladesh faced a daunting task to chase down the mammoth target of 511 runs set by Sri Lanka, and their batting woes continued right from the start. Once again, Bangladesh's batting collapsed, this time managing only 37 runs and losing 5 wickets. Among the five batters, three returned to the pavilion without scoring, with Liton Das suffering a golden duck. Bangladesh ended the day's play trailing by 474 runs after losing 5 wickets.

To win this Test match, Bangladesh now needs to score another 474 runs with only 5 wickets remaining. Mominul Haque remains unbeaten with 7 runs, while nightwatchman Taijul Islam will resume batting with 6 runs.

Sri Lanka welcomed Bangladesh with a relentless onslaught, causing early damage. Mahmudullah Riyad lost his wicket to Vishwa Fernando's delivery without contributing any runs to the scoreboard. Fernando struck in the very first over of the second innings.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto couldn't last more than five balls. Kasun Rajitha dismissed him on the last delivery of the over, caught at slip.

Then, Zakir Hasan partnered with Mominul Haque, but their attempt to stabilize the innings failed. Zakir was dismissed for just 19 runs after scoring 9 in the first innings.

An excellent Vishwa Fernando claimed the ninth over of the innings, taking two wickets in the same over. Despite Dipu's dismissal after facing just three balls, Liton Das became the victim of a golden duck. Dipu had been dismissed as an edge, and Liton attempted to hit a boundary on the first ball but ended up giving a catch to Angelo Mathews within 30 yards.

Bangladesh ended the day's play at 37 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, trailing by 474 runs. Mominul Haque remained unbeaten on 7 runs, while Taijul Islam, the nightwatchman, will resume his innings with 6 runs.
