It has been a joy bringing you this Test series. But as they say, "all good things come to an end". It is time to bid you goodbye. But stay tuned to Sportskeeda as we keep on bringing sporting action from the around world. This is Darpan Tikiya and Pradeep signing off.
Dhananjaya de Silva (Sri Lanka Captain): Of course, very pleasing to win the series. Our pacers did the basics right. We knew there won't be much for them on these wickets. We were focused on exploiting reverse swing with the old ball.We have plenty of experienced players. Our batters were disappointed after not being able to score runs in the first match. So, I told them I have full faith in you. We have Test matches coming up in South Africa and England where there would be more pace friendly wickets. I have full faith that our pacers will do well there.
Kamindu Mendis is the Player of the Match (92* & 3-32) and also the Player of the Series (367 runs & 3 wickets)! Here's what he has to say: (About the run-out in the first innings) Actually, I told him that I'm looking for a run, Asitha says sorry every time he sees me. In last few months, working with my spin coach on my bowling, working hard at it. When I have to change my arm, I tell the umpire, today in this innings, I was confident with my right arm and went with it. In the first match, the surface was hard, skipper and I had a good partnership and made the most of it.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh captain): We didn't play well to be honest, bowlers showed a lot of character, very happy for them but the batters disappointed. I think if we look at our batting, we got set and didn't go on to convert it into a big one, make sure these things are sorted out in future. We can't do anything, we can't control but as a player we need to take care of those things, we need to play more first class cricket and that'll help. The way Hasan Mahmud came and bowled, Shakib came in played, bowled and batted really well, Miraz showed great character in the second innings.
Stay tuned for the post match presentation.
Sri Lanka win by 192 runs and take the series 2-0.

It has been a series of utter dominance from Sri Lanka. They were put under the pump in the first couple of hours at Sylhet when they had lost 5 wickets for just 57 runs. But then, Kamindu Mendis and skipper Dhananjaya de Silva put up a memorable partnership and the visitors haven't looked back since.
The demolition job has continued in this Test as well. The batters set it up in the first innings. 6 men in that top7 of the order went on to score fifties as Sri Lanka notched up the highest total without an individual century in the history of Test cricket.
Then, the bowlers took charge. After a wayward opening spell, Asitha Fernando came back on Day 3 to rock the Bangladesh lower middle order while everyone else played their part. The hosts were bundled out for 178 and was always going to be staring down the barrel after that.
But they only had themselves to blame. They put down 6 catches in the first innings. Though, yesterday and today, they put on some resistance on display crossing 200 for the first time in the series. But it was always going to be a mountain to climb in the second innings.
In the end, Sri Lanka have registered a thumping victory and completed a clean sweep. Special mention to Lahiru Kumara who bowled with some gas and Prabhat Jayasuriya who was unrelenting and bowled long spells to hold up one end. But the star was Kamindu Mendis who contributed with both bat and ball.
Can't keep that one out!!! It is done and dusted. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will stay stranded at 81* at the other end. He was sledging Asitha Fernando, reminding him of how the latter's runout made Kamindu miss out on a century. Well, karma comes back to bite, doesn't it?

84.6 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! That's it, Sri Lanka wrap up the series, 2-0! Kumara comes up with another searing yorker, Khaled this time had no answer to it, tried to jam his bat to it and dig it out but was too good, through to rattle the stumps. Joy all round for Sri Lanka, but plenty of things to ponder for Bangladesh with the way they've showed up in both the test matches. Khaled Ahmed b Lahiru Kumara 2 (8b, 0x4, 0x6)
There's the fuller one I had mentioned. Though Khaled does well to bring his bat down in time.
84.5 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OH! Surprises the batter with a brilliant yorker, Khaled does well really well to dig it out into the off-side somehow.
84.4 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OH! Short and doesn't get up as much as Khaled expected, awkwardly let's it go to the keeper and the ball dies at the keeper too.
Lahiru Kumara has pegged Khaled back now with two back to back short balls. Don't be surprised if he now slips in a fuller one at the stumps.
84.3 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OH MY! Nasty bumper now to Khaled, this is hostile stuff and he gets pinged on the glove, that's got to sting. Short and rising into the batter, Khaled went back to defend but pings on the glove.
84.2 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OH DEAR! Short delivery into the batter, Khaled awkwardly swipes it away, was slightly aerial in the end and went wide of short-leg's right.
That was a millionaire's review! They still had 2 remaining and thought, "why not use one here?". It was a good 6 inches away from the gloves.
84.1 Lahiru Kumara to Khaled Ahmed, OH! Short delivery, angling back in on the off-stump line. Khaled backs away slightly and looks to defend, but that whiskers past the outside edge to the keeper. Sri Lanka think, they've heard something and have gone for the review.
UltraEdge confirms, there was a daylight gap between the ball and the bat or the glove in the end.
That boundary of the last ball takes Mehidy Hasan Miraz into the 80s. However, he would have much rather preferred a single that would have helped him retain strike for the start of the next over. Bangladesh still need another 193 runs to win. Sri Lanka need 1 wicket.
