BD A draw 4-day series
The two-match four-day series between Bangladesh A and their Sri Lankan counterparts was drawn after the second unofficial test between the two sides ended in a stalemate at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota yesterday.
Sri Lanka, who started the day on 126 without loss in their second innings and a 64-run lead, reached 357 for two in 107 overs at the close. Overnight batsman Pathum Nissanka missed out on a double ton, when he was run out after scoring a magnificent 307-ball 192 that was laced with 20 boundaries and a solitary six. The other wicket that fell was that of Sangeeth Cooray when the left-hander was caught behind off a Rishad Hossain delivery in the 63rd over, ending a 219-run opening stand with Nissanka.
Kamindu Mendis (67) and skipper Ashan Priyanjan (5) remained unbeaten as the match ended in a draw.
Bangladesh A were all out for 330 in their only innings.
