For bangladesh, it was a steep up uphill climb on day 3 with a deficit of 211 runs. Starting with a 30-? Shadman islam and Anamul haquethe top order was marked by poor shot selection. Even after getting some good starts, none of the batters were able to convert them into big scores. Veteran Mushfiquur Rahim was the top scorer with a 26-run knock. With Litton Das Still at the Crease, Bangladesh can hold on to a little hope from here.

We have Pitch Increasingly Assting Spin, Once U Concede a 200+ Run 1st innings lead, u are destined for a crushing defeat.
That’s What Ban is heading for. At 115/6 in 2nd innings n Still Trailing by 96 Runs, they will be lucky to avoid an innings defat tomorrow#Slvsban– Ambika (@apmahaapatra) June 27, 2025
A Mature Knock by Kusal Mendis to Ensure Sri Lanka’s Lead Went Past 200 at SSC. Missed out we have a well deserved hundred when he was run out. A Diving Effort Couldn’t Save HIM. He’s Hurt Himself and Hence Lahiru Udara Has Been Handed the Keeping Gloves. Mendis not on field.
