Preview of day 4:

Sri Lanka started the day with 296/4.Adding 14 runs in the scoreboard Thilan Samaraweera was first to go scoring 77 who was out LBW by Shakib al hasan.After that there was a 86 runs partnership between Tilakrtne Dilshan and Chamara Kapugedera.Dilshan was bold out by Enamul Haque Jnr scoring 143.Then Kapugedera and Vaas added more 51 runs in the board before the declaration.Mahela Jayawardene declared the innings when SL were 447/6.Kapugedera 59* and Vaas 20* were the not out batsmen.A impossible targer of 624 runs was set for Bangladesh.

Whwn Bangladesh was 18/0,then Imrul Kayes was caught behind by Sangakkara scoring 5 in the bowling of Mendis.Just adding 4 runs in the board,Tamim Iqbal was out in the same way giving caught behind to Sangakkara in Vaas bowling scoring 17.Zunaed Siddique was out LBW by Ajantha Mendis scoring 4.Mohammad Ashraful was also caught behind by Sangakkara in Mendis bowling scoring 7.Raqibul Hasan was bold out by Dilhara Fernando scoring 10 misjudging the line of the bowl which he did many times and sooner Bangladesh became 52/5.A batting collapse of the top order,only Tamim(17) and Raqibul(10) touched two mark figure.After that there was an aggressive partnership of 92 between Shakib al hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim.Shakib al hasan was very over confident in this innings and wanted to hit every and each delivary.Shakib took Dilshan very easily and went down the wicket and was stumpted by Sangakkara in Dilshan's bowling scoring 46 runs in 49 bowls hitting 7 boundaries.Adding 10 runs in the board,Mehrab Jnr was also out LBW by Dilshan scoring 5.Previous innings 'Hero' Mashrafe Mortaza was caught by Jayawardene in Dilshan's bowling scoring 0.Shahadat Hussain was bold out by Dilshan scoring 1.Mushfiqur Rahim was run out as the last batsman of Bangladesh scoring a well made 43 and Bangladesh was all out for 158.

Sri Lanka won this test match by a large margin of 465 runs and took the series by 2-0.Tilakrtne Dilshan was named man of the match after getting hundread in both innings and took 4/10 in the 2nd innings of Bangladesh.Tilakrtne Dilshan was named the man of the series too.The gain of Bangladesh from this series are the all-round performance of Shakib-al-hasan,good batting of Mushfiqur Rahim and a century of Mohammad Ashraful.In my opinion,Shakib al hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim should bat at no 4 and 5.
