Prabath Jayasuriya claimed his 12th five-wicket haul as Sri Lanka defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 78 runs within just 30 minutes on day four of the second Test at the SSC Ground, sealing the series 1–0 after the Galle Test ended in a draw.
Resuming on 115/6 and trailing by 94 runs, Bangladesh lost Litton Das in the very first over of the day, as Jayasuriya had him caught behind. The left-arm spinner struck again in his next over, removing Nayeem Hasan, who was stumped by Kusal Mendis to leave Bangladesh reeling at 124/8.

Taijul Islam became Jayasuriya’s fifth victim after offering a return catch, and just two balls later, Tharindu Rathnayake wrapped up the game by trapping Ebadot Hossain LBW — ending the match in just 5.4 overs on the fourth morning.
