Lowest Test innings totals by each of the top 10 team

#9 Bangladesh (62 VS Sri Lanka at Colombo, 2007)

Bangladesh were unable to cope with the brilliance of Muttiah Muralitharan

Bangladesh was touring Sri Lanka for the very first time in their Test history and faced the hosts in the 2nd Test of the 3 match series.

It was Sri Lanka who won the toss and asked Bangladesh to bat. From the very first ball, the Lankan bowlers looked threatening and the Bangladeshi batsmen were not able to cope with the pace of Lasith Malinga. He bowled yorkers after yorkers and the batsmen had no clue what so ever.

After Malinga, it was the spin wizard Muthiah Muralitharan who spun a web around the batsmen and bamboozled them with his guile. Only Rajin Saleh went beyond double figures as Bangladesh were bowled out for 62. Both Malinga and Muralitharan finished with 4 wickets each.

Courtesy Kumar Sangakkara’s double century the Sri Lankans posted a mammoth 451. Bangladesh’s response in the 2nd innings was way better than their 1st innings effort as Mohammed Ashraful notched up his 4th Test century. Eventually, Bangladesh was bowled out for 290 handing Sri Lanka a victory by an innings & 90 runs.
