Sri Lanka cruising to a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series

Sri Lanka's tour of Bangladesh began on a winning note as the visitors clinched the three-match T20I series 2-1.

Hosts Bangladesh bounced back and won the ODI series by the same margin. In the first of the two-match Test series, which started on Friday, March 22 in Sylhet, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Batting first, Sri Lanka managed 280 runs in 68 overs, courtesy of the centuries from Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis. Apart from the duo, the other batters failed to even cross the 20-run mark.

With a 92-run lead, Sri Lanka are currently proceeding with their second innings and are on their way to securing a victory in the first Test match by setting up a daunting target for the hosts.
