Colombo Test: Bangladesh lose quick wickets before rain comes in
  Date : 11-08-2025

Bangladesh lost four wickets before reaching 100 runs in the Colombo Test against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

During the 34th over of the match, rain came in and the match was halted.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. But they failed to justify the decision as the opener Anamul Haque Bijoy fell quickly for a duck.

In the first match of the series in Galle, Anamul failed to prove his inclusion in the Test squad. He was expected to make an impact in the second match, but on the first chance, he disappointed.

Mominul Haque was the second to fall. He was dismissed by the Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva off his first delivery of the match.

It was a tossed-up delivery just outside the off-stump. The left-handed batter failed to play it properly. Instead, he pushed an easy catch straight to the fielder.

The onus was on the captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, to steady the ship, but the twin centurion in the first match fell for eight this time. After him, opener Shadman Islam fell for 46.

The first match of the series ended in a draw. Both teams came to Colombo aiming for a win to seal the series.
