Bangladesh eyeing rare away glory in Sri Lanka

BANGLADESH skipper Mashrafe Mortaza yesterday said he’s confident his side can secure a rare series win away from home when they face Sri Lanka in the second one-day international this week. The tourists lead 1-0 going into today’s contest at Dambulla and know that victory would secure only their third ever series win away from Bangladeshi soil. Bangladesh dominated Sri Lanka with bat and ball during the opening game of the threematch series on Saturday to clinch a crushing 90-run win against their more illustrious opponents. A win today would see them take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. “I am fully confident we will play our best. It will give us a good chance [of victory],” Mortaza said. “They will try very hard too since they are 1-0 behind.
