Bangladesh win

-

Bangladesh have secured their maiden test win against Sri Lanka, and their second against a major test-playing nation in the last five months, with an eventful fourwicket victory in their 100th test in Colombo. The touring side chased down their target of 191 in the final session of the test yesterday to level the two-match series at 1-1. Bangladesh had lost 15 tests and drawn two of their previous 17 matches in the fiveday format against Sri Lanka and the victory was undoubtedl­y their best away from home after they beat England in Dhaka last October.
