The Sri Lankans won the game by 215 runs and took the series 1-0 after cutting off the Tigers at 123 on the third day of the Dhaka Test. Rangana Herath four scalps in the second innings helped him reach 415 Test wickets and become the most successful left-arm bowler in the format. Mominul Haque was the highest scorer in Bangladesh's second innings with 33. The Sri Lankans had taken a 112 run lead after the Bangladesh lower order collapsed in the first innings. But the loss of six wickets for 23 runs closed out a disappointing match for the Bangladesh batsmen.
