Bangladesh entered the fifth and final day of the Galle Test holding a strong position, building a lead of 187 runs.
As per the latest update, the Tigers collected 237 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. However, currently the match remains halted due to rain.
Resuming the day with a solid foundation, the Tigers looked composed against the Sri Lankan attack, aiming to bat the hosts out of the contest.
The middle order delivered with key contributions, helping stretch the lead into threatening territory as the pitch continued to deteriorate under the Galle heat.
Opener Shadman Islam anchored the innings with a well-constructed half-century, giving Bangladesh the platform they needed.
A win here would be significant for Bangladesh, marking a statement performance in subcontinental conditions and potentially their first Test victory in Galle.
