    Sri Lanka, who were forced to follow-on after trailing by 213 runs in the first innings, managed to escape defeat by scoring 429 for 9 in the second innings due to their combative style of play on the final day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sonal Dinusha, who scored 103 runs in the first innings, strengthened Sri Lanka’s innings by scoring 133 runs not out in 264 balls in the second innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
