Bangladesh failed to maintain their winning momentum in the second women's ODI against Sri Lanka, losing by four wickets in Rajshahi on April 22, 2026. Despite a fighting effort with both bat and ball, Nigar Sultana Joty’s team could not defend their total, allowing Sri Lanka to level the three-match series 1-1.
Batting first, Bangladesh suffered early setbacks, losing two openers for just four runs. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty anchored the innings with a responsible 58 off 101 balls, but lack of support from the other end restricted the team to 165 runs. Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu starred with the ball, taking three wickets.
In reply, Sri Lanka also stumbled early but recovered through a 77-run fourth-wicket stand between Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hansima Karunaratne. Athapaththu contributed 40 off 39 balls, while Kavisha and Nilakshi guided the visitors to victory. Nahida Akter was Bangladesh’s standout bowler with four wickets. The series will now be decided in the third and final match.
