Chittagong, January 6:

Tillakaratne Dilshan gave a superb all-round performance to power Sri Lanka to a record 465-run victory over Bangladesh in the second and final Test today.

It was the fifth-largest win by runs in the history of the game. It was also Sri Lanka’s biggest win in 182 Tests and Bangladesh’s worst loss in 59 matches since gaining Test status in 2000. Dilshan scored an impressive 143 — his second century of the match — as the visitors set an improbable 624-run target.

Bangladesh were bundled out for 158 in their second innings on the penultimate day to lose the series 2-0. Dilshan, who picked 4-10, was named both the man of the match and the man of the series.

Shakib Al Hasan (46) and Mushfiqur Rahim (43) were the main scorers in a dismal Bangladeshi batting performance.

Dilshan was backed by unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis who picked 3-57 to finish with a match haul of seven wickets. Mendis started the slide when he took three quick wickets in his opening spell, removing opener Imrul Kayes (five), Junaid Siddique (four) and Mohammad Ashraful (seven) to reduce the hosts to 62-5.

Dilhara Fernando and Chaminda Vaas took a wicket each before the Dilshan finished the job in the closing session.

Sri Lanka earlier declared their second innings at 447-6, built around Dilshan’s 175-ball effort. Dilshan, who top-scored with 162 in the first innings, became the fourth Sri Lankan to score two hundreds in a match after Duleep Mendis, Asanka Gurusinha and Aravinda de Silva.

Dilshan, 81 overnight, dominated the morning session to virtually put the match beyond the hosts’ reach. He was the sixth man out, bowled by Enamul Haque. Thilan Samaraweera added only five runs to his overnight score of 72. Chamara Kapugedera also made 59 off 92 balls with three sixes and a four.
