Bangladesh suffered an early setback as they missed the service of pace spearhead Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, ruled out with an ankle injury. His presence might have come handy under the largely overcast skies.

The bowlers, though, did a tidy job but the fact is that a total of 137 was never going to be really defendable under any conditions.

The home team reached 141 with eighteen overs to spare and despite some early hiccups they never really looked in any danger. Chamara Silva top-scored with 36 while openers Upul Tharanga and Sanath Jayasuriya chipped in with 28 and 24 respectively.

Sri Lanka won the first game by 70 runs on Friday.

The match generated very little interest as Mohammad Ashraful's men had already lost their entertainment value in the series, mainly because of their pathetic batting show which was also not an exception in the second one-dayer, but the small crowd who turned up at the big bowl experienced a milestone achievement for their hero Jayasuriya.

After right-arm quick Lasith Malinga's opening burst saw Bangladesh lose their first four wickets for 26 runs, left-arm slow Jayasuirya mopped up the middle order as he captured four wickets to become the first player to score over 12,000 runs and take 300 wickets in the shorter-version of the game.

Jayasuriya became just the third bowler for his country to scalp three hundred wickets after Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralidaran, both of whom have been rested for this series.

Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene won a good toss to allow his seam bowlers capitalise on the overcast conditions against an unconfident batting line-up, which hardly showed the skill to cope with this kind of situation.

The Bangladesh batting came under threat for the second successive occasion when Malinga and his new ball partner Farveez Maharoof swung the ball both ways and made it kick off good length ensuring continued misery for the Bangladesh top order.

Malinga dismissed both openers in quick succession when Shahriar Nafees' patience ran out and he tried a cheeky glance against a good-length delivery outside the off stump only to edge to Jayawardene at second slip. And Tamim Iqbal was completely beaten for pace as the ball crashed onto his stumps to end his 17-ball struggle for three runs.

At 13-2, Bangladesh promoted Mushfiqur Rahim up the order but it did not pay any dividends as the young stumper was dismissed for a four-ball duck as he got a big outside edge from Malinga to Kumar Sangakkara.

The crisis deepened when Tushar Imran was bowled by a gem of a delivery from Maharoof.

Mohammad Ashraful (29) and Aftab Ahmed, who both survived close lbw shouts several times, began the repair work but Bangladesh captain succumbed trying to play a late cut against Jayasuriya to put an end to the 61-run partnership as well as dashing all hopes of reaching a fighting total.

Aftab was the highest scorer with an 85-ball 47 that contained two fours but he offered a simple catch to Jayawardene at mid-wicket off Jayasuriya.

Shakib proved again that he was completely out of sorts while Syed Rasel gifted his wicket to Jayasuriya to complete the Lankan veteran's landmark.

Rasel took two wickets while Shahadat Hossain, who replaced Mashrafe, and Abdur Razzak picked up one wicket each to ensure another Sri Lanka top order collapse after the first match, but in the end, their total proved too small.

The third and final match will be played tomorrow at the same venue.
