All rounder Sanath Jayasuriya claimed his 300th one-day wicket to help Sri Lanka bowl out Bangladesh for 137 in the second one-day international on Monday.
Jayasuriya claimed four wickets for 31 runs from 9.5 overs to become the ninth player in ODI history to take 300 wickets.
The 38-year-old veteran — who had scored 12,084 runs in 396 matches prior to this one — is the only player in history to have scored over 10,000 runs and taken 300 wickets.
Jayasuriya was assisted by paceman Lasith Malinga, who ripped through the Bangladesh top order with the new ball after Sri Lanka had chosen to bowl in overcast conditions.
Bowling with great pace, Malinga had Shariar Nafees (six) caught at slip, bowled Tamin Iqbal (four) with a yorker and then dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim for a duck as wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara took a brilliant one-handed catch.
Bangladesh had slumped to 13-3, a position from which they were never really able to recover.
Middle order batsman Aftab Ahmed, however, provided some resistance with 47 from 85 balls including two boundaries.
Ahmed added 61 for the fifth wicket with skipper Mohammad Ashraful, who scored 29, the pair successfully milking the spinners after the quick bowlers were removed from the attack.
But Jayasuriya triggered the final collapse as he snared Ashraful and then mopped up the lower order. – Reuters
