After reaching the 200-run
landmark, Mushfiqur Rahim has become the first Bangladeshi player to score double-century
in Test cricket. This rare achievement has come on day four of Bangladesh’s first test match against Sri Lanka on March 11 (Monday).
Bangladeshi skipper was on
198 at lunch. Coming to bat after the break, he picked up two singles to reach
his milestone
and celebrated his double century. However, he could not prolong his innings as
he was trapped lbw by Nuwan Kulasekera.
He faced 321 balls and in
his 438-minute long innings, he hit 22 fours and a six. His double century
against Sri
Lanka
not only helped to make a highest total but also gave Sri Lanka 68-run lead.
Mohammad Ashraful was
unlucky to get his first double-century as he got out on 190 runs. He could add
only one run to his overnight score.
The first test match
between Sri
Lanka
and Bangladesh ended in a draw.
