And with that our coverage of this match comes to an end. Goodbye!
Sri Lanka take a victory lap after a well-deserved victory.
Sri Lanka have pull off a stunning victory in Japan! They were four down in four overs in the first innings but an incredible 65 off 32 from Tharindu Ratnayake propelled them to a challenging total. Nuwan Thushara and Ratnayake provided an excellent start with the ball in the second innings, never allowing the Bangladeshi batters to settle in. The rest chipped in with wickets throughout the middle overs as any thoughts of Bangladesh's recovery were laid to rest.
