Sri Lanka completed a 2-0 T20 international series win over Bangladesh with a 75-run victory in the second and final game in Sylhet.

Kusal Mendis top scored in Sri Lanka's 210-4 with 70 from 42 balls, three days after he hit 53 in Dhaka as the visitors won the first game of the series by six wickets.

Mendis put on 98 with opening partner Danushka Gunathilaka (42), who was dropped twice, before Thisara Perera (31 off 17), Upul Tharanga (25 off 13) and Dasun Shanaka (30no off 11) pummelled boundaries.

Mahmudullah, standing in as skipper for the injured Shakib Al Hasan, struck 41 for Bangladesh before he was run out by Jeevan Mendis as the home side slumped to 135 all out in 18.4 overs.

Sri Lanka's success adds to a 1-0 win in the preceding Test series - the first Test in Chittagong was drawn before the tourists hammered the hosts by 215 in the second in Dhaka - and victory in an ODI Tri-Series that also featured Zimbabwe.
