Tamim Iqbal`s innings of 82 was his 22nd Test half-centurySecond Test, Colombo: Sri Lanka 338 & 319: Karunaratne 126, D Perera 50 Bangladesh 467 & 191-6: Tamim 82 Bangladesh win by four wickets - series level at 1-1 ScorecardBangladesh celebrated their 100th Test with only their ninth ever victory - and their first against Sri Lanka - in Colombo.
The Tigers also became only the fourth team to win their 100th Test, after Australia, Pakistan and West Indies.
Prior to that victory over Alastair Cook`s England, Bangladesh had only beaten Zimbabwe and a weakened West Indies team in Test cricket.
The victory continues Bangladesh`s improvement in the longest format after they also beat England in October.
Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (22*) kept his nerve after some middle-order wickets to see his side over the line for a four-wicket win, ensuring the two-match series was drawn.
