Redemption complete for Mendis as Sri Lanka seal ODI series

Kandy, July 9 (UNI) Sri Lanka batter Kusal Mendis scored his sixth ODI century as the island nation clinched their three-match ODI series against Bangladesh with an impressive 99-run victory in Pallekele on Tuesday.
Mendis smashed a superb 124 from just 115 deliveries as Sri Lanka amassed 285/7 in the series decider and that proved too much for Bangladesh as they were bundled out for 186 in reply.
It saw Sri Lanka clinch a 2-1 series triumph, with Mendis hitting his sixth ODI century and deservedly named Player of the Series for his 225 runs across the three matches.
