"We lost a lot of wickets and 200 was looking difficult at one point. Mushfiqur's innings was really good and Mahmudullah chipped in as well. We still haven't nailed it yet. Hope to play well in the third match."
Sri Lanka was 126-9 after 38 overs when rain interrupted the game for a third time. Sri Lanka was set a revised target of 245 in 40 overs, meaning it needed 119 runs from the final two overs. The visitors ended on 141-9.
Bangladesh won by 33 runs on Sunday in the first of their three-match series. The final match is on Friday.
Mushfiqur, who scored 84 in the first match, helped Bangladesh recover from a shaky start after Tamim opted to bat first.

Sri Lanka fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera utilized the early moisture of the wicket well to swing the ball in both ways.
His inswinger accounted both Tamim and Shakib Al Hasan in the space of three balls in the second over, leaving Bangladesh 15-2.
Chameera reviewed his leg-before wicket appeal against Tamim, who scored 13, successfully to overturn the umpire's decision. Later, he got Shakib (0) via leg-before also.
Out-of-form Liton Das struggled to make 25 off 42, with two fours before left-arm spinner Lakshan Sandakan got the better of him with a delivery that turned sharply.
Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah shared a fifth-wicket stand of 87 to help Bangladesh hit back. Mushfiqur reached his half-century by slog-sweeping Sandakan for two off 70 balls.
