two last days vs last two days

Both "two last days" and "last two days" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Last two days" is the more common and natural way to express the idea of the two most recent days. On the other hand, "two last days" could be used in a specific context where you are emphasizing the fact that there were exactly two days remaining.
