That concludes the exciting opening Test between these two teams. Against all odds, Sri Lanka leads this two-test series 1-0. On Thursday, September 26, there will be a second test between these two teams. The start time of the match is 4.30 am GMT. But as you are all aware, we start building up much earlier, so please come along for the ride. Till then, be careful, and enjoy yourself!
While the New Zealanders showed some resiliency in multiple partnerships during the last chase of 275, their main hitters ultimately failed to register large totals. Although Ravindra gave an excellent performance, his teammates did not consistently back him. In the end, he was fired on 92. With eight wickets between them, Jayasuriya and Ramesh showed out in the bowling department and were instrumental in their team’s convincing win.
Following their decision to bat after winning the toss, Sri Lanka’s innings failed to gather steam early on, leaving them in a vulnerable position at 106/4. On the other hand, Kamindu Mendis’s tremendous ton was crucial. Mendis’s efforts were crucial in leading the team above the 300-run threshold and ultimately setting a competitive total, along with some very important contributions from other players.
