New Zealand needs 68 more runs to win, and Rachin Ravindra is their best hope. He has 91 runs so far and must keep going. If Sri Lanka gets two more wickets early on they will win. But Ravindra has challenge. He is not used to batting without being on strike. To help New Zealand win he needs to control game and protect his teammate. If Ravindra keeps playing well and stays focused New Zealand might win. But Sri Lanka has advantage because they're playing at home and have good bowlers. It is a tense situation and Ravindra skills and mental strength will be tested.

Sri Lankan International test cricket team won the match by 63 runs. The match was very interesting and we saw healthy fight in this match but the result was in the favour of Sri Lankan team . Before 3 to 4 years we saw SL team as a bad performer but they now they are coming to their game and they are following the path of Dilshan , Sangkara and jaysurya . Kamindu Mendis played very well in this match and his team won due to his great performance because he made century for his team and Karunaratne  also played well in this match and he made 36 and 50 runs in this match.New Zealand team could not win this match but target was not big but they could not chase that due to low quality batting but their bowling was not bad.

No doubt, Sri Lanka was a threatening team back in the times, especially in the era when they won the World Cup. However, they have lost their momentum over the time and become again a weaker side. However, the way they won this test match, reminds me of their past legends and they will like to see a team with the same perfromace.

By the way, NZ was a bit unlucky losing on this one. They had the match under their belt for the most past of the game. However they could not chase a small total in the last innings and lost to the Sri Lanka as they lost all the wickets.

As New Zealand performed well in their first innings and scored runs, they completely failed in the second innings. A batsman, Rachin Ravindra played an innings of 92 runs but no one could offer a good partnership with him. A good partnership in Test cricket would definitely have made the match a win for New Zealand but New Zealand failed to form a good partnership in that regard. However, Sri Lanka's bowling action has been reasonably good and has been able to pick up wickets when they are needed, which is why Sri Lanka have managed to win the Test match.

Sri Lanka is also a strong contender in their home ground in previous match they also give a tough time to team NZ but at the end NZ batter played well and build good partnership and won the game for their team. The second test match will surely be a very interesting because SL want to level the series.

The second test match will surely be a very interesting because SL want to level the series.

The only win in this match was due to the good performance of the bowlers both in the first innings and in the second innings of the second match. Because every important batsman in the New Zealand team was out in a very short period of time, leaving the next batsmen under a lot of pressure. At this time, the New Zealand team faced a very bad situation due to which the New Zealand batsmen were forced to lose wickets and go all out under the pressure of the Sri Lankan bowlers.

Bangladesh eventually lost by a huge margin of 280 runs. The batsmen of Bangladesh could not perform well due to which Bangladesh lost by a big margin. Bangladesh were all out for 149 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh fell far behind as they were all out in the first innings with few runs. India batted better in the second innings than the first innings. India declared the innings with 287 runs in the 2nd innings. India set a huge run target due to which Bangladesh came under a lot of pressure. Mushfiqur Rahim Liton Das Mehidy Hasan Miraz against Pakistan they batted well but against India they could not bat well. Bangladesh players have to focus on the next match. Bangladesh players have to perform well in the next match especially the batting line was very weak so the batting line needs to be improved.

This is not the expected one,I had expected this will be the tough fight for this two team.Because the India already in the good form after the WT20 cup,the Bangladesh performance in the T20 was also good one.But unexpectedly the result was biased to the team India.The pressure should be avoided by the team Bangladesh to case the game,every team get pressure at the end of second innings.But the team which handle the high pressure with their sportsman spirit will make their winning in the game.Rahim was mostly expected by the Bangladesh fans,but Ashwin knock in the Chennai ground is always unique by taking 6wickets.

Sri Lankan team has tried to give maximum performance both in bowling and batting and they have succeeded, because they are doing very well in this season at present, they have unique batsmen who are also providing very good support due to which they have won against strong team like New Zealand team. If I have to say that there is a clear understanding of each bowler, because each of them has bowled well. Prabath Jayasuriya has collected five wickets which is the highest performance for this match, and he has dismissed the important and aggressive batting of the New Zealand team. The Sri Lankan team is ready to win this match by a huge margin for performing so well.

Sri Lanka cricket team is doing very well in this series with great batting and bowling. They have beaten strong team New Zealand. Their bowlers work well together led by Prabath Jayasuriya impressive 5 wicket performance. This teamwork and strategy likely bring Sri Lanka big win showing they are strong team globally. Their success will boost confidence and lead to more victories.

In the first Test match of Sri Lanka tour, visiting New Zealand was defeated by Sri Lanka by 63 runs. In the first innings, Sri Lanka managed to score 305 runs and in the second innings they managed to score 309 runs, that is, they accumulated a total of 614 runs on the scoreboard in two innings, while New Zealand collected 551 runs in two innings. However, against the runs scored by Sri Lanka in the first innings, New Zealand managed to score some more runs than Sri Lanka but New Zealand fell behind in the second innings. New Zealand were bowled out for just 211 in the second innings and this is where they drifted away from the match. However, considering the home conditions, the first match of the two-match Test series was certainly somewhat easier for Sri Lanka.

Yes, yor are right. New Zealand International test cricket team could not chase well as we expected that New Zealand team could win this match but Sri Lankan team surprise us by doing best bowling in second inning of match. Sri Lankan team gave very low target but they applied pressure on opponent team due to which New Zealand  team gave  wickets early in the the inning and nobody could stay on Wicket for long time and we saw result in the side of SL team. Sri Lankan team is leading in this series because they won the first match of series and they will try to clean sweep in this series.Kamindu Mendis century is memorable because we saw team work in this match and we saw that kind of combination after a long time . In the second inning, only Ravindra played well but his team didn't play well and they lose the match.

Although Sri Lanka won the first test match, but i am very keen to see what are the odds we get for the 2nd test match and do the gambling sites favor the Sri Lanka to win this test too and if so, Sri Lanka should get low odds as compared to their opponent  New Zealand.

Here is the odds that i get on stake.com.



Although if you choose Sri Lanka you will get 1.6 odds but I would really take a chance on New Zealand and get 2.25 odds instead. Believe me, I think it is not possible for Sri Lanka to have two consecutive wins.

Sri Lanka cricket team is doing very well in this series with great batting and bowling. They have beaten strong team New Zealand. Their bowlers work well together led by Prabath Jayasuriya impressive 5 wicket performance. This teamwork and strategy likely bring Sri Lanka big win showing they are strong team globally. Their success will boost confidence and lead to more victories.

We have well-balanced performance from the both teams in this first game as after end of first innings New Zealand were able to have the lead, but this was not enough then in second inning of the New Zealand which was fourth of this test match having impact on their performance and advantage for the home side which having quality spinners with this mini collapse at the end, make sure win for the Sri Lanka.

Rachin Ravindra done good resistance at the end but no other batsman gave him support which were also problem for the New Zealand but things were still good for both teams, and they have good batting and bowling which make this match interesting and having end on fifth and final day of the match with this win now Sri Lanka is having third spot into World Test Championship which is also good moral booster for them as next game is going to start on 26th at the same venue.

The way New Zealand batted in the first innings (340) collected 35 runs more than Sri Lanka's first innings (305). New Zealand led by 35 runs but were bowled out for just 211 runs in the second innings. In this case, New Zealand's batting is responsible for the defeat of the entire match, especially the failure of the top order batsmen forced this match to lose. On the other hand, Sri Lanka managed to turn the match into a victory with both batting and bowling performances. Prabath Jayasuriya bowled brilliantly and picked up five wickets to single-handedly play a major role in Lanka's victory.

According to the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain in Kanpur in the first two days. So, there is a chance that the first two days will be washed out without a ball being bowled. But, I am being honest; I don't think Bangladesh will be able to draw the match even if they play only three days. A single day is enough to take 20 wickets if Bangladeshi batters collapse like they did in the first match.

But as a Bangladeshi fan, I expect them to hold tight, bat as long as they can, and not play unnecessary shots. I'm unsure if they will make some changes in the team. But they should think about their Top order again. I am not expecting another batting collapse.

IMO, the ICC World Test Championship will be much more exciting, if it is played between the strongest teams. I would say that 6 teams can be included - India, Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan and New Zealand. Teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are unable to compete with the top teams at this level. For them, a separate 5-day competition can be organized by the ICC. The presence of weaker teams is one of the reasons why hardly anyone follows test cricket nowadays.

What would be the criteria for selecting the top 6 teams?

If we go with the rankings, I don't think Pakistan would make it and Sri Lanka-Windies will edge Pakistan.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 2nd Test Match is going to start tomorrow at Galle International Stadium in Sri Lanka. Undoubtedly New Zealand is a Great team having lots of archivement but Sri Lanka is also a strong opponent. And when It comes to their own Land, Sri Lanka team become more dengerous. in the first test Match, both team played good in 1st inngins even new Zealand was ahead with 35 runs. But 2nd inngins was game changer where Sri Lanka was able to hold their performance but new Zealand failed in their mission and that's why they defeated by Sri Lanka. In the 2nd match of tomorrow, google predicts 48% winning chance for Sri Lanka, 12% for draw and rest of 38% chance for new Zealand. Although cricket is so unexpected and anything is possible. If new Zealand learn from their previous mistakes, develop their stategy and able to hold their performance then it is also possible for them to archive the victory. I think this match is going to be exciting.

Still, two days are left until the second match will start between Bangladesh and India, the first match of this series was played and India won that game very easily. Yes, in the start they faced problems as they lost their main players and did not start well in the first innings but later the game came under their hands and India got players who stabled the game and India won the game on the forth day but no performance by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, these two are those players where everyone has hopes with them and they also performed in important time.

I don't think rain would help either team but maybe it may be more beneficial for the Bangladesh team in case they get into a situation where they need to bat to save the test.

Let's not focus too much on the current rankings. They will change. If we look at the performance for the last 4-5 years, then there is no comparison between Pakistan and weaker teams such as Sri Lanka and West Indies. 1-2 years of performance should not be used to promote or relegate any team in the test cricket system. Given the complexities of this format, we should take a minimum of 5 years. And apart from performance, the financial strength of the cricket boards also need to take into account.

Sri Lanka team is going to face New Zealand in the second test match tomorrow. It is expected that this match will also be very competitive. Because the first match between Sri Lanka vs New Zealand was also very exciting. We considered the New Zealand team as favourites. But in the end Sri Lanka team won the match. Sri Lankan players performed well.

New Zealand lost the first match due to poor batting in the second innings. Sri Lankan bowler Prabath Jayasuriya performed well in the first match. He took maybe 9 wickets. Mendis bowling was also very good. New Zealand will definitely want to win this match. The New Zealand team will not want to lose the series 2-0 against Sri Lanka.

No matter how bad the weather is, if a test match is organized over three days, then the result of the match will be done in these three days.  In recent times, Test matches are usually completed in four days, that is, in the first two days, two innings of the two teams are completed, and if either of the two teams are all out in the remaining one day, the result of the match will be announced on the fourth day.
The match between Bangladesh and India scheduled to be played in Kanpur may be abandoned for some overs in the session due to bad weather but there is no possibility of the entire match being abandoned.  Moreover, if the match is delayed due to bad weather, then there should not be any problem as the result of the five-day test will most likely be out in three days.

I think this match is going to be exciting.

Tomorrow is the second test match of the series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The first match of this series has won by Sri Lanka that is why I think they are fully confident as they won the last game and also did wonderful effort in the last series. Tomorrow there will be the last match of this series that I want to see Sri Laka while winning the game. Let’s see what will happen.

In the last match the player of the match award was Prabath Jayasuriya as he picked 4 wickets in one and 5 in one innings, in total he picked 9 wickets. Sri Lanka has more winning chances but we cannot rule out the New Zealand team too and this should be considered while making a bet on this match.
