Live updates and live score: Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand Live Cricket Score – 2nd Test match – Summary
New Zealand arrived in Colombo confident of beating hosts Sri Lanka 2-0 to topple India from the top of the ICC Test rankings, and determined to begin their run at the new ICC World Test Championship on a dominant note.
They went to Galle and battled, but ended up losing the first Test. The day five track in Galle did not turn as sharply as Kane Williamson expected it to, and New Zealand struggled to take wickets as Dimuth Karunaratne scored a superb century to maintain his unbeaten streak as Test captain. Under Karunaratne, Sri Lanka won both Test matches in South Africa earlier this year.
The teams will now play the second and final Test at Colombo’s P Sara Oval from Thursday, with Williamson’s team needing a win to avert a series loss. Seven years ago, New Zealand were beaten by 10 wickets in Galle and arrived at the P Sara Oval in similar scenes and then clinched a famous win. Will history repeat itself?
