Amazing coincidence! Identical collapse in Melbourne & Galle tests involving Australia because teams lose 5 for 9
In great coincidence, something extraordinary happened on the first day of February 2025, as two teams suffered identical declines. Surprisingly, both games included Australia.
There are currently two matches, one in Melbourne and the other in Galle. Australia plays a female ash test against England on the cricket field in Melbourne. On the other hand, the Australian male team locks the horn by Sri Lanka away from home in Galle.

It was a day of collapse while Australia was involved in both of them. In one game were the victim of collapse while at the other end in the other test.
Australian women collapse in the ash test
In the female test of ash, Australian women suffered shocking collapse because they lost 5 shots for 9 runs to be drawn by 440.
In this game, Australia looked good for even more leadership of the first Incini, and it seemed that it was on the way to crossing the 500 run mark. However, English bowlers bounced with a fine effort to quickly clean the tail.
Allrounder Tahlia McGrath was the first to fall among those five hickets as she tried to play the aggressive shot of Sophie Ecclestone. The Lauren Fileler then discarded Kim Garth on a third ball duck to further slide Australia.
Alana King, who had an impressive ball game, found Ecclestone dead as she picked up her Wickket. Fileler, who had an impressive day with the ball after the second day was shown the second day, got a big But Beth Mooney for a well -made 106.
Ellyse Perry was the last Wickket to fall as Spinner’s left hand Ecclestone picked up a five winch grass and ended up with 5-143 in a marathon magic where she ball 44.3 adds. The hosts took over a huge lead of 270 runs, while pulling England only 170 earlier.
Sri Lanka suffers kick collapse
In the second match, Sri Lanka was 156-5 in one stage, in response to the Australian Mammoth assessment of the first innights 654-6. The Šri Lanka hosts wanted to achieve the hits and avoid monitoring.
However, they suffered kick collapse and lost five shots for just nine rides. After a fine 51-Tryst partnership, Wickekeeper Kusal Mendis tried to play an aggressive shot that led to his release for 21 years, Spinner from the left hand of Matthew Kuhnemann.
Since the plaque has not yet been added, Dinesh Chandimal was found a plumb in front while trying to play the opposite of the Nathan Lyon reconciliation. With the still added races, Kuhnemann got another Wicket in the form of Prabath Jayasuriya. Sri Lanka lost three shots without any running added to their sum.
Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann picked up the last two wicks, that is, to pull Sri Lanka for only 165. As a result, Australia took over the huge leadership from the first attacks and also imposed tracking.
