A day of turning the tide in Galle
Since Sri Lanka ended up at 257, they faced a sublime battle against the Australian terrible hitting line. The mark reflected a mixed Sri Lanka bag; While Chandimalova 74 and Mendis’s undefeated 85 were commendable efforts, there was a pressurized blow. The fall of Wickkeke was stable in their inserts: Nisanka Pathum (11), Dimuth of the carunarat (36) i Angelo Mathews (1) Everyone fell cheap, leaving Chandimal and Mendis to take great responsibility.
Bowing in Australia was characterized by its effectiveness in exploiting the turning terrain; Lyon and Starc took three shots, while Kuhnemann also contributed significantly to his own moves with three winches. Australian bowlers maintained narrow lines and lengths, which proved critical in removing the order of hitting in Sri Lanka.
