More than 200 runs not easy to get against a class bowling team, but the Sri Lankan tailenders did well. That’s a very good performance. However, earlier, Dinesh Chandimal scored a fighting 76. Sri Lanka past 200 with the older red ball a bit helpful for the batters.
Yes, the tailenders have to comeback and bowl with variations of pace on this pitch to restrict Pakistan. The #PakistanvsSriLanka first day of the first Test equally interesting in terms of fighting hard by both the teams. However, a result is likely if there’s no rains to wipe off a day or two. On the first day of the first Test, Pakistan is on top. Let’s cover up a bit more.
The case is even if four days play likely to be played, a result is more likely. Pakistan is favorite since the first day in Sri Lanka even after the Sri Lankans defeated Australia this season.
Sri Lanka was a bit ahead of Pakistan to win because earlier right before playing Pakistan, Lankans were hot favorites. This is so because team Sri Lanka always play good cricket at their home grounds. A score of 222 bowled-out on the first day, not so scary for Pakistan. If Pakistan takes a lead of over 100 runs, tomorrow, then Pakistan would more likely to win this Test match at Galle international stadium.
Shaheen Afridi picked 4 wickets. Hasan Ali picked 2 wickets. Yasir Shah picked 2 wickets. Also, M. Nawaz and Yasir Shah picked one each. Will the batters respond as all the Pakistani bowlers picked wickets? Shaheen Afridi once again becomes top wicket taker for Pakistan.
Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan First Test Short Story
Babar Azam was losing his patience, but he brought back Shaheen Afridi, who earlier, took 3 big wickets to put Sri Lanka in trouble.
A good decision and so immediately, Shaheen Afridi ends Sri Lankan innings with the first ball of his fifteenth over. He took the last wicket of the fighting tailender M. Theekshana (38 runs, 65b) caught behind by wicketkeeper M. Rizwan. He claimed 4 wickets, giving away 58 runs, and bowled 14.1 overs.
The day ended as Pakistan bowled well initially and batted so far, badly, not as expected. The pitch also looks not so good to bat, but Sri Lanka past 200 to fight hard. They’re fighting hard and so the first Test match #SriLankavsPakistan looks interesting.
“But on the third or fourth day, it would be tough for Sri Lanka to save the Test match. Eventually, a defeat stares at Sri Lanka at the hands of Pakistan”. Said a Pakistani optimistic fan. Well, that’s a different story. Anything can happen.
Pakistan lost Imam Ul Huq, who was leg before wicket to Kasun Rajitha. A review also couldn’t save him. Babar Azam and Azhar Ali batting on 1 and 3 respectively. A long way to go. Pakistan cricket keeps hopes alive. Hopes Babar Azam to score yet another century.
Earlier, Sri Lanka fought back after losing 5 wickets, and managed to score a fighting first innings’ total-score. The total of 222 looks good because Pakistan lost their first wicket at just 12 runs. Second wicket at the score of 21. Also, 2-3 quick wickets during the first session (before lunch) likely to bring back Sri Lanka in the game.
