TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Pathum Nissanka – we won’t be forgetting that name anytime soon. He was the hero of Sri Lanka’s first Test victory in over a decade against England away from home. A win like that has the ability to lift the side’s confidence multi-fold. Sri Lanka would now like to utilise it against New Zealand in home conditions. New Zealand Preview New Zealand would be ruing the missed opportunity to play Afghanistan in India as a preparation for an important Test series against Sri Lanka. Thankfully, it did not cost them any WTC points, as Afghanistan are not part of the current WTC cycle, but it surely robbed them of some essential practice against Afghanistan spinners before the trial by spin in Sri Lanka. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Galle Cricket Stadium is not good news. It is expected to experience scattered rain showers throughout the day with periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. It’s a tough call for the captain winning the toss, given the conditions. Temperatures will likely range between 26°C and 29°C with high humidity levels. Be prepared for delays and interruptions in the match.
