New Zealand Tour of Sri Lanka 2024: It is time for another action-packed Test series to get underway. New Zealand will be touring Sri Lanka for an all-important Test series, starting on September 18. Both teams will play two matches on this tour, and these games are part of the ongoing World Test Championship 2023-25, which is why both teams will be looking forward to this series.
The first test will start on September 19, while the second game is scheduled to start on September 26. Both teams will take place at Galle International Stadium. New Zealand and Sri Lanka both have a great chance of making it to the WTC final next year at Lord's, and this series will surely give a team a push in the race.
SL vs NZ: New Zealand Tour of Sri Lanka 2024: Venue and Records
Galle International Stadium is one of the most iconic Sri Lankan stadiums, which was established back in 1876. Sri Lanka play most of the home test matches at this venue, along with Premadasa Stadium. The first Test was played at this venue in 1998. The average first-inning score here is 365, and the batting in the fourth inning is always hard. That is why the team that bats first has a better record, and the pitch is expected to be spin-friendly. This venue will host matches in the coming tour.
