    2nd Test: Chandimal's Century Puts Sri Lanka In A Strong Position On Opening Day

    By IANS News September 26, 2024 • 19:22 PM View: 776
    Galle International Stadium: Dinesh Chandimal's century coupled with half-centuries from Angelo Mathews (78*) and Kamindu Mendis (51 not out) stamped Sri Lanka's dominance on the opening day of the second Test against New Zealand at Galle International Stadium on Thursday.

    Opting to bat first, the hosts had a poor start as they lost opener Pathum Nissanka (1) cheaply to Tim Southee in the first over of the match. However, a 122-run partnership between Dimuth Karunaratne and Chadimal set the tone for a strong show as Sri Lanka ended the first day on 306/3 in 90 overs.

    The Kiwi bowlers didn't have much success on the day as they only managed to snap one wicket each in the remaining sessions. They also had a sloppy day in the field as well as they dropped three catches off William O'Rourke's bowling while Tom Blundell missed a stumping of Karunaratne in the first session.
