Srilanka Vs England 2nd Test Match
Today is the 2nd Test match between Srilanka and England. They have played two test matches before first was the tour match and after that they played the first test match. And in both matches England showed great performance and they are looking still strong. And I think they will play well in this Test match which is going to start today. Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.
England are leading the series by 1-0 and there are high chances that they will make it 2-0 by the end of this test match. If Srilanka is able to only draw this test, i would consider it an achievement for them. In the last test match, the Srilanka team were quickly out at 236 but made an improvement in 2nd innings by making 300+ runs. Similarly, in bowling, they were able to take 5 wickets for England at 200 runs.
Things were looking better for Sri Lanka at the end of that test match but it was too late for them to come back. If they can contiune that form, maybe they can give surprise to the England team but right now all the odds favour England to win this test.
It is difficult to beat England on their home turf. If Sri Lanka takes the wicket of Joe Root early in the inning they will have a chance in this test match. The problem with the Sri Lankan team is that their top order has not performed in the past few games. Their middle order worked hard to get them some runs in the last few games. If England bowlers manage to take the wickets of the Sri Lankan de Silva, Chandimal, Mathews, and Kamindu Mendis in quick succession, things will get difficult for them. Kamindu Mendis is an excellent talent and performed in many pressure games. I expect a good game of cricket as I think Sri Lanka will improve their performance in this test match.
