Sri Lanka is looking very strong at the moment. They are 306/3 at the end of first day's play with Angelo Mathews and Kamindu Mendis at the crease. New Zealand has failed to overcome their weakness in sub-continental conditions. William O’Rourke and Ajaz Patel performed decently in the first match, but they failed this time. A lot was expected from Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips as well, but they also failed to take wickets. Maybe the New Zealand captain need to use Rachin Ravindra more frequently in these spin-friendly conditions.
