On a rapidly aided spin on a pitch, U once took 200+ runs for the first innings, U is in luck for a crushed necklace.
This is why it is going for the ban. N96 runs in the second innings in 115/6, they will be lucky to escape an innings tomorrow.#SLVSBAN– Ambika (@APMAHAPATRA) 27 June, 2025
A mature knock by Kusal Mendis to ensure Sri Lankan leadership was ahead 200 in SSC. When he went out, he missed a well -worthy hundred. A diving attempt could not save him. He is hurting himself and hence the gloves of Lahiru Udara have been handed over. Not on Mendis region.

Taijul Islam is one of the lowest red ball spinners in world cricket.
He continuously performs on the spin friendly track, whether it is at home or away. Today, he claimed that Sri Lanka was excluded for 458 as his 17th Test fees.#SLVSBAN pic.twitter.com/eshfrqysuv
