SL vs WI (2nd Test – Day 1)

Winning the toss, Sri Lankan Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne elected to bat first in the second Test of the series yesterday. But not a single ball was bowled in the first two sessions of the match due to rain. In the last session, Sri Lanka lost 1 wicket in 34.4 overs and scored 113 runs.

Sri Lankan openers Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne got off to a great start after coming down to bat first. These two batsmen collected a big score of 106 runs in the opening partnership. Karunaratne made 42 off 90 balls and returned to the pavilion after falling victim to Roston Chase, but Nissanka picked up the 3rd half-century of his Test career.

Due to lack of light, the 1st day’s game ended a little before the scheduled time. Nissanka is unbeaten on 61 runs and Oshada Fernando is unbeaten on 2 runs.
