After winning the first match, Sri Lanka did what no one expected in the second match. Against a world class team New Zealand, Sri Lanka scored 602 runs for just five wickets. and announced the declaration. After that, just before the end of the second day’s , two important New Zealand batsmen, Tom Latham and Deven Conway, were sent to the pavilion.
Star of this day-
1 Kamindu Mendis-
Kamindu Mendis did what no one expected. He was playing a good innings since the last series. But today he scored 182 runs in 250 balls. In which he hit 4 sixes and 16 fours.
2 Kusal Mendis–
Kusal Mendis has also scored a century today. He made 106 runs in a 200-run partnership with Kamindu Mendis. Which included his 6 fours and three sixes.
Little disappointment for srilanka–
Although today the Sri Lankan batsmen performed very well and the second day’s game was very disappointing for New Zealand. But today Angelo Mathews’ wicket fell in the beginning itself. He has only 12 run needed for his century.
Controversy on dec।aration-
A question that arises here is whether this decision of declaration was correct? Because Kusal Mendis was playing at 182 runs and was just 18 runs away from his double century.
3rd day prediction–
From here, it seems very difficult for New Zealand to win. But in a cricket match, we cannot say anything. New Zealand will probably play to save the match from here. And New Zealand is also not a weak team. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is still not out and he can snatch this game from Sri Lanka’s hands
