Sri Lanka Opt To Bat In First Test Against New Zealand

By AFP News September 18, 2024 • 10:30 AM View: 833

Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva won the toss and elected to bat in the first Test against New Zealand in Galle on Wednesday.

On a spin-friendly pitch, New Zealand face an emboldened Sri Lanka who last week ended a 10-year wait for a Test match win in England, despite losing the series.
