SL vs NZ 2nd Test: New Zealand Aim To Bounce Back After First Test Defeat

By AFP News September 25, 2024 • 18:04 PM View: 633

New Zealand must adapt to the tricky Galle surface if they are to avenge their hard-fought Test loss to Sri Lanka this week, coach Gary Stead said on Wednesday.

Despite not having played a warm-up match, the Kiwis showed resilience by taking a first-innings lead, but Sri Lanka's experience in home conditions ultimately helped them secure a close victory on the final morning.
