By IANS News March 18, 2023 • 10:12 AM View: 635

Sri Lanka was the only side that could have ruined India's chances of qualifying and they nearly did so. The last ball of a Test match victory by New Zealand against Sri Lanka was the closest finish one could ever imagine.

The New Zealand captain, Kane Williamson, scrambled to get the last run and managed to reach the crease through the closest of margins.This was Test cricket at its best and one that will keep it flourishing in the future.
