SL vs NZ | Kamindu Mendis' heroics and Jayasuriya's mastery seal Sri Lanka's whitewash over Kiwis
Sri Lanka achieved a triumphant victory by an innings and 154 runs against New Zealand at Galle. The batting lineup was led by stellar centuries from Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, and Kusal Mendis, while Prabath Jayasuriya's nine-wicket haul dismantled the Kiwis, forcing a follow-on.
After lunch, Sri Lankan spin wizard Prabhath Jayasuriya claimed another wicket, dismissing Patel in the 79th over. With the Kiwis teetering on the brink of a whitewash, the last batter William O'Rourke faced the challenge. Ultimately, in the 82nd over Nishan Peiris sealed the victory by dismissing Santner, leading Sri Lanka to a resounding win by an innings and 154 runs. With a stellar display of batting and bowling, Sri Lanka now sits third in the ICC World Test Championship table securing 60 points and trailing only behind India and Australia.
Ohh
Depending Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka by 2-0 with an inexperience team is not a cup of tea for everyone but my captain did it.#BabarAzam𓃵|#BabarAzam pic.twitter.com/Z072b1SNRS
