Sri Lankan bowlers delivered amazing today but they lost control at some moment i think they got relaxed that is why New Zealand got recovered after huge disaster it was looking all team will crash under 200 runs as like they were losing wickets so quickly i still hope for New Zealand.
I think so New Zealand can make comeback if it succeed to deliver good bowling performance than it can otherwise i don't think it has chance.
Agreed with you, New zealand have to display some terrific bowling performance if they wants to comeback in this match. If not then they will loose it by big margin.
sri lanka has really come back very nice with bowling and now they have to show some good batting in 2nd innings then they are back in game , they have to take lead more than 300+ runs then i think newzealand will be in panic and that time sri lanka can bowl well and take wickets like in 1st innings.
like what i said 2nd innings is important and got a good high odd in new zealand to bet, and it payed it, they restricted sri lanka for less runs but also batted well but still they also lost 5 wickets now kane williamson is the main key player if on 4th day if he gets out soon then new zealand will also be in troubled.
Don't expect any miracles, SL has lost this match, they lost it when they failed to put up a good score on the board, they had no pressure, they needed to play calmly through the day but they played like amateurs and all the credit should go to NZ bowlers, their batters couldn't chase the first innings total and were in a tight position but their bowlers stepped up and turned things around. This match will be over in the first session tomorrow, the NZ's current rate is around 1.05, if you can bet big, this is a sure shot to make a profit.
in the game of sports you cannot you cannot tell what will happen next if sri lanka can get all out in 63 runs, why not new zealand can get all out in 30 runs, they are 5 wickets down , now only kane williamson is the key players if sri lanka do some sensibly bowling tommorrow then i think they can come back in the match.
you cannot tell before match finishes who will win surely, even if newzealand will win but not in first session they will win after 2nd session mostly if i am not wrong, if tommorrow first wicket williamson get down then we can see good match.
Finally NZ manage to win this match with lose of 5 wickets. New Zealand collected the trophy and extend their unbeaten streak to 13 Tests and which is equalling their longest in test cricket. Today SL's bowling was not so great compared to yesterday. Anyway this test performance from SL was much better than expected.
Yes, Sri Lankan bowling attack made me to think twice before put my odds. Their pace attacks were good with Maliinga, after his retirement the team management still in searching for a appropriate replacement. Kane Williams finished with century as expected and got man of the match award also. New Zealand also extended their unbeaten home streak.
But yerterday some how last few overs SL really bowled very well to pick up those 5 wickets so quickly. I thought today they will some how pull the match but bowlers didn't do that job. NZ bowlers did a superb job in second innings that's why they won this test match otherwise SL should have win it.
totally agreed sri lanka batted and bowled well in first innings and in 2nd innings till first down they were nicely batting but after that they got all our for only 60+ runs and they gave very low total to defend but still they took nicely 5 wickets but were not able to restict kane williamson from getting century and winning for his country.
congrats newzealand on winning the 2nd test matcha and now they are 2-0 in the series.
